Representation and Inference for Natural Language: A First Course in Computational Semantics
Computational Linguistics, 2021 This book introduces fundamental techniques for computing semantic representations for fragments of natural language and performing inference with the result. The prinary tools used are first-order logic and lambda calculus. All the techniques introduced

Towards Universal Semantic Tagging [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 The paper proposes the task of universal semantic tagging---tagging word tokens with language-neutral, semantically informative tags. We argue that the task, with its independent nature, contributes to better semantic analysis for wide-coverage ...

Using logical constraints to validate statistical information about disease outbreaks in collaborative knowledge graphs: the case of COVID-19 epidemiology in Wikidata [PDF]
PeerJ Computer Science, 2022 Urgent global research demands real-time dissemination of precise data. Wikidata, a collaborative and openly licensed knowledge graph available in RDF format, provides an ideal forum for exchanging structured data that can be verified and consolidated ...

Phyloreferences: Tree-Native, Reproducible, and Machine-Interpretable Taxon Concepts
Philosophy, Theory, and Practice in Biology, 2022 Evolutionary and organismal biology have become inundated with data. At the same rate, we are experiencing a surge in broader evolutionary and ecological syntheses for which tree-thinking is the staple for a variety of post-tree analyses.

Historical Semantics – A Vade Mecum
Österreichische Zeitschrift für Geschichtswissenschaften, 2023 This paper presents the historical semantics approach as a method for social history. While usually understood either as a form of conceptual and intellectual history of ideas or as a subdiscipline of philology and digital humanities, the authors of ...

Semantics for Combinatory Logic With Intersection Types
Frontiers in Computer Science, 2022 There is a plethora of semantics of computational models, nevertheless, the semantics of combinatory logic are among the less investigated ones. In this paper, we propose semantics for the computational system of combinatory logic with intersection types.

Hierarchy-aware Label Semantics Matching Network for Hierarchical Text Classification
Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2021 Hierarchical text classification is an important yet challenging task due to the complex structure of the label hierarchy. Existing methods ignore the semantic relationship between text and labels, so they cannot make full use of the hierarchical ...

SentiBERT: A Transferable Transformer-Based Architecture for Compositional Sentiment Semantics [PDF]
Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2020 We propose SentiBERT, a variant of BERT that effectively captures compositional sentiment semantics. The model incorporates contextualized representation with binary constituency parse tree to capture semantic composition.
