For the machine, the meaning of a (human) utterance is defined by its own scope of actions. Machines, thus, do not need to understand the conventional meaning of an utterance. Rather, they draw conversational implicatures in the sense of (neo-)Gricean pragmatics. For speech assistive devices, the learning of machine-specific meanings of human utterances, i.e. the fossilization of conversational implicatures into conventionalized ones by trial and error through lexicalization appears to be sufficient. Using the quite trivial example of a cognitive heating | device, we show that — based on dynamic semantics — this process can be formalized as the reinforcement learning of utterance-meaning pairs (UMP).}, language = {en} } @misc{RoemerbeimGrabenHuberLiebletal., author = {R{\"o}mer, Ronald and beim Graben, Peter and Huber-Liebl, Markus and Wolff, Matthias}, title = {(Pre-)linguistic Problem Solving based on Dynamic Semantics}, series = {14th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications - CogInfoCom 2023, September 22-23, Budapest, Hungary}, journal = {14th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications - CogInfoCom 2023, September 22-23, Budapest, Hungary}, isbn = {979-8-3503-2565-2}, issn = {2473-5671}, doi = {10.1109/CogInfoCom59411.2023.10397487}, pages = {147 -- 152}, language = {en} } @misc{MaierKuhnBeisegeletal., author = {Maier, Isidor Konrad and Kuhn, Johannes and Beisegel, Jesse and Huber-Liebl, Markus and Wolff, Matthias}, title = {Minimalist Grammar: Construction without Overgeneration}, series = {arXiv}, journal = {arXiv}, doi = {10.48550/arXiv.2311.01820}, pages = {51}, abstract = {In this paper we give instructions on how to write a minimalist grammar (MG). In order to present the instructions as an algorithm, we use a variant of context free grammars (CFG) as an input format. We can exclude overgeneration, if the CFG has no recursion, i.e. no non-terminal can (indirectly) derive to a right-hand side containing itself. The constructed MGs utilize licensors/-ees as a special way of exception handling. A CFG format for a derivation A_eats_B↦∗peter_eats_apples, where A and B generate noun phrases, normally leads to overgeneration, e.\,g., i_eats_apples. In order to avoid overgeneration, a CFG would need many non-terminal symbols and rules, that mainly produce the same word, just to handle exceptions. In our MGs however, we can summarize CFG rules that produce the same word in one item and handle exceptions by a proper distribution of licensees/-ors. The difficulty with this technique is that in most generations the majority of licensees/-ors is not needed, but still has to be triggered somehow. We solve this problem with ϵ-items called \emph{adapters}.}, language = {en} } @misc{HuberLieblWirsching, author = {Huber-Liebl, Markus and Wirsching, G{\"u}nther}, title = {Ein quantenlogisch motivierter Ansatz zur Verarbeitung von {\"A}ußerungs-Bedeutungspaaren}, series = {Elektronische Sprachsignalverarbeitung, Tagungsband der 35.

They allow the representation of knowledge, enable predictions, and serve to plan goal-directed actions. However, the successfull use of models requires a certain level of competence in interacting with models. This competence can be acquired by exploiting the separation of the cognitive agent from the objects represented in the model; because it allows the differentiation of individual semiotic levels. This includes the separation of self-sufficient and non self-sufficient object attributes. Non self-sufficient attributes that the agent assigned to potential target objects during the exploration phase form the starting point for the information requirement regarding the self-sufficient attributes of these objects. These attributes are required for target selection and the subsequent alignment of the model-based planning. This process is characterized by a series of queries to the environment model and thus shows a certain similarity to information retrieval (IR). Therefore, in this work we particularly investigate quantum-inspired IR-methods for representation and querying. We demonstrate that they are suitable for modelling cognitive effort and behavior, as they represent a realistic and universally applicable descriptive tool.}, language = {en} } @misc{HuberLieblRosenowRoemeretal., author = {Huber-Liebl, Markus and Rosenow, Tillmann and R{\"o}mer, Ronald and Wirsching, G{\"u}nther and Wolff, Matthias}, title = {Knowledge representation and querying with tensors for a class of practical test problems}, series = {Refereed Paper Proceedings - KM Conference 2025 - Siena, Italy}, journal = {Refereed Paper Proceedings - KM Conference 2025 - Siena, Italy}, publisher = {International Institute for Applied Knowledge Management}, pages = {111 -- 123}, abstract = {We further promote the idea of quantum inspiration and propose to equip cognitive systems not only with tensors for data representation but also for operation representation and querying.
