  • When Distributional Semantics Meets Logic Programming
    Semantics at Scale: When Distributional Semantics meets Logic Programming Andr´eFreitas1, Jo˜ao C. Pereira da Silva2 1 Insight Centre for Data Analytics National University of Ireland, Galway 2 Computer Science Department Federal University of Rio de Janeiro Abstract. Distributional semantic models (DSMs) are semantic models which are automatically built from co-occurrence patterns in unstruc- tured text. These semantic models trade representation structure for volume of semantic and commonsense knowledge, and provide effective large-scale semantic models which can be used to complement logical knowledge bases. DSMs can be used to inject large scale commonsense knowledge into logical knowledge bases (KBs), supporting semantic ap- proximations between queries and KBs and approximative reasoning over incomplete knowledge bases. This article provides an informal overview of distributional semantic models and their applications to logic pro- gramming, defining the basic steps on how you can build your first distributional-logic program. 1 On querying and commonsense knowledge Suppose we want to query a knowledge base KB created by a third party. In general we may have an idea on the type of content present in the dataset, but we may not know exactly which terms are used to describe constants and predicates. Suppose we decide to try our luck and we issue the following query over the KB (‘Is the father-in-law of the daughter of Bill Clinton a politician?’): ? − daughter of (X ,bill clinton), politician(Y ), father in law(Y , X ). The KB contains the following facts and rules: child of(chelsea clinton,bill clinton). child of(marc mezvinsky,edward mezvinsky).

    Bill Clinton: The President whose tenure witnessed immense economic expansion Bill Clinton who got elected as the 42nd President of the United States of America in 1992 and became the third youngest President in the history of America. Theodore Roosevelt who became the President in 1901 after the assassination of the then President, William McKinley remains the youngest President to occupy office at the age of 42 years. William Mckinley was the the 25th President of America elected in 1896 Presidential election. He was Republican. McKinley was born on 29 January 1843 in the city of Niles located in northeastern part of the state of Ohio. One of the important events during the time of President McKinley was the Spanish-American War of 1898. In this war America defeated Spain and gained the terrories of Puerto Rico (island in the northeastern Caribbean Sea), Guam (island in the north Pacific Ocean) and Philippines (an archipelago in the western Pacific Ocean). McKinley won the first term of Presidency in 1896, during this election his Running Mate was Garret Augustus Hobart. Before named as the Vice Presidential candidate of McKinley, Garret Hobart was elected to the General Assembly as well as the Senate of New Jersey state. He served as the Vice President of America between 4 March 1897 to 21 November 1899. He died on 21 November 1899. In 1900 elections, McKinley again wanted to have Hobart as his Running Mate but his death made him to choose (rather Republican Party chose) Theodore Roosevelt, the incumbent Governor of New York state as his Vice Presidential candidate.

    Annual Report 2010 - 2011 ABOUT THE BERKLEY CENTER The Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University, created within the Office of the President in 2006, is dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of religion, ethics, and public life. Through research, teaching, and service, the Center explores global challenges of democracy and human rights; economic and social development; international diplomacy; and interreligious understanding. Two premises guide the Center’s work: that a deep examination of faith and values is critical to address these challenges, and that the open engagement of religious and cultural traditions with one another can promote peace. The rapid growth of the Center has been made possible through the generosity of William R. Berkley, a member of the University Board of Directors, and other members of the Georgetown community. “The Berkley Center is critical to Georgetown’s efforts to advance dialogue and understanding across the world’s countries, cultures, and religious traditions.” Dr. John J.

    THE SHIFTING BOUNDARIES OF RELIGIOUS PLURALISM IN AMERICA THROUGH THE LENS OF INTERFAITH MARRIAGE A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theological and Religious Studies By Erika B. Seamon, M.A. Washington, D.C. March 22, 2011 Copyright © 2011 Erika B. Seamon All rights reserved ii THE SHIFTING BOUNDARIES OF RELIGIOUS PLURALISM IN AMERICA THROUGH THE LENS OF INTERFAITH MARRIAGE Erika B. Seamon, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Chester Gillis, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation explores interfaith relationships and the nexus of personal and communal religious identity in the United States. The thesis is that religious intermarriage is both a reflective and a predictive material representation of the continual movement and redefinition of the boundaries of religious traditions and the boundaries of the religious and secular. Part I chronicles key historical events that contributed to the slow erosion of theological, legal, and social barriers to intermarriage among Catholics, Protestants, and Jews. As authority over religion and marriage moved from church to state to society, an era of ‗intra-religious‘ marriage became one of ‗interreligious‘ marriage by the mid-twentieth century. Part II investigates the characteristics of contemporary intermarriages, based upon qualitative research in the form of in-depth interviews with 43 individuals in Christian- Jewish, Christian-Muslim, Christian-Hindu, or Christian-Buddhist marriages. Contrary to the opinions of some prominent voices in religious communities, these contemporary intermarriages are not simply forms of syncretism or secularism; they are much more complex.

In all fairness to Iowans, he didn't do anything wrong while a congressman. That came later when he was in Pennsylvania. Later, he was prosecuted for soliciting cash for fraudulent pyramid schemes in the 1980s. He collected millions of dollars for business deals that never materialized, including an oil deal, a coin trading company, and efforts to sell bracelets in Africa.
