A theory of pragmatic information and its application to the quasi-species model of biological evolution [PDF]
Biosystems, 2002 "Standard" information theory says nothing about the semantic content of information.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) data are needed to support off-label dosing, however for many drugs such data are either sparse or not representative. Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models are increasingly used to study PK and guide dosing decisions.

Modeling Individual Differences in Children’s Information Integration During Pragmatic Word Learning
Open Mind, 2022 Abstract Pragmatics is foundational to language use and learning. Computational cognitive models have been successfully used to predict pragmatic phenomena in adults and children – on an aggregate level. It is unclear if they can be used to predict behavior on an individual level.
