Computing Science Post-Graduate Research Workshop
-Presentations by Computing Science postgraduates about their research.
-
Computing Science Seminar. Prof. van Deemter on "Computational Models of Referring: some Aberdonian themes"
-Abstract: In this talk I will, firstly, review the state of the art of Referring Expressions Generation, viewed as computational models of human reference production. I will ask how successful existing algorithms are from this theoretical perspective, and discuss some recent improvements, for instance relating to the modelling of variation between...

Computing Science Seminar. Booth on "Trust-sensitive belief revision"
-Abstract: Belief revision is concerned with incorporating new information into a pre-existing set of beliefs. When the new information comes from another agent, we must first determine if that agent should be trusted. In this talk, we define trust as a pre-processing step before revision. We emphasise that trust in an...

Computing Science Seminar. Thomas on "Users versus models: What observation tells us about effectiveness metrics"
-Abstract: Retrieval system effectiveness can be measured in two quite different ways: by monitoring the behaviour of users and gathering data about the ease and accuracy with which they accomplish certain specified information-seeking tasks; or by using numeric effectiveness metrics to score system runs in reference to a set of relevance...

Computing Science Seminar. Caminada on "A Discussion Game for Grounded Semantics"
-Abstract: We present a discussion game, based on the concept of strong admissibility, where the ability to win the game for a particular argument coincides with the argument being in the grounded extension. Our game is an improvement to the previously stated Standard Grounded Game (SGG) and Grounded Persuasion Game...
