His Master's Toys

“All is but toys: renown, and grace, is dead; The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees Is left this vault to brag of” --- William Shakespeare

FrameNet

From the project website:


The Berkeley FrameNet project is creating an on-line lexical resource for English, based on frame semantics and supported by corpus evidence. The aim is to document the range of semantic and syntactic combinatory possibilities (valences) of each word in each of its senses, through computer-assisted annotation of example sentences and automatic tabulation and display of the annotation results. The major product of this work, the FrameNet lexical database, currently contains more than 8,900 lexical units (defined below), more than 6,100 of which are fully annotated, in more than 625 semantic frames, exemplified in more than 135,000 annotated sentences.

Computational lexicography and semantics has been a long standing challenge in NLP, and one of the major hurdles in natural language understanding. An interesting paper which charts out the history of frame semantics can be found here (Frame Semantics, Miriam R. L. Petruck).

True and complete language understanding will remain out of reach for sometime, as OBJET PETIT M wrote in an email:


What is a bit problematic here is “pairing word with a meaning” that
is constitutive of a lexical unit (LU) and its constitutive Frame
Elements (FEs) etc. To do this we have to establish a clear-cut
connection between when something makes sense and when something does
not – its dialectical opposite: non-sense.

So a word such as BEER must lead to GETTING DRUNK (or whatever would
be ‘evoked’ by the word because of its ‘range of semantic and
syntactic combinatory possibilities (valences) of each word in each of
its senses.’ However, the problem here comes when we say for example
BEER leads to SEEING PURPLE BUTTERFLIES CRACKING ON A FRYING PAN LIKE
POPCORN.’ Are we not stretching the level ‘ of semantic and syntactic
combinatory possibilities’ towards the level of non-sense, madness.
And in such a case who gets to decide the bondary between sense and
non-sense, between meaning and insanity?

But … then again, is not the beauty and richness of language – and
consciousness in general – exactly in its infinite possibility of
semantic and syntatic combinatory possibilities that transverse the
universe at the speed of thought. Is not most creative literature and
poetry written in the bifurcating boundary between (the artifical
division of) sense and non-sense? And is not limiting them down to
‘accepted’ semantic possibilities merely reproducting/repeting
tradition?

Deleuze says in the ‘Logic of Sense’:

The play on words would be to say that nonsense has a sense, the sense
being precisely that it doesn’t have any. This is not our hypothesis
at all. When we assume that nonsense says its own sense, we wish to
indicate, on the contrary, that sense and nonsense have a specific
relation that can not copy that of the true and the false, that is,
which can not be conceived simply on the basis of a relation of
exclusion. This is indeed the most general problem of the logic of
sense: what would be the purpose of rising from the domain of truth to
the domain of sense, if it were only to find between sense and
nonsense a relation analogous to that of the true and false? …The
logic of sense is necessarily determined to posit between sense and
nonsense an original type of intrinsic relation, a mode of
co-presence. For the time being, we may only hint at this mode by
dealing with nonsense as a word which says its own sense. (Deleuze,
1990, p.68)

Now, how then would we create an algorythm that defines ‘co-presence’
is the interesting question I think!

    ===============
    “BREAKING NEWS”
    ===============

    -Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
    the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
    REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.

    These newly enhanced Global Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth before they can
    be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for lumber is 30-50 years.

    Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number of other benefits.
    Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and the lack of oils and sap found in the wood
    make it resistant to forest fire, ensuring higher returns on investments.

    the wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
    as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
    the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
    time to replant and develop new root systems.

    Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140 Million
    with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With anticipated
    growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during its initial 9-year cycle.

    Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153 Million in revenues.
    As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree continues to grow around the world
    EGTY believes additional multi-million dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
    about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of 250,000 infant plants per month.

    Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business owners in New Zealand,
    Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular and profitable fast growing infant tree plants.
    Inquiries from the governments of Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.

    The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little
    known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens.
