The relevance of the study lies in considering the new content and features of a unified geospatial support for the economy and the life of society in the context of digital transformation. The aim of the work is to present the essence, fundamental points, new views and approaches to geospatial activities. Methods of formal logical analysis, linear programming, theory of matrix games with nature are used. A formal interpretation of the assessment and use of territorial resources as objects of a single geospatial activity is proposed. From the standpoint of the structural-functional approach, the essential characteristics of ensuring the life of society with geo-information and geosciences are considered. A formal-logical analysis of ideas about life in the surrounding geospace is given in order to optimize the use of its resources on the basis of an all-encompassing geospatial perspective. The concept of "geofragment" is introduced as an elementary unit of geospace, in which sectoral and / or natural processes take place and objects of different sectoral spaces interact. The role of geospatial knowledge is substantiated and an integrated approach to the processes of preparing spatial solutions for territory management based on a combination of geoinformation and geocognitive spaces is proposed. Geospatial activity in the territorial discourse is becoming an independent factor in the management of territories to ensure the life of society, based on the optimization of the distribution (redistribution) of territorial resources through the complex interaction of industries and clusters. This activity provides geodata, geo-information and geosciences for the diverse processes of interaction between industrial spaces and nature within the framework of a common physical geospace.

Iot Devices

Although Internet of Things (IoT) has been recently receiving attention from the research community, undoubtedly, there still exists several privacy concerns about those devices. In particular, IoT devices in the cyberspace are reachable and visible through IP addresses. This article uniquely exploits to qualify the distribution of owner information of IoT devices based on the observation; consumers may write relevant details into the application-layer service on the IoT devices, such as company or usernames. We propose to automatically extract owner annotation by utilizing a set of techniques (network scanning, machine learning, and natural language processing). We use the probing and classifier to determine whether the response data come from an IoT device. The natural language-processing technique is used to extract owner information from IoT devices. We have conducted real-world experiments to evaluate our integrated approach empirically. The results show that the precision is 97% and the coverage is 96%. Furthermore, our approach is running on a more larger unlabeled dataset consisting of 93 million response packets from the whole IPv4 space. Our analysis has drawn upon nearly 4.3 million IoT devices exposed to the public, and it is a typical trail effect of the owner information distribution.

Semantic Dimension

The purpose of this article is to elucidate the evolution of Wittgenstein’s philosophy. After having considered in the Tractatus, natural language as suffering from many deficiencies and does not respond to his aspirations which are the establishment of a logically perfect language by the precision and adjusting so that each object should correspond only one word, this position has evolved in Investigations for a reconsideration of natural language as having a particular importance for its infinite uses, that take the form of a "language- game" using specific rules. This new dynamic analysis of language, as opposed to the static analysis of the Tractatus, permitted natural discourse to regain its semantic dimension to remain creative and ingenious. What distinguishes the two theories? And what are the resulting philosophical consequences? This is what we will try to clarify.

Centering Theory

This article describes an implemented system which uses centering theory for planning of coherent texts and choice of referring expressions. We argue that text and sentence planning need to be driven in part by the goal of maintaining referential continuity and thereby facilitating pronoun resolution: Obtaining a favorable ordering of clauses, and of arguments within clauses, is likely to increase opportunities for nonambiguous pronoun use. Centering theory provides the basis for such an integrated approach. Generating coherent texts according to centering theory is treated as a constraint satisfaction problem. The well-known Rule 2 of centering theory is reformulated in terms of a set of constraints—cohesion, salience, cheapness, and continuity—and we show sample outputs obtained under a particular weighting of these constraints. This framework facilitates detailed research into evaluation metrics and will therefore provide a productive research tool in addition to the immediate practical benefit of improving the fluency and readability of generated texts. The technique is generally applicable to natural language generation systems, which perform hierarchical text structuring based on a theory of coherence relations with certain additional assumptions.

Abstract The following well-known problem motivated my handling more general problems. As we surely know, our pupils and even students are confronted with much more trouble when learning mathematics (and even physics) than when they learn ‘empirical’ sciences like biology, mineralogy etc. There are many factors that can at least partially explain this phenomenon. I would however mention one factor that is not too frequently adduced: mathematics, logic, and much of physics use concepts that are abstract while the empirical sciences seem to support understanding by using expressions concerning (denoting? expressing?) concrete objects. Therefore the first topic to be explained (or explicated) is: Abstract vs. concrete. The second point will consist of applying the first point to explanation of the trouble with learning mathematics. The third point will ask Logical Analysis of Natural Language how to tell abstract expressions from concrete ones. The fourth point will confront the concept described in the foregoing point with conceptions trying to abandon the distinction between analytic and empirical expressions. Here it will be shown that the empiricism representing this latter conception deprives semantics as applied to Natural language of important features of expressivity.

Language Text

This chapter's subject matter is “The Land of Hope”, a Japanese film inspired by facts. The primary aim is to apply structural analysis of narrative, a method commonly used for natural language text, to film, which is an audiovisual text. This research will adopt methods for decomposing the film into component units and rules for linking them that are appropriate to the physical/representational characteristics of the medium, and propose a procedure for visualizing the narrative structure using a single diagram. The second aim is to sketch the aspects of narrative content that structural analyses – which only regard its formal aspects – overlook, supporting the argument with knowledge from film cognition research and by focusing on particular themes. This chapter's research deals with a practical simulation that analyzes a film's form and content with an integrated approach, and advocates the methodology that is applicable to any film in principle.
