4. 2. The History of Standard Negation in Semitic

   Author : Ambjörn Sjörs; Bo Isaksson; John Huehnergard; Geoffrey Khan; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; negation; Semitic; linguistics; grammaticalization; diachrony; comparative; Akkadian; Assyrian; Babylonian; Ugaritic; Biblical Hebrew; Arabic; Phoenician; Aramaic; Sabaic; Minaic; Jibbali; Tigre; Tigrinya; Amharic; Harari; Gurage; Semitic Languages; Semitiska språk;

   Abstract : This thesis provides a synchronic description of verbal negation in over fifteen Semitic languages and a historical assessment of these expressions. The objectives are to describe the expression of standard negation in these languages, to compare these negative clauses with their affirmative counterparts as well as  expressions of non-standard negation, and to relate historically the negative expressions of different languages.

5. 3. Computational Issues in Calculi of Partial Inductive Definitions

   Author : Per Kreuger; RISE; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theory of computation; algorithms; logic; proof-theory; partial inductive defi-nitions; definitional reflection; disunification; closure; completion; negation; constructive negation; quantification; logic programming; meta programming; quantification; skolemization; self-reference; program semantics; declarative control; proof-search; theorem-proving.;

   Abstract : We study the properties of a number of algorithms proposed to explore the computational space generated by a very simple and general idea: the notion of a mathematical definition and a number of suggested formal interpretations ofthis idea. Theories of partial inductive definitions (PID) constitute a class of logics based on the notion of an inductive definition. READ MORE

6. 4. Understanding Neural Machine Translation : An investigation into linguistic phenomena and attention mechanisms

   Author : Gongbo Tang; Joakim Nivre; Rico Sennrich; Philipp Koehn; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neural machine translation; Linguistic phenomena; Ambiguity; Long-range dependency; Morphology; Negation; Attention mechanisms; Interpretation; Computational Linguistics; Datorlingvistik;

   Abstract : In this thesis, I explore neural machine translation (NMT) models via targeted investigation of various linguistic phenomena and thorough exploration of the internal structure of NMT models, in particular the attention mechanism. With respect to linguistic phenomena, I explore the ability of NMT models to translate ambiguous words, to learn long-range dependencies, to learn morphology, and to translate negation—linguistic phenomena that have been challenging for the older paradigm of statistical machine translation.
