The paper investigates whether modestly sized open-source language models can grasp the semantics of rare Paired-Focus constructions, finding that understanding emerges later in training and correlate…

The paper proves equivalence between big-step and small-step derivations for Horn clauses and transforms Horn clauses into equivalent sets of clauses based on the given derivation strategy.

A middleware solution is proposed for unified semantic and syntactic interoperability in IoT publisher-subscriber framework, using syntax translation and semantic interoperability through a multilayer…

SEMBridge is a tagless-final framework that allows a single executable object program to generate multiple program semantics, including weakest-precondition and bounded-checking interpretations, ensur…

This paper introduces a new way to represent finite posets as subwords of finite words in categories, and characterizes the monic categories that admit this representation.

This paper introduces a Hybrid Mixture-of-Experts (HybridMoE) framework and a specialized corpus (Varnika) to significantly improve language models' ability to understand and retain figurative, cultur…

The paper introduces ACROS, a method that induces an explicit sense representation pathway into a frozen pretrained decoder LM, enabling sense-based tasks like disambiguation and cross-lingual alignme…

The paper introduces Abstract Worlds Semantics (AWS), a set-theoretic framework that treats worlds as primitive elements to provide a unified and generalized analysis of various belief change models.

This paper proposes a framework for compositional semantic communication (CSC) in physical AI systems, enabling heterogeneous devices to transmit semantic representations that compose meaningfully at…

This paper challenges the claim that neural networks have met the challenge of systematicity in language and thought as proposed by Fodor and Pylyshyn, demonstrating limitations in a recent neural net…

This paper introduces PolSeT, a Polish psychoacoustic and Music Information Retrieval dataset with 1901 descriptors and 18 instrument sound ratings.

The paper introduces MIDI, a novel multilingual dataset that embeds idioms in realistic sentence and conversational contexts across diverse resource levels, revealing that idiom comprehension is signi…

The paper evaluates the semantic stability of clinical LLMs to linguistic variations, finding that domain specialization does not guarantee consistent robustness improvements.

This paper introduces Semantic Reference Frames (SemRF), an anchor-based formalism for separating semantic measurement from residual dynamics in language model computation.

The study compares agentic data retrieval using unstructured web data versus structured, semantically-annotated datasets, concluding that semantic metadata remains essential for high-precision, reliab…

This paper introduces a fuzzy-logic-based qualitative extension of Answer Set Programming (ASP) to integrate numerical information and qualitative reasoning.

The paper develops a theoretically grounded framework for evaluating multilingual LLMs in Social Sciences and Humanities, moving beyond traditional NLP benchmarks to assess interpretive validity and c…

mcp-proto-okn is a Python server that facilitates natural language access to complex scientific knowledge graphs, simplifying cross-domain knowledge analysis for biomedical research.
