Communicating Semantics: Reference by Description
Messages often refer to entities such as people, places and events. Correct identification of the intended reference is an essential part of communication. Lack of shared unique names often complicates entity reference. Shared knowledge can be used to construct uniquely identifying descriptive references for entities with ambiguous names. We introduce a mathematical model for `Reference by Description', derive results on the conditions under which, with high probability, programs can construct unambiguous references to most entities in the domain of discourse and provide empirical validation of these results.

Communicating and resolving entity references
Statements about entities occur everywhere, from newspapers and web pages to structured databases. Correlating references to entities across systems that use different identifiers or names for them is a widespread proble…
A Model-Theoretic Approach to Modular Implementation, with Application to Biological Systems
We present a method for logical specification of the behavior of a system based on the specification of its components and for representing and specifying the effect of a class of communication "signaling pathways" among…
An ASP approach for reasoning in a concept-aware multipreferential lightweight DL
In this paper we develop a concept aware multi-preferential semantics for dealing with typicality in description logics, where preferences are associated with concepts, starting from a collection of ranked TBoxes contain…

Weighted defeasible knowledge bases and a multipreference semantics for a deep neural network model
In this paper we investigate the relationships between a multipreferential semantics for defeasible reasoning in knowledge representation and a deep neural network model. Weighted knowledge bases for description logics a…
