Are you working on or familiar with intelligent scheduling approaches?
We are preparing a grant to do work in this area and need a bibliography
of the most substantive seminal and recent work.
If you have some references, or even just suggestions of where to go to
find the good work, please email and I will send you a copy of the
bibliography I come up with. If there is sufficient interest, I will
also post it to the net.
thanks very much!

In comp.ai.nlang-know-rep you write:
>Can anyone describe succinctly the distinction (if indeed there is one)
>between "model theoretic semantics" and "denotational semantics"?
>Or for that matter, between "denotation" and "extension", or between
>"intensional" and "extensional" verbs.
Briefly, the intuition behind extension/intension is that the
extension of a term is all the things it does refer to; its intension
is all the things it might refer to. When Montague get round to
desfining intension interrms of power sets of the extension life
becomes distinctly obscure.

Hello,
In relation to an overview article for a book on parallel models of
natural language computation, I would like to know a little more
about what the group around George Lakoff is doing w.r.t. the link
between cognitive linguistics and connectionism. I heard Lakoff in
Duisburg (April 1989), and found his ideas very interesting. At the
time, however, there was nothing on paper about the link between
imagery, connectionism, etc. Does anyone have any references, or does
anyone have Lakoff's e-mail address?
Thanks.

I am keen to know about good references, past/current projects and names of
people interested in the following topics :-
Word recognition and lexical access
- ----------------------------------
Word senses, word recognition and the processing of ambiguous words, including :
- experiments/investigations
- approaches/techniques
- lexical ambiguity
- models of recognition/disambiguation
(possibly components of larger natural language
understanding systems).
Also, any linguistic, psycholinguistic or computational issues related to
these areas.
Thanks in advance.

Speaker: Keith Stenning

Title: "One thing at a time!
Working memory and human reasoning style"
Time: Wednesday, August 23, 1989
3:30 PM
Place: Conference Room
Cordura Hall
ABSTRACT
Psychologists have generally taken questions about the relation
between classical logic and human reasoning to be questions whether
the logic of two systems is the same. An alternative is that
`externalised' classical calculi and `internalised' human reasoning
practices are different implementations of the same logical system.
This talk briefly describes an account of working memory for models
(Stenning Shepherd & Levy 1988, Stenning & Levy 1988) and explores its
implications the style of human syllogistic reasoning (see eg.
Johnson-Laird 1983).
