Embodied human computer interaction

J Pustejovsky, N Krishnaswamy - KI-Künstliche Intelligenz, 2021 - Springer
In this paper, we argue that embodiment can play an important role in the design and
modeling of systems developed for Human Computer Interaction. To this end, we describe a …

The scope of alternatives: Indefiniteness and islands

S Charlow - Linguistics and Philosophy, 2020 - Springer
I argue that alternative-denoting expressions interact with their semantic context by taking
scope. With an empirical focus on indefinites in English, I show how this approach improves …

[PDF][PDF] On the semantics of exceptional scope

S Charlow - 2014 - semanticsarchive.net
I motivate a new theory of exceptional scope phenomena in natural language—that is, the
ability of some expressions to affect the interpretation of others from inside scope islands. I …

[PDF][PDF] Static and dynamic exceptional scope

S Charlow - Journal of Semantics, 2020 - lingbuzz.net
This paper proposes a formal account of indefinites' exceptional quantificational and binding
scope properties—static and dynamic exceptional scope. I show how minimal dynamic …

The role of embodiment and simulation in evaluating HCI: theory and framework

J Pustejovsky, N Krishnaswamy - International Conference on Human …, 2021 - Springer
In this paper, we argue that embodiment can play an important role in the evaluation of

A wide-coverage symbolic natural language inference system

S Chatzikyriakidis, JP Bernardy - … of the 22nd nordic conference on …, 2019 - aclanthology.org
We present a system for Natural Language Inference which uses a dynamic semantics
converter from abstract syntax trees to Coq types. It combines the fine-grainedness of a …

Presupposition projection as a scope phenomenon

J Grove - Semantics and Pragmatics, 2022 - semprag.org
The satisfaction theory of presupposition projection found in Heim 1983 has paved the way
for a successful research tradition within dynamic semantics which has given rise to …

Embodied multimodal agents to bridge the understanding gap

N Krishnaswamy, N Alalyani - … of the First Workshop on Bridging …, 2021 - aclanthology.org
In this paper we argue that embodied multimodal agents, ie, avatars, can play an important
role in moving natural language processing toward “deep understanding.” Fully-featured …

Applied temporal analysis: A complete run of the fracas test suite

JP Bernardy, S Chatzikyriakidis - Proceedings of the 14th …, 2021 - aclanthology.org
In this paper, we propose an implementation of temporal semantics that translates syntax
trees to logical formulas, suitable for consumption by the Coq proof assistant. The analysis …
