Learning to Learn Concept Descriptions
… structures used in the expression of concept descriptions, together with the tolerance to unknown words. The importance of these characteristics is due to the fact that Machine Learning systems are trained on a statistical sample of the problem space, and they have to learn to generalize over …

Descriptions as restricted free variables
… I provide a referential account of definite descriptions, situated in a static framework. According to that analysis, definite descriptions denote free variable complexes that carry assignment restrictions that are determined by their descriptive content. When all variables in the complex are …

Heuristics for use case descriptions.
… Communicability as quality features of use case descriptions that make them more comprehensible. The 7 C's are derived from software engineering best practice on use case descriptions and from theories of text comprehension. To help in writing descriptions, the CP Use Case Writing Rules are …

Pragmatics and Grammatical Descriptions (Japanese)
The goal of the dissertation is to argue for the recent position that strictly distinguishes between grammar and pragmatics and discuss its consequences. By now it is clear that "raw" linguistic data contain many pragmatic elements, whether they are speech act properties, implicatures, beliefs and …

Information fusion in taxonomic descriptions
… in text. It is observed that individual descriptions may not contain sufficient information to differentiate the target species from others, and different information sources might contain not only overlap information but also complementary information that is helpful. We also observe …

Automatic discovery of descriptions of permutation statistics
The field of permutation statistics is an established subfield of combinatorics with connections to many other fields, such as genome rearrangements, computer science and physics. The definitions of these statistics can be something simple, like counting the occurrences of a classical pattern in …

Generating computer programs from natural language descriptions
This thesis addresses the problem of learning to translate natural language into preexisting programming languages supported by widely-deployed computer systems. Generating programs for existing computer systems enables us to take advantage of two important capabilities of these systems: computing …
