   Abstract : The subject matter of this thesis is the question of whether a plausible and informative account of introspection can be advanced given that mental states are representations of external affairs. The first part of the thesis presents a general overview of theories of introspection by describing how philosophers have accounted for, in turn; the object of introspection, the epistemic status of introspective beliefs, and the introspective process as such.

   Abstract : The discourse on Norrland (literally ‘North land’ in English) as essentially ‘different’ has been(re)produced in literature, politics and science for as long as the idea of ‘Norrland’ has existed. Thus,when investigating the discourse that constructs the identity of Norrland in opposition to a Swedishnational identity, it is important to connect these representations to their contemporary (andchanging) political-economic contexts.

6. 4. Indoor Navigation for Mobile Robots : Control and Representations

   Author : Philipp Althaus; KTH; []
   Keywords : mobile robots; robot navigation; indoor navigation; behaviour based robotics; hybrid deliberative systems; dynamical systems approach; topological maps; symbol anchoring; autonomous mapping; human-robot interaction;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with various aspects of indoor navigationfor mobile robots. For a system that moves around in ahousehold or office environment,two major problems must betackled. First, an appropriate control scheme has to bedesigned in order to navigate the platform. Second, the form ofrepresentations of the environment must be chosen. READ MORE

7. 5. Splitting rocks: Learning word sense representations from corpora and lexica

   Author : Luis Nieto Piña; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; language technology; natural language processing; distributional models; semantic representations; distributed representations; word senses; embeddings; word sense disambiguation; linguistic resources; corpus; lexicon; machine learning; neural networks;

   Abstract : The representation of written language semantics is a central problem of language technology and a crucial component of many natural language processing applications, from part-of-speech tagging to text summarization. These representations of linguistic units, such as words or sentences, allow computer applications that work with language to process and manipulate the meaning of text. READ MORE
