Theory of computation

Computational semiotics

Computational semiotics is an interdisciplinary field that applies, conducts, and draws on research in logic, mathematics, the theory and practice of computation, formal and natural language studies, the cognitive sciences generally, and semiotics proper. The term encompasses both the application of semiotics to computer hardware and software design and, conversely, the use of computation for performing semiotic analysis. The former focuses on what semiotics can bring to computation; the latter on what computation can bring to semiotics. (Wikipedia).

Logic: The Structure of Reason

As a tool for characterizing rational thought, logic cuts across many philosophical disciplines and lies at the core of mathematics and computer science. Drawing on Aristotle’s Organon, Russell’s Principia Mathematica, and other central works, this program tracks the evolution of logic, be

Computational Linguistics, by Lucas Freitas

As computers become more and more present in our lives, making our interactions with them more intuitive and natural is essential. Computational linguistics refers to the field of computer science that uses computer science to do interesting things with natural language. Examples of large

Ruby Midwest 2013 DCI: semiotics applied to software by Jaime Andrés Dávila

Formally, semiotics is the study of signs: how do they relate?, how do they structure meaning?, what rules do they follow? All these questions are important to understand how humans communicate and how we interpret the world around us, so it's no wonder that semiotics are related to the pr

8. Semiotics and Structuralism

Introduction to Theory of Literature (ENGL 300) In this lecture, Professor Paul Fry explores the semiotics movement through the work of its founding theorist, Ferdinand de Saussure. The relationship of semiotics to hermeneutics, New Criticism, and Russian formalism is considered. Key se

William Gibson: The Gernsback Continuum - Semiotic Ghosts - Extra Sci Fi - #8

Ways that we dream about the world sometimes create a shared vision that we start to believe is real. When William Gibson first explored these "semiotic ghosts" of a pristine American future in the Gernsback Continuum, he showed how these visions of modern technology can separate us from o

Are Scientific Models Fictions? Model-Based Science as Epistemic Warfare, Lorenzo Magnani

In the current epistemological debate, scientific models are not only considered as useful devices for explaining facts or discovering new entities, laws, and theories.  They are also rubricated under various new labels:  from the classical ones, as abstract entities and idealizations, to

Abstract: One of the many contributions of Kostant is a rare gem which probably has not been sufficiently explored: a sheaf-theoretical model for geometric quantization associated to real polarizations. Kostant’s model works very well for polarizations given by fibrations or fibration-like
