Computing Science Seminar. Pérez on "When History Matters - Assessing Reliability for the Reuse of Scientific Workflows"
-Abstract: Scientific workflows play an important role in computational research, as the essential artifacts for communicating the methods used to produce the research findings. We are witnessing a growing number of efforts of treating workflows as first-class artifacts for sharing and exchanging scientific knowledge, either as part of scholarly articles or...

Prof. Shieber, Distinguished Visiting Fellow, Survey: Synchronous grammar applications in language processing
-Abstract: Concluding the series on synchronous grammars, I describe how synchronous grammars, and in particular probabilistic versions, can be applied to a variety of natural-language processing problems such as generation, machine translation, and sentence compression. Bio: Stuart Shieber is a Professor of Computer Science at Harvard University. His primary research field is computational...

Prof. Shieber, Distinguished Visiting Fellow, Seminar: What's so great about compositionality?
-Abstract: Compositionality is the tenet that the meaning of an expression is determined by the meanings of its immediate parts along with their method of combination. The semantics of artificial languages (such as programming languages or logics) are uniformly given compositionally, so that the notion doesn’t even arise in that literature....

Prof. Shieber, Distinguished Visiting Fellow, Tutorial: Synchronous Grammars Introduced
-Abstract: Just as grammars are formal models of languages, synchronous grammars are formal models of relations between languages. They have applications in natural-language interpretation and generation, machine translation, sentence compression, and other areas. I will introduce and motivate the design of synchronous grammars, showing how a particular base grammar formalism, tree-adjoining...
