Conceptual defaults in fuzzy ontology
2016 Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society (NAFIPS)
Year: 2016 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (3)
The paper explores the fuzzy status of implicit information in natural language text, focusing on conceptual defaults, the routinely omitted information that readers/hearers equally routinely reconstruct. Making this information available to the natural language processing computer is essential, and fuzziness is a major issue. An analysis of 1,000 English sentences has demonstrated a diverse combi...Show More
Accessing implicit meaning: Towards computational ability to reconstruct textual omissions
2016 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC)
Year: 2016 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (1)
This paper describes an early step in approaching implicit meaning computationally. It outlines various types of implicit meanings and then presents a method of finding the so called defaults - omissions that are universally reconstructable and, of course, interpretible without much additional reasoning. The defaults are analyzed on the example of the 1000 instances of TerminateLife events, and a ...Show More
Using frame semantics in authorship attribution
2016 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC)
Year: 2016 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (8)
Authorship attribution is a stylometric technique that associates text to authors based on the type of writing styles. Researchers have looked for ways to analyze the context of these texts, in some cases with limited results. Most of the approaches view information at the syntactic and physical levels and tend to ignore information from the semantic levels. In this paper, we present a technique t...Show More
Towards Computer Understanding of Direct Object Defaults
Tatiana R. Ringenberg;Lauren M. Stuart;Julia M. Taylor;Victor Raskin
2015 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics
Year: 2015 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (3)
The paper addresses the phenomenon of direct object defaults in text as part of exploring the meaning of the unsaid and making it accessible for computer understanding. It describes a large but reasonably simple computer experiment on the basis of one hypothesis about defaults, namely, that a true default may appear as a direct object only if modified, e.g., Bob ate fresh food but? Bob ate food. T...Show More
This paper details a method for detecting senses (meaning) of entries for an English lexicon. The examples are based on size adjectives within a semantic-based natural language processing system such as the Ontological Semantic Technology system described in [1] and developed and improved elsewhere [2]-[6]. The method attempts to calculate the approximate meaning of unknown words. For the describe...Show More
Comprehensive semantics in robotic intelligence and communication: Necessity and feasibility
2015 6th International Conference on Automation, Robotics and Applications (ICARA)
Year: 2015 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (2)
The paper asserts the urgent need to semanticalize robotic intelligence and communication. It also circumscribes the volume of work that needs to be accomplished for the robot to approach the level of human understanding. Now, robotic intelligence is a specific part of artificial intelligence, and the need to semanticalize pertains to the whole field but the world of the robot seems “smaller,” and...Show More
Comparing machine and human ability to detect phishing emails
2014 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC)
Year: 2014 | Conference Paper |
This paper compares the results of computer and human efforts to determine whether an email is legitimate or a phishing attempt. For this purpose, we have run two series of experiments, one for the computer and the other for human subjects. Both experiments addressed the same corpora, one of phishing emails, and the other of legitimate ones. Both the computer and human subjects were asked to detec...Show More
Semantic anonymization of medical records
2014 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC)
Year: 2014 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (2)
In recent years, especially with the backing of HIPPA, anonymization of records became an increasing concern. Much research has been done in the area of anonymization of medical records. Anonymization is often based on generalizing, or removing, several fields which have been deemed identifiable. Little research has been done on anonymizing patient symptoms themselves. In this paper, we propose an...Show More

On Identifying Authors with Style
Lauren M. Stuart;Saltanat Tazhibayeva;Amy R. Wagoner;Julia M. Taylor
2013 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics
Year: 2013 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (20)
Stylometry is the quantified (often statistical) analysis of author style as a set of (usually morphosyntactic) features expressed in several documents by the author. The focus of this paper is a task to which stylometry is often applied: authorship attribution, the question of identifying or confirming the author of a text based on the known body of work. We analyze a feature set previously intro...Show More
Style Features for Authors in Two Languages

