Dynamic semantics for metaphor
(2001)
An intensional logic with dynamic interpretation is presented in order to provide a formal
semantics for sense extension, lexical ambiguity and metaphoricity. Intensionality is
required in order to provide the right ...
The syntax of concealment: reliable methods for plain text information hiding
(2007)
Many plain text information hiding techniques demand deep semantic processing, and so suffer in reliability. In contrast,
syntactic processing is a more mature and reliable technology. Assuming a perfect parser, this paper ...
Statistically-constrained shallow text marking: techniques, evaluation paradigm and results
(International Society for Optical Engineering, 2007)
We present three natural language marking strategies based on fast and reliable shallow parsing techniques, and on widely
available lexical resources: lexical substitution, adjective conjunction swaps, and relativiser ...
Testing the Reliability of an Authorship Identification Method
(Trinity College Dublin, 2004)
Forensic linguists try to nd irregularities in language use, as irregularities provide
'signature' information that may withstand legal tests of certainty about,
for example, authorship identication. Irregularities ...
Group Dialects in an Online Community

Variations in group sub-languages evolve quickly and are a key marker of social boundaries such as those between professions, workgroups, tribes and families. In this paper we present a quantitative analysis of the effects ...

(2006)
This paper addresses nonlocal context effects in the
interpretation of ambiguous utterances in natural language.
We examine equivocation as a form of discourse
ambiguity and demonstrate that nonlocal contexts can

Comparing SpamAssassin with CBDF email filtering
(2004)
In this paper, we compare the email filtering
software SpamAssassin with a statistical
email filter, known as chi by degrees of freedom.
We examine SpamAssassin?s filtering techniques

A Logic Based Implementation of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar
(Elsevier, 1991)
Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), a unification-based formal language for
describing linguistic phenomena, has a declarative semantics which makes it amenable to
specification as a logic program. The HPSG ...
Spanish Psychological Predicates

N-gram Distributions in Texts as Proxy for Textual Fingerprints
(IOS Press, 2007)
Recent experiments using mainly character unigram distributions in authorship attribution tasks are discussed. Results so far indicate efficacy in similarity judgements seemingly good enough for `balance of probabilities' ...
