Fuzzy Language Models and Closed Domain Question Answering using Fuzzy Semantics
- đ¤ Speaker: Richard Bergmair, University of Cambridge
- đ Date & Time: Friday 10 November 2006, 12:00 - 13:00
- đ Venue: SW01 Computer Laboratory
Abstract
The talk is derived from Richard’s M.Phil. project, in wh he created a natural language database interface capable of matching vague expressions like “a small city near San Francisco” against a relational model. It will outline some ideas behind the us logic as a more adequate model of vagueness in natural language semantics. The talk will also provide an introduction to other people’s work on fuzzy language models such as fuzzy n-grams, fuzzy regular languages, and fuzzy context free languages, thus inviting wild speculation about the nature of truth and other equally unscientific endeavors.
Series This talk is part of the NLIP Seminar Series series.
