• Title: Ontology of Belief Diversity: A Community-Based Epistemological Approach
• Authors: Tyler Fischella, Erin van Liemt, Qiuyi, Zhang,
• Abstract summary: We focus on developing a pragmatic ontology of belief systems, which is a complex and often controversial space. By iterating on our community-based design until mutual agreement is reached, we found that methods were best for categorizing the fundamental ways beliefs differ.

• Abstract: AI applications across classification, fairness, and human interaction often implicitly require ontologies of social concepts. Constructing these well, especially when there are many relevant categories, is a controversial task but is crucial for achieving meaningful inclusivity. Here, we focus on developing a pragmatic ontology of belief systems, which is a complex and often controversial space. By iterating on our community-based design until mutual agreement is reached, we found that epistemological methods were best for categorizing the fundamental ways beliefs differ, maximally respecting our principles of inclusivity and brevity. We demonstrate our methodology's utility and interpretability via user studies in term annotation and sentiment analysis experiments for belief fairness in language models.

  We propose ApplE, an Applied Ethics ontology that captures philosophical theory and event context to holistically describe the morality of an action. The development process adheres to a modified version of the Agile methodology for Ontology Development (SAMOD) and utilizes standard design and publication practices.

  This paper presents a metasemantic-metapragmatic taxonomy for grounding and conceptualizing human-like multimodal communicative alignment. I introduce the concept of indexical contextualization and propose the principle of "contextualization directionality" The framework's broader implications for intentionality, identity, affect, and ethics in within-modal and cross-modal human-machine alignment are also discussed.

• Regularized Conventions: Equilibrium Computation as a Model of Pragmatic Reasoning [72.21876989058858]
  We present a model of pragmatic language understanding, where utterances are produced and understood by searching for regularized equilibria of signaling games. In this model speakers and listeners search for contextually appropriate utterance--meaning mappings that are both close to game-theoretically optimal conventions and close to a shared, ''default'' semantics.

  We present a novel framework, which uses an Inductive Logic Programming approach to learn the acceptability semantics for several abstract and structured argumentation frameworks in an interpretable way. Our framework outperforms existing argumentation solvers, thus opening up new future research directions in the area of formal argumentation and human-machine dialogues.

  We present a deep learning approach to build a search system for large clinical vocabularies. We propose a Triplet-BERT model and a method that generates training data based on semantic training data. The model is evaluated using five real benchmark data sets and the results show that our approach achieves high results on both free text to concept and concept to searching concept vocabularies.
