Abstract

The article offers poetry criticism of Andrew Marvell's poem "The Nymph Complaining for the Death of her Fawn." It discusses the challenges of interpreting Marvell's poems, characterized by indecipherability and ambiguities, and how Marvell's writing style engages readers as active collaborators in the interpretation process. It also explores the poem's use of literary conventions, imagery, and metaphors related to the hunt, love, and spirituality.

3. TABASCO: A transformer based contextualization toolkit.

Abstract

Ambiguity means that a single reader can interpret the natural language (NL) software requirement in more than one way or that multiple readers come to different interpretations. Ambiguous NL software requirements may result in the production of poor quality software artifacts in later stages of software development life cycle. In the literature, several approaches have been proposed to identify multiple meanings of commonly used terms in different application domains, i.e., cross-domain ambiguities. Unfortunately, none of these approaches are able to identify different contexts in which a term has been used within the requirements document of a single application domain or in a multidisciplinary project document. We call this type of ambiguity as intra-domain ambiguity. We have designed and developed TABASCO, a tool for detecting and identifying such ambiguities present in the software requirements and other project-related documents. TABASCO focuses on detecting nouns which have been used in different contexts by computing contextual embeddings represented as real-valued vector for every instance of a candidate noun present in the document using the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) as a language model. In the next step, K-means clustering algorithm with cosine similarity metric is applied which allows creating multiple clusters for a candidate noun such that each cluster contains all those instances which have been used in a similar context. TABASCO provides an intuitive graphical user interface which can be used to generate a summary report and a detailed report for each target noun providing the details of different contexts in which this noun has been used in the project. The detailed report also presents the most similar words for every occurrence of the target noun and some example sentences from the corpus to show the context-specific meaning. Our demonstrative experiments using two case studies show that TABASCO can be very useful for identifying intra-domain ambiguities in software requirements and other project-related documents written using NL text. • A user-friendly tool for detecting intra-domain ambiguities in software requirements. • Based on the idea of BERT embeddings and K-means clustering. • Does not require training a machine learning model from the scratch. • Generates a summary report and a detailed report for every context in which a term has been used. • Validated on a large-sized requirements case study, i.e., PURE dataset.

Abstract

FTS4VMC is a publicly available front-end tool for the static analysis and family-based model checking of a Featured Transition System (FTS). It can detect ambiguities in an FTS, disambiguate an ambiguous FTS, transform an FTS into a Modal Transition System (MTS), and interact with the VMC model checker for family-based verification. • FTS4VMC is a front-end tool with a user-friendly GUI for static analysis and family-based model checking of FTSs. • FTS4VMC expands the possible use cases of VMC to include also FTSs. • FTS4VMC is publicly available, well documented and easy to install and run.

8. A Culture of Ambiguity: An Alternative History of Islam.

*HISTORY of Islam, *IMAGINARY histories, *AMBIGUITY, *RELIGIOUS orthodoxy, *AMBIGUITY tolerance, *PRACTICAL theology
Abstract

In arguably the most important chapter, "The Islamization of Islam", Bauer rounds on the fallacies that Islam is somehow more inherently a religious culture than any others and that religion and life are inseparable in the tradition. The lens for Thomas Bauer's critique of modern appraisals of Islam is one he terms "tolerance of ambiguity." Indeed, Bauer suggests this ambiguous character of medieval Middle Eastern Islam (roughly 900 to 1500 CE) was not merely tolerated but rather celebrated by Muslims as being endemic to Islam.
