Complex Predicates and the Functional Sequence
Nordlyd: Tromsø University Working Papers on Language & Linguistics, 2008 In this paper I argue that a fine-grained functional hierarchy of semantically contentful categories such as Tense, Aspect, Initiation, and Process has explanatory power in understanding the crosslinguistic distribution of complex predicates.

CHARDA: Causal Hybrid Automata Recovery via Dynamic Analysis [PDF]
, 2017 We propose and evaluate a new technique for learning hybrid automata automatically by observing the runtime behavior of a dynamical system. Working from a sequence of continuous state values and predicates about the environment, CHARDA recovers the ...

On Formal Specification of Maple Programs [PDF]
, 2012 This paper is an example-based demonstration of our initial results on the formal specification of programs written in the computer algebra language MiniMaple (a substantial subset of Maple with slight extensions). The main goal of this work is to define

El + verb complex predicates in Hungarian
Nordlyd: Tromsø University Working Papers on Language & Linguistics, 2008 This paper investigates the structure of complex predicates comprising the verbal particle el- (`away') and a verb in Hungarian. I show that el- has different meaning contributions to the predication when combined with different types of verbs.
