• Representation matters in cyclic proof theory 

  Wehr, Dominik (2023-04)

  Cyclic proof systems allowderivations whose underlying structure is a finite graph, rather than a well-founded tree. The soundness of cyclic proofs is usually ensured by imposing additional conditions beyond well-formedness. ...

• Modelling the logical mind - Using the cognitive architecture ACT-R to model human symbolic reasoning in the description logic 𝒜ℒℰ 

  Fokkens Jelle, Tjeerd (2023)

  The problem of optimising automated explanations for entailments in knowledge bases is tackled by modelling deductive reasoning processes using the cognitive architecture ACT-R. This results in the model SHARP which ...

• Peerage and Judgment: How transdisciplinary collaborations recognize contributions without a consensus of meaning 

  Lundgren, Jakob (2022-12-07)

  This thesis concerns judgments of quality and belonging in transdisciplinary research (TD). TD includes academics from various disciplines and is open to participation from non-academics. It typically aims to address ...

• Weapons of Mass Destruction: Financial Crises from a Philosophical Perspective 

  Endörfer, Richard (2022-11-09)

  Financial crises are severely destructive events. The Global Financial Crisis of 2008 sent sovereign states into a spiral of political unrest and caused millions of people to lose their homes, their jobs, their life savings, ...

• Proceedings of the 2022 CLASP Conference on (Dis)embodiment

  Dis)embodiment brings together researchers from several areas examining the role of grounding and embodiment in modelling human language and behaviour – or limits thereof. The conference covers areas such as machine learning, ...

• Who is laughing now? Laughter-infused dialogue systems 

  Maraev, Vladislav (2022-08-16)

  This thesis paves the way for including laughter in spoken dialogue systems in a domain-general and linguistically valid way using computational linguistics tools and methods. The thesis is concerned with three main ...

• Distributional semantics for situated spatial language? Functional, geometric and perceptual perspectives 

  Kelleher, John D.; Dobnik, Simon (CSLI Publications, 2022)

  Distributional semantics has been at the core of recent developments in deep learning work for natural language processing. This distributional semantics plus neural processing paradigm has resulted in significant improvements ...

• Confluence and Divergence of Emancipatory Healthcare Ideals and Psychiatric Contextual Challenges 

  El-Alti, Leila (2022-05-09)

  Person-centered care (PCC) is generally understood to involve shaping healthcare processes, decisions, and plans according to the individual values, preferences, or goals of each patient. This is in contrast to more ...

• Resources and Applications for Dialectal Arabic: the Case of Levantine 

  Qwaider, Chatrine; Abu Kwaik, Kathrein (2022-05-03)

• Giving Executives Their Due: Just Pay, Desert, and Equality 

  Andersson, Alexander (2021-11-19)

  Before, during, and after the global financial crisis of 2008, executive pay practices were widely debated and criticized. Economists, philosophers, as well as the man on the street all seem to have strong feelings towards ...

• Explorations of the Relationship Between the right to Make Decisions and Moral Responsibility in Healthcare 

  Hartvigsson, Thomas (2020-11-18)

  People intuitively think that there is a strong connection between having a right to make decisions and to be morally responsible for those decisions. This thesis explores the relationship between these notions in the ...

• Medvetandet och kroppen. Psykiatriska och filosofiska perspektiv 

  Malmgren, Helge (Göteborgs universitet, 2020)

  Presentationen börjar och slutar i temat drömmar. Däremellan behandlas hypnagoga hallucinationer, utomkroppsliga upplevelser, begreppen yttervärld och omvärld, kunskapen om kroppens inre, begreppet kroppsschema, samt ...

• Natural Language Processing for Low-resourced Code-switched Colloquial Languages – The Case of Algerian Language 

  Adouane, Wafia (2020-06-09)

  In this thesis we explore to what extent deep neural networks (DNNs), trained end-to-end, can be used to perform natural language processing tasks for code-switched colloquial languages lacking both large automated data ...

• Why the pond is not outside the frog? Grounding in contextual representations by neural language models 

  Ghanimifard, Mehdi (2020-05-05)

  In this thesis, to build a multi-modal system for language generation and understanding, we study grounded neural language models. Literature in psychology informs us that spatial cognition involves different aspects of ...

• Inlärning och minne i neurala nätverk 

  Malmgren, Helge (Författaren, 2020)

• CLASP Papers in Computational Linguistics
