Attributing Agency to Automated Systems: Reflections on Human-Robot Collaborations and Responsibility-Loci.

Science and engineering ethics
Many ethicists writing about automated systems (e.g. self-driving cars and autonomous weapons systems) attribute agency to these systems. Not only that; they seemingly attribute an autonomous or independent form of agency to these machines. This lead...

Driving Under the Influence (of Language).

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
We present a unified framework which supports grounding natural-language semantics in robotic driving. This framework supports acquisition (learning grounded meanings of nouns and prepositions from human sentential annotation of robotic driving paths...

NegAIT: A new parser for medical text simplification using morphological, sentential and double negation.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Many different text features influence text readability and content comprehension. Negation is commonly suggested as one such feature, but few general-purpose tools exist to discover negation and studies of the impact of negation on text readability ...

Unsupervised ensemble ranking of terms in electronic health record notes based on their importance to patients.

Journal of biomedical informatics
BACKGROUND: Allowing patients to access their own electronic health record (EHR) notes through online patient portals has the potential to improve patient-centered care. However, EHR notes contain abundant medical jargon that can be difficult for pat...

Relating Complexity and Error Rates of Ontology Concepts. More Complex NCIt Concepts Have More Errors.

Methods of information in medicine
OBJECTIVES: Ontologies are knowledge structures that lend support to many health-information systems. A study is carried out to assess the quality of ontological concepts based on a measure of their complexity. The results show a relation between com...

The neural and computational bases of semantic cognition.

Nature reviews. Neuroscience
Semantic cognition refers to our ability to use, manipulate and generalize knowledge that is acquired over the lifespan to support innumerable verbal and non-verbal behaviours. This Review summarizes key findings and issues arising from a decade of r...

Modeling the N400 ERP component as transient semantic over-activation within a neural network model of word comprehension.

Cognition
The study of the N400 event-related brain potential has provided fundamental insights into the nature of real-time comprehension processes, and its amplitude is modulated by a wide variety of stimulus and context factors. It is generally thought to r...

Preschoolers Flexibly Adapt to Linguistic Input in a Noisy Channel.

Psychological science
Because linguistic communication is inherently noisy and uncertain, adult language comprehenders integrate bottom-up cues from speech perception with top-down expectations about what speakers are likely to say. Further, in line with the predictions o...

Characteristics of outpatient clinical summaries in the United States.

International journal of medical informatics
In the United States, federal regulations require that outpatient practices provide a clinical summary to ensure that patients understand what transpired during their appointment and what to do before the next visit. To determine whether clinical sum...
