Refinement semantics is an alternative to least fixpoint semantics that is more useful for programming. From it we derive a variety of rules for w h i l e-loops, for-loops, and loo...
Comparative expressions (CEs) such as "bigger than" and "more oranges than" are highly ambiguous, and their meaning is context dependent. Thus, they pose probl...
This paper reports some experiments that compare the accuracy and performance of two stochastic parsing systems. The currently popular Collins parser is a shallow parser whose out...

Conceptual vectors can be used to represent thematic aspects of text segments, which allow for the computation of semantic relatedness. We study the behavior of conceptual vectors ...
In this paper, we address the issue of syntagmatic expressions from a computational lexical semantic perspective. From a representational viewpoint, we argue for a hybrid approach...
