Quantum Uncertainties and Holism Seem to Render Irrelevant Qudit-Semantics
Entropy, 2021 We consider a semantics based on the peculiar holistic features of the quantum formalism. Any formula of the language gives rise to a quantum circuit that transforms the density operator associated to the formula into the density operator associated to ...

Compositional Temporal Grounding with Structured Variational Cross-Graph Correspondence Learning [PDF]
Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2022 Temporal grounding in videos aims to localize one target video segment that semantically corresponds to a given query sentence. Thanks to the semantic diversity of natural language descriptions, temporal grounding allows activity grounding beyond pre ...

Movement timing and invariance arise from several geometries. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2009 Human movements show several prominent features; movement duration is nearly independent of movement size (the isochrony principle), instantaneous speed depends on movement curvature (captured by the 2/3 power law), and complex movements are composed of ...

Meaningful syntactic structure in songbird vocalizations? [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2018 The faculty of language is thought to be uniquely human. Recently, it has been claimed that songbirds are able to associate meaning with sound, comparable to the way that humans do.

First-Principles and Thermodynamics Comparison of Compositionally-Tuned Delafossites: Cation Release from the (001) Surface of Complex Metal Oxides [PDF]
Environmental Science: Nano, 2019 Nanoscale complex metal oxides have transformed how technology is used around the world. A ubiquitous example is the class of electroreactive cathodes used in Li-ion batteries, found in portable electronics and electric cars. Lack of recyling infrasructure and financial drivers contribute to improper disposal, and ultimate introduction of these ...

Non-Compositional Term Dependence for Information Retrieval [PDF]
, 2015 Modelling term dependence in IR aims to identify co-occurring terms that are too heavily dependent on each other to be treated as a bag of words, and to adapt the indexing and ranking accordingly.

Compositionality Meets Belief Revision: a Bayesian Model of Modification
Review of Philosophy and Psychology, 2020 The principle of compositionality claims that the content of a complex concept is determined by its constituent concepts and the way in which they are composed. However, for prototype concepts this principle is often too rigid.

Compositionnalité gestaltiste et construction du sens par instructions dynamiques
CogniTextes, 2010 The pervasiveness of polysemy in languages compels us to consider the interpretation of utterances as a dynamic process in which the meaning of each linguistic unit is determined as the overall meaning of the utterance is constructed.

On the Meaning of Transition System Specifications [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2019 Transition System Specifications provide programming and specification languages with a semantics. They provide the meaning of a closed term as a process graph: a state in a labelled transition system.

From holism to compositionality: memes and the evolution of segmentation, syntax, and signification in music and language [PDF]
, 2015 Steven Mithen argues that language evolved from an antecedent he terms “Hmmmmm, [meaning it was] Holistic, manipulative, multi-modal, musical and mimetic”.
