A minimum message length approach for argument interpretation
2002
Proceedings of the 3rd SIGdial workshop on Discourse and dialogue -
Preserved Fulltext
Our mechanism relies on the Minimum Message Length Principle for the selection of an interpretation among candidate options. ...
We describe a mechanism which receives as input a segmented argument composed of NL sentences, and generates an interpretation. ...
We present a mechanism for the interpretation of NL arguments which is based on the application of the Minimum Message Length (MML) Principle for the evaluation of candidate interpreta-tions (Wallace ...

We describe an argument-interpretation mechanism based on the Minimum Message Length Principle [1], and investigate the incorporation of a model of the user's beliefs into this mechanism. ...
This interpretation may differ from the user's argument in its structure and in its beliefs in the argument propositions. ...
The basic discourse-interpretation mechanism relies on the Minimum Message Length (MML) Principle [1] to evaluate candidate discourse interpretations [4] . ...

We present theoretical arguments and empirical evidence for compressibility, and discuss the matter in the framework of Minimum Message Length (MML) inference, which shows that the theory which best compresses ...
Yet in our work we compress empirical data all the time, using Wallace's Minimum Message Length principle to choose the best explanation of the data. ...
The Minimum Message Length principle Minimum Message Length encoding shares some of the central insights of algorithmic information theory, but adds to them techniques from optimal coding theory. ...

However, this flexibility has its price: As the R interpreter has no information about the expected variable type, many base functions automatically convert the input instead of raising an exception. ...

This was achieved by adopting a physical definition of complexity, wherein program length was interpreted as physical length. ...
