For example, the statement ªThe number two is blueº may be syntactically well formed, but at some level it is anomalous Ð BLUE is not a predicate that can be applied to numbers. According to the in¯uential theory of (Katz and Fodor, 1964), a predicate associates a set of de®ning features with each argument, expressed within a restricted semantic vocabulary. Despite the persistence of this theory, however, there is widespread agreement about its empirical shortcomings (McCawley, 1968; Fodor, 1977). As an alternative, some critics of the Katz-Fodor theory (e.g. (Johnson-Laird, 1983)) have abandoned the treatment of selectional constraints as semantic, instead treating them as indistinguishable from inferences made on the basis of factual knowledge.

    Obituary Aravind K. Joshi

    Obituary Aravind K. Joshi Bonnie Webber University of Edinburgh School of Informatics [email protected] It might surprise some young researchers that the first recipient of the ACL LifeTime Achievement award,1 Aravind Joshi, was so often compared to “Yoda,” one of the oldest and most powerful of the Jedi Masters in the Star Wars universe. But Aravind was also one of the kindest, wisest, and most justly celebrated people that one was fortunate to know. When Aravind received the award in 2002, at the age of 73, he said that he hoped his lifetime wasn’t over. Fortunately, it wasn’t: For the next 15 years, Aravind continued to enjoy time spent on research; advising students and younger colleagues; attending ACL conferences both at home in the United States and in far-flung places such as Sydney, Singapore, and Jeju Island; and enjoying the company of his extraordinary wife, the embryologist Susan Heyner, his daughters, Meera and Shyamala Joshi, and his grandchildren, Marco and Ava. Then on 31 December 2017, Aravind died peacefully at home in Philadelphia, sitting in his favorite chair, at the age of 88. Aravind Joshi was born in Pune, India, on 5 August, 1929. He sailed to the United States in 1954 to study electrical engineering (EE) at the University of Pennsylvania, after he was rejected by Harvard because his application, mailed from India, arrived a day late. While completing his M.Sc. in EE, he worked as an engineer at RCA (Camden, NJ), and then while completing his Ph.D. in EE, as a research assistant at the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania’s Department of Linguistics.

Research in the Language, Information and Computation Laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania Abstract This report takes its name from the Computational Linguistics Feedback Forum (CLiFF), an informal discussion group for students and faculty. However the scope of the research covered in this report is broader than the title might suggest; this is the yearly report of the LINC Lab, the Language, Information and Computation Laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania. It may at first be hard to see the threads that bind together the work presented here, work by faculty, graduate students and postdocs in the Computer Science and Linguistics Departments, and the Institute for Research in Cognitive Science. It includes prototypical Natural Language fields such as: Combinatorial Categorial Grammars, Tree Adjoining Grammars, syntactic parsing and the syntax-semantics interface; but it extends to statistical methods, plan inference, instruction understanding, intonation, causal reasoning, free word order languages, geometric reasoning, medical informatics, connectionism, and language acquisition.

    Prepared by First Year MCA Students Compiled by – Ms Niha Dingankar Assistant Professor and Dr Anita Chaware, Head PG Department Of Computer Science, SNDT WU National Technology Day is celebrated on 11 May across India. This day marks the successfully tested Shakti-I nuclear missile at the Indian Army’s Pokhran Test Range in Rajasthan. This day will be focusing on rebooting the economy through Science and Technology. Shakti also knows as the Pokhran Nuclear Test was the first nuclear test code-named ‘Smiling Buddha’ was carried out in May 1974. This operation was administered by late president and aerospace engineer Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Kalam when Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the Prime Minister. The students of Post Graduate Department Of Computer Science,SNDT University have prepared a list of Computer Scientists from Maharashtra and Orissa.
