#semantics — Public Fediverse posts

RE: https://social.lol/@db/117075430558062340

I consider the job of a #CMS as outputting content only - not code. When I build in #WordPress I don't allow it to output any #HTML or #CSS - everything is written by my hand.

It's why I prefer doing a hybrid builder approach - giving the client enough freedom to build their own pages, but controlling the output and locking in the design.

I have a whole write-up on this process at https://amberweinberg.com/building-modular-themes-with-acf-flexible-content-instead-of-buggy-builder-frameworks/ if anyone's interested in learning more.

Ok, I was fully prepared for this to be completely made up...and yet... it is true.

Fritz #Zwicky really did coin the phrases "dark matter" and "spherical bastards". What a froopy dude!

New article: Where is Meaning? (Part One)

A few years back, while waiting on the kettle to boil, I was staring at a can of Diet Coke. I was a bit zoned out and a question popped into my head. The Diet Coke logo clearly "meant" something to me, but where was that meaning? This moment started me down a multi-year rabbit hole into meaning that I'm writing up as a series of articles.

I share some thoughts about a 2024 IAI article by Paul Pietroski.

https://brywillis634737.substack.com/p/words-do-not-refer-alone

I agree with Paul directionally, but I think he could have gone further – and perhaps he has since – so I compare his view to my own in a Substack article. I'm not sure whether he'd disagree with the extensions. Check it out.

Howard Oakley: "While I’m sure we’ll all be impressed with many of the results of semantic search, hits that we never expected to find, it’s going to prove harder to assess those that it misses. That’s the more concerning aspect of the performance of all search systems, and in many cases how we will judge their value. Even if you aren’t impressed yet by other advanced AI coming in Golden Gate, semantic search could prove decisive."

Shared representation does not mean shared meaning.

Three agents can receive the same observation and same TVS tag—a typed representation used to pass compact object/state labels—yet interpret it differently through memory, role, context, and consequence.

Same tag. Different uptake.

Ted Gibson wrote a paper with the title "Dependency syntax is the simplest theory of grammar". I think the first mistake is the title: #grammar is much more than syntax. The problem of the simplicity claim is that other areas of grammar are simply ignored. And other parts of #syntax.

Generative #AI has prompted a flurry of experimentation, resulting in a parade of failed pilots, unproven PoCs, and unrealized return on investment.

Lulit Tesfaye improves companies' AI capabilities by adding #semantics to their enterprise architectures. This puts their precious knowledge assets in a #context that machines can actually work with. A crucial part of that context is the interoperability that standards like #RDF enable.

For nearly three decades, Giancarlo Guizzardi has researched and advanced the field of #semantics and the practice of #ontology and #conceptualModeling.

His work on the Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO), the OntoUML pattern language, and AI explainability are just a few of the accomplishments that make him an exemplar of the "full-stack ontologist."

A fun conversation with an incredibly accomplished researcher. Hope you enjoy it, too.

I've shared the opening chapters of A Language Insufficiency Hypothesis on PhilPapers.

📕👉 https://philpapers.org/rec/WILALI-3

I examine the structural limits of human language as a medium for conveying meaning. This counters the widespread assumption that clearer definitions.
