Computational Semantics in Clinical Text [PDF]
Biomedical Informatics Insights, 2013 This special issue of Biomedical Informatics Insights presents the full paper proceedings of the first workshop on Computational Semantics in Clinical Text (CSCT), held in 2013. Along with Nigam Shah and Kevin Bretonnel Cohen, my co-organizers, I am grateful for BII’s willingness to produce this forward-looking publication.

Is semantics computational? [PDF]
Theoretical Linguistics, 2006 Abstract 1. Introduction Both formal semantics and cognitive semantics are the source of important insights about language. By developing precise statements of the rules of meaning in fragmentary, abstract languages, formalists have been able to offer perspicuous accounts of how we might ...

Political Text Scaling Meets Computational Semantics
, 2021 During the last fifteen years, automatic text scaling has become one of the key tools of the Text as Data community in political science. Prominent text scaling algorithms, however, rely on the assumption that latent positions can be captured just by ...

Semantics of optimistic computation [PDF]
Proceedings.,10th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems, 2002 The derivation of a semantically equivalent optimistic computation from a pessimistic computation by application-independent transformations is discussed. Computations are modeled by program dependence graphs (PDGS). The semantics of a computation is defined by a mapping from an initial state to a final state and is realized by a graph rewriting system.

Natural Language Semantics and Computability [PDF]
Journal of Logic, Language and Information, 2019 This paper is a reflexion on the computability of natural language semantics. It does not contain a new model or new results in the formal semantics of natural language: it is rather a computational analysis of the logical models and algorithms currently used in natural language semantics, defined as the mapping of a statement to logical formulas ...

Don't Blame Distributional Semantics if it can't do Entailment [PDF]
, 2019 Distributional semantics has had enormous empirical success in Computational Linguistics and Cognitive Science in modeling various semantic phenomena, such as semantic similarity, and distributional models are widely used in state-of-the-art Natural ...

A Denotational Semantics for First-Order Logic [PDF]
, 2000 In Apt and Bezem [AB99] (see cs.LO/9811017) we provided a computational interpretation of first-order formulas over arbitrary interpretations. Here we complement this work by introducing a denotational semantics for first-order logic.

A computational model of the referential semantics of projective prepositions [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper we present a framework for interpreting locative expressions containing the prepositions in front of and behind. These prepositions have different semantics in the viewer-centred and intrinsic frames of reference (Vandeloise, 1991).

Causal Consistency for Reversible Multiparty Protocols [PDF]
, 2020 In programming models with a reversible semantics, computational steps can be undone. This paper addresses the integration of reversible semantics into process languages for communication-centric systems equipped with behavioral types.
