In this paper, we consider combining the ideas of forbidden random context grammars as well as of ordered grammars with cooperating distributed grammar systems (CDGS). We focus on investigating their generative capacities. Both ideas can be…
Motivated by the need for accelerating text entry in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) for people with severe motor impairments, we propose a paradigm in which phrases are abbreviated aggressively as primarily word-initial…
Matrix grammars are one of the first approaches ever proposed in regulated rewriting, prescribing that rules have to be applied in a certain order. Originally, they have been introduced by \'Abrah\'am on linguistic grounds. In traditional…
State grammars are context-free grammars where the productions have states associated with them, and a production can only be applied to a nonterminal if the current state matches the state in the production. Once states are added to…
Classic grammars and regular expressions can be used for a variety of purposes, including parsing, intent detection, and matching. However, the comparisons are performed at a structural level, with constituent elements (words or characters)…
Gradual semantics with abstract argumentation provide each argument with a score reflecting its acceptability, i.e. how "much" it is attacked by other arguments. Many different gradual semantics have been proposed in the literature, each…
One of the most popular methods for context-aware machine translation (MT) is to use separate encoders for the source sentence and context as multiple sources for one target sentence. Recent work has cast doubt on whether these models…
We describe a matrix multiplication recognition algorithm for a subset of binary linear context-free rewriting systems (LCFRS) with running time $O(n^{\omega d})$ where $M(m) = O(m^{\omega})$ is the running time for $m \times m$ matrix…
Models for question answering, dialogue agents, and summarization often interpret the meaning of a sentence in a rich context and use that meaning in a new context. Taking excerpts of text can be problematic, as key pieces may not be…
We develop a theory of rewriting for structured cospans in order to extend compositional methods for modeling open networks. First, we introduce a category whose objects are structured cospans, and establish conditions under which it is…
Context modeling has a pivotal role in open domain conversation. Existing works either use heuristic methods or jointly learn context modeling and response generation with an encoder-decoder framework. This paper proposes an explicit…
The article suggests a description of a system of tables with a set of special lists absorbing a semantics of data and reflects a fullness of data. It shows how their parallel processing can be constructed based on the descriptions. The…
A classical theorem states that the set of languages given by a pushdown automaton coincides with the set of languages given by a context-free grammar. In previous work, we proved the pendant of this theorem in a setting with interaction:…
This paper introduces context algebras and demonstrates their application to combining logical and vector-based representations of meaning. Other approaches to this problem attempt to reproduce aspects of logical semantics within new…
Context-aware machine translation models are designed to leverage contextual information, but often fail to do so. As a result, they inaccurately disambiguate pronouns and polysemous words that require context for resolution. In this paper,…
The paper describes a parser of sequences of (English) part-of-speech labels which utilises a probabilistic grammar trained using the inside-outside algorithm. The initial (meta)grammar is defined by a linguist and further rules compatible…
The context transformation and generalized context transformation methods, we introduced recently, were able to reduce zero order entropy by exchanging digrams, and as a consequence, they were removing mutual information between consecutive…
Previous works have shown that contextual information can improve the performance of neural machine translation (NMT). However, most existing document-level NMT methods only consider a few number of previous sentences. How to make use of…
In this paper, the formal derivative operator defined with respect to context-free grammars is used to prove some properties about binomial coefficients and multifactorial numbers. In addition, we extend the formal derivative operator to…
To study quantum computation, it might be helpful to generalize structures from language and automata theory to the quantum case. To that end, we propose quantum versions of finite-state and push-down automata, and regular and context-free…
