Revisiting Negation in Neural Machine Translation
Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2021 In this paper, we evaluate the translation of negation both automatically and manually, in English–German (EN–DE) and English– Chinese (EN–ZH).

On the Cost of Negation for Dynamic Pruning [PDF]
, 2018 Negated query terms allow documents containing such terms to be filtered out of a search results list, supporting disambiguation. In this work, the effect of negation on the efficiency of disjunctive, top-k retrieval is examined.

A Multilingual Benchmark for Probing Negation-Awareness with Minimal Pairs
Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning, 2021 Negation is one of the most fundamental concepts in human cognition and language, and several natural language inference (NLI) probes have been designed to investigate pretrained language models’ ability to detect and reason with negation.

A set of semantic and pragmatic criteria for descriptive vs. metalinguistic negation
Glossa, 2018 This article is about metalinguistic negation and the types of criteria making a straightforward distinction between descriptive (DN) and metalinguistic negation (MN). First, I will distinguish three types of negation: one type of DN and two types of MN,

Revisiting postverbal standard negation in the Jê languages
Boletim do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi. Ciências Humanas, 2022 In the Jê languages standard negators tend to take a post-verbal position. This paper asks why this should be the case and therefore discusses earlier accounts relating Jê standard negators to either negative verbs or privative postpositions.

Stratified Negation in Datalog with Metric Temporal Operators
AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2021 We extend DatalogMTL—Datalog with operators from metric temporal logic—by adding stratified negation as failure. The new language provides additional expressive power for representing and reasoning about temporal data and knowledge in a wide range of ...

The Processing of Negation and Polarity: An Overview
Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2021 Negation is a universal component of human language; polarity sensitivity (i.e., lexical distributional constraints in relation to negation) is arguably so while being pervasive across languages. Negation has long been a field of inquiry in psychological

Exponential negation of a probability distribution [PDF]
Soft Computing - A Fusion of Foundations, Methodologies and Applications, 2020 Negation operation is important in intelligent information processing. Different existing arithmetic negation, an exponential negation is presented in this paper. The new negation can be seen as a kind of geometry negation.

It’s not a Non-Issue: Negation as a Source of Error in Machine Translation [PDF]
Findings, 2020 As machine translation (MT) systems progress at a rapid pace, questions of their adequacy linger. In this study we focus on negation, a universal, core property of human language that significantly affects the semantics of an utterance.

Strong negation in the theory of computable functionals TCF [PDF]
Logical Methods in Computer ScienceWe incorporate strong negation in the theory of computable functionals TCF, a common extension of Plotkin's PCF and G\"{o}del's system $\mathbf{T}$, by defining simultaneously strong negation $A^{\mathbf{N}}$ of a formula $A$ and strong negation $P^{
