• Abstract: A review is made of the field of contextuality in quantum mechanics. We study the historical emergence of the concept from philosophical and logical issues. We present and compare the main theoretical frameworks that have been derived. Finally, we focus on the complex task of establishing experimental tests of contextuality. Throughout this work, we try to show that the conceptualisation of contextuality has progressed through different complementary perspectives, before summoning them together to analyse the signification of contextuality experiments. Doing so, we argue that contextuality emerged as a discrete logical problem and developed into a quantifiable quantum resource.

• An algebraic characterisation of Kochen-Specker contextuality [0.0]
  Contextuality is a key distinguishing feature between classical and quantum physics. It expresses a fundamental obstruction to describing quantum theory using classical concepts. Different frameworks address different aspects of the phenomenon, yet their precise relationship often remains unclear.

  We present Conceptor, a novel method to interpret the internal representation of a textual concept by a diffusion model. We find surprising visual connections between concepts, that transcend their textual semantics. We additionally discover concepts that rely on mixtures of exemplars, biases, renowned artistic styles, or a simultaneous fusion of multiple meanings.

  We propose a novel contrastive pre-training approach for mathematical question representations, namely QuesCo. We first design two-level question augmentations, including content-level and structure-level, which generate literally diverse question pairs with similar purposes. Then, to fully exploit hierarchical information of knowledge concepts, we propose a knowledge hierarchy-aware rank strategy.

  We argue that clarity on the notion of text is crucial for reproducible and generalizable NLP. We introduce a two-tier taxonomy of linguistic and non-linguistic elements that are available in textual sources and can be used in NLP modeling.

• Textual Entailment Recognition with Semantic Features from Empirical Text Representation [60.31047947815282]
  A text entails a hypothesis if and only if the true value of the hypothesis follows the text. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to identifying the textual entailment relationship between text and hypothesis. We employ an element-wise Manhattan distance vector-based feature that can identify the semantic entailment relationship between the text-hypothesis pair.

• Contextuality, Fine-Tuning, and Teleological Explanation [0.0]
  I argue that contextuality is best thought of in terms of fine-tuning. This behaviour can be understood as a manifestation of teleological features of physics. I show that measurement contextuality can be explained by appeal to a global constraint forbidding closed causal loops.

  We show a thought experiment'' where a classical object obeying the laws of classical physics is used to generate experimental data violating the KCBS inequality. We give special attention to the distinction between classical realism and classicality, and to the contrast between contextuality within and beyond quantum theory.

• On the Faithfulness Measurements for Model Interpretations [100.2730234575114]
  Post-hoc interpretations aim to uncover how natural language processing (NLP) models make predictions. To tackle these issues, we start with three criteria: the removal-based criterion, the sensitivity of interpretations, and the stability of interpretations. Motivated by the desideratum of these faithfulness notions, we introduce a new class of interpretation methods that adopt techniques from the adversarial domain.