Is natural language ever really vague? A computational semantic view
2013 IEEE International Conference on Cybernetics (CYBCO)
Year: 2013 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (7)
The paper starts out with an observation that, in the domain of fuzzy logic, fuzzy sets, computing with words, etc., the charges from the outside that fuzziness equals probability are routinely and calmly rebuffed, but confusing fuzziness with vagueness has not been ultimately dealt with even inside the community. We leave completely aside the category of vagueness that is an artifact of approache...Show More
Computing with prepositions: Fuzzy semantics
2013 Joint IFSA World Congress and NAFIPS Annual Meeting (IFSA/NAFIPS)
Year: 2013 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (3)
Following the Computing With Words, in its wider sense, this paper examines the treatment of prepositions with fuzzy logic. In particular, the paper looks at the treatment of two prepositions, in and on, from both the theoretical perspective and that of a text sample analysis. We have shown that the fuzzy analysis of prepositional meaning is helpful for its formal and computational representation,...Show More
Computing with prepositions: Syntax
2013 Joint IFSA World Congress and NAFIPS Annual Meeting (IFSA/NAFIPS)
Year: 2013 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (4)
Prepositional phrase attachment has been explored as a source of both ambiguity and (not unrelated) processing errors. To date, the approaches to resolve this problem in syntactic parsing have been crisp and/or probabilistic, though some approaches look promising for the integration of fuzzy processing. Prepositions, as function words, can be described in syntactic terms, but their interactions wi...Show More
Understanding and structuring NL descriptions: The case of 101 animals
2012 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC)
Year: 2012 | Conference Paper |
Our premise is that an intelligent system should be able to structure all the information that can be obtained from natural language text, and it should do it in such a manner that the structured information be useful for further processing. This paper presents an experiment in structuring information from the natural language incomplete descriptions of 101 animals collected from a children's dict...Show More
Towards noun-driven parsing
2012 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC)
Year: 2012 | Conference Paper |
Natural language understanding systems are increasingly needed for intuitive, efficient interaction with large information stores. The object-centered nature of these stores - that they encode states, attributes, and relationships of objects - may not be best served by the current verb-driven syntactic paradigm. We develop a highly-parallelizable noun-driven syntax in response, and evaluate its pe...Show More
Matching human understanding: Syntax and semantics revisited
2012 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC)
Year: 2012 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (3)
This paper revises the classic Ontological Semantics theory with regard to the output of the analyzer. We argue that it is not enough to produce semantic interpretation of text, and syntactic trees should serve not only as clues for semantic processing but also as an output in its own right. We show that it is useful to combine both results of syntactic and semantic processing in a single output w...Show More

2012 Annual Meeting of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society (NAFIPS)
Year: 2012 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (7)
In this paper, we report on a part of a large experiment in structuring information from natural language descriptions of animals from a children's dictionary. The structuring included the recognition and postulation of properties and capturing the is-a hierarchy from the descriptions. The material was taken from the 2007 edition of the American Heritage First Dictionary. We applied the methodolog...Show More
Computing with nouns and verbs
2012 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems
Year: 2012 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (9)
The paper makes a case for expanding the range of words that Computing With Words typically considers to, eventually, all the words in a natural language, thus accounting accurately for the inherent vagueness of natural language meaning and creating an overlap with computational semantics. The claim is illustrated with examples of a few English nouns and verbs rather than the usual adjectives and ...Show More
A natural language exchange model for enabling human, agent, robot and machine interaction
Eric T. Matson;Julia Taylor;Victor Raskin;Byung-Cheol Min;E. Cho Wilson
The 5th International Conference on Automation, Robotics and Applications
Year: 2011 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (30)
Models of communications in heterogeneous systems support exchange between agents of different types. A key component is making the heterogeneous agents appear indistinguishable to and from each other in terms of language, to normalize communication. A goal is to act as an open system, where the agents can come and exit as needed by the requirements of the overall goal of the system. The main goal...Show More
From Disambiguation Failures to Common-Sense Knowledge Acquisition: A Day in the Life of an Ontological Semantic System
2011 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conferences on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology
Year: 2011 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (27)
The paper describes a semi-automatic method of identifying common-sense knowledge by running an ontological semantic system and focusing on its failures to interpret sentences that a human is not challenged by. Without common-sense knowledge, "He put a banana in his trunk" produces 6 representations, corresponding to 6 senses of "trunk" recorded in the lexicon and anchored in different ontological...Show More
