Pragmatics is the study of language use and context. It examines how the context, both situational and linguistic, affects the meaning of utterances. An utterance is the smallest unit of speech studied in pragmatics. Pragmatics focuses on the speaker's intended meaning rather than just the grammatical form. The interpretation of an utterance depends on its semantic content and environment. Contextual factors like the social and situational background condition both the production and understanding of utterances.

T-61.6020 Computational Pragmatics
Timo Honkela, Aalto University School of Science
Spring 2012
Pragmatics is a subfield of linguistics which studies the ways in
which context contributes to meaning. It studies how the transmission
of meaning depends not only on the linguistic knowledge of the speaker
and listener, but also on the context of the utterance, knowledge
about the status of those involved, the intent of the speaker, etc.
Even though pragmatics is traditionally considered as an area of
linguistics, similar considerations related to meaning in context are
also relevant for information systems design and especially
interactive systems development. An interesting issue within computer
science is the interface between pragmatics and semantics. Ontologies
are used in semantic web to define prototypical meanings but in the
real-world contexts, pragmatics deals with the subjective and
contextual variation around prototypical meanings. In human-to-machine
communication, information systems may have practical uses in new
contexts beyond the ones defined originally by the designer of the
system. In machine-to-machine communication, formal semantics may fall
short in solving interoperability issues and thus issues related to
pragmatics need to be considered. In overall, the focus is in how
understanding takes place, not in how meanings are defined.
During the course, the participants are introduced with the main
linguistic theories related to pragmatics including but not limited to
the theories about the functions of languages, the speech act theory,
and the theory of conversational maxims. The participants will
familiarize themselves with computational models in the area of
pragmatics with specific focus on dynamic and adaptive systems and
statistical machine learning. They will also conduct a small empirical
study related to the subjectivity and contextuality of meaning using
the grounded intersubjective concept analysis (GICA). The collected
data will be analyzed using statistical methods.
Pragmatic Optimization in Modern Programming - Ordering Optimization ApproachesMarina Kolpakova
The slides give an idea about how to look pragmatically at software optimization and order optimization approaches according to this pragmatic point of view
A presentation to explain how students can write a (how-to) paragraph. It includes the keys to write a clear paragraph and the transitional signals that connect the steps or the instructions of doing something.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

2. Definition
• “Pragmatics studies the factors that govern our
choice of language in social interaction and the
effects of our choice on others.” David Crystal
• In contrast to Phonetics and Phonology,
Morphology, Syntax, and so forth, which describe
different levels of language structure; Pragmatics
deals with language use. Pragmatics is mostly
used in connection with the relationship between
linguistic signs and their users. It investigates how
context (both situational and linguistic) affects
the meaning of utterances.
3. "You have a green light.”
• It could mean that you have green ambient
lighting.
• It could mean that you have a green light while
driving your car.
• It could mean that you can go ahead with the
project.
• It could mean that your body has a green glow.
• It could mean that you possess a light bulb that is
tinted green.
5. Utterance
• It’s a smallest unit of speech and it’s the
object of study in Pragmatic analysis.
• Pragmatic Linguistics focus on the study of the
speaker's meaning, not focusing on the
phonetic or grammatical form of an
utterance, but instead on what the speaker's
intentions and beliefs are.
6. Utterance versus Sentence
• Utterance:
• Speech unit.
• The interpretation
depends on the
semantic content and
the enviroment.
• Sentence:
• Grammar unit.
• The semantic content
depends on the
structure but not on the
possibles uses.
7.
8. Utterance Elements (Physical)
• Source or Sender: Objects which encode message
data and transmit the information, via a channel
(Written / Orally).
• Receiver or Observer: The one who receives decoded
messages/information from the sender, who first
encoded them.
• Utterance: Linguistic information produced by the
sender.
• Space-time Context: Physical background in which
the utterance is going on.
9. Utterance Elements (Immaterial)
• Pragmatic information: A set of
knowledge, beliefs, opinions, and feeling
of a person.
• Purpose: The relationship between the
source and the information.
• Social background: the relationship
between iterlocutors.
10. Utterance Characteristics
• It’s an individual, single and unique action.
• It’s an psychophysiological activity.
• It’s bounded by pauses. (Beginning/ End)
11. Discourse Background
• A set of extra linguistic factors that
conditionate both the production and the
meaning of the utterance.
12. • Social: Belong to a certain social group and it’s
understood by that group.
• Situational: Here and now. It can be
understood only by the source and the
observer.
• Linguistic: It’s the linguistic enviroment in
which a word can be found.
