... Hi John, What kind of non-standard rules? Why is grammar so important? And... What is grammar anyway? Why is it so important? What is grammar of sign...
... Davor: As far as I can tell, and trying to be as general and practical as I can get away with, grammar is the statistical frequency of occurrence of...
... Really, all I'm doing is outlining how anyone writes mundane computer programs. If it sounds nice with some hifalutin language, so much the better. ... I...
... Oh, no, not at all. Even those who preach statistical approaches to natural language processing generally do so because they think there really is no such ...
... I don't understand what you are saying. There is such a thing as probabilistic grammar, and I am pretty sure it *is* a grammar, in fact CFG is just a...
... I suppose you can say that regular chess is just a subset of probabilistic chess. I suppose you could say arithmetic is just a subset of probablistic...
... I'll happily disagree with you Josh as probabilistic grammars are much better suited to formalization of natural language than you seem to think. The...
... So you 100% disagree. ... So then it's not *me* who disagree with 100%, but rather "those who preach statistical approaches" that you are speaking for,...
... Hi Josh, Since this sub-thread is actually about semantics vs. grammar and what comes first I'll give you an example with a couple of context-dependent ...
... I think that standard English grammar would require that to be: "Seattle is a wet city." That's grammar, and that's maybe all that grammar gives you. The...
... For recognition of verbal or written text, they may be *useful*. Heck, much of Google depends on such Baysian association, and it's *useful* to the tune of...
... As I've said you'll have to read a few papers to appreciate its use. And yes, it is *most definitely* a formalization. There is no doubt about that. You...
... I saw nothing new in the wiki article. I really think my disagreement is in principle, but that mainly the applications of this are outside of my domain of...
... Really, Josh, you would have to explain to me how a weighted CFG is not a formal grammar. Best, -- Eray Ozkural, PhD candidate. Comp. Sci. Dept., Bilkent...
... Anyway Davor; I think Josh and Eray have taken the discussion in a different direction than I (and hopefully you) intended. They seem to be arguing the...
... Let's see if we can untangle this. Back upthread http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ai-philosophy/message/14880 ... You can always produce an accurate a...
... Josh, nothing will ever help with either consciousness or intentionality. These are inherently subjective things. That doesn't mean they're non-physical...
... Disagree. ... Can't follow that at all. ... If it's incoherent then you're saying you can rule out at least parts. ... Have no phobia about it, just...
... Nice to know but what you suggest would be better? ... Which part has you puzzled? The fact that they are subjective? Or the part that they are physical...

... I doubt if you can find *any* scientists who reject causal explanations, because that wouldn't even be science. Even quantum physics is causal, on a...
... Remember when I said these are vary hard problems? Difficult to even talk about because the components are tightly related? This is the first of those...
... No, I haven't changed my position. I do believe that QM implies non-causal and I'm still not a fan of such things. But we can't ignore it either. ...
... OK. ... Fooey. My theory is that computation is exactly where you MUST ignore such things, where you DO ignore such things. If that limits computation,...

http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1763154 this is quite interesting. how do you think it happens? i think it's again best explained in a probabilistic...
