How can computers distinguish the coherent from the unintelligible, recognize new information in a sentence, or draw inferences from a natural language passage? Computational semantics is an exciting new field that seeks answers to these questions, and this volume is the first textbook wholly devoted to this growing subdiscipline. The book explains the underlying theoretical issues and fundamental techniques for computing semantic representations for fragments of natural language. This volume will be an essential text for computer scientists, linguists, and anyone interested in the...

Whetheryouareacomputerscientist, alogician, aphilosopher, orapsychologist, it is crucial to understand the role that context and contextual information plays in reasoning and representation. The conference at which the papers in this volume were presented was the fourth in an international series devoted to research on context, and was held in Stanford (USA) on June 23-25, 2003. The ?rst conference in the series was held in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in 1997, the second was held in Trento (Italy) in 1999, and the third was held in Dundee (Scotland, UK) in 2001. CONTEXT2003 brought together...

Cupid Missed is the story of a breakup, told from a man's perspective. Matthew is crushed when he returns home from work one night to find that his girlfriend, Kate, has moved out.

When he's not concocting far-fetched schemes to get Kate back, Matthew is making terrible decisions at home and at work. He realizes the need to make changes in his life, but it seems he's more interested in doing things that only prolong the...

O Prolog e uma linguagem de programacao, mas uma linguagem pouco usual. A designacao "Prolog'' e abreviatura de "Programming with Logic'' e a relacao com a logica e o que da ao Prolog o seu perfil especial. No seu amago esta uma ideia surpreendente: nao dizer ao computador o que fazer. Em vez disso, descrevem-se as situacoes relevantes e a computacao e efetuada quando se fazem perguntas. O Prolog deduz novos factos acerca das situacoes descritas e devolve essas deducoes como respostas. Porque aprender Prolog? Em primeiro lugar, a sua divisa "dizer qual e o problema em vez de dizer como o...
