Framing Image Description as a Ranking Task: Data, Models and Evaluation Metrics (2013, background): “…not typically provide the kinds of generic conceptual descriptions that are of most use for our purposes: Gricean maxims of relevance and quantity (Grice, 1975) entail that image captions that are written for people usually provide precisely the kind of information that could not be obtained from…”

The challenge of crafting intelligible intelligence (2018, methodology): “cludes a Þne-grained recognition pipeline to produce strong image features [3]. Like many contemporary description models [7,8,9,10,11], our model learns to generate a sequence of words using an LSTM [12]. However, we design a novel loss function which encourages generated sentences to include class”
Language as an Abstraction for Hierarchical Deep Reinforcement Learning (2019, neutral): “In contrast to these prior approaches, language is a flexible representation for transferring a variety of ideas and intentions with minimal assumptions about the problem setting; its compositional nature makes it a powerful abstraction for representing combinatorial concepts and for transferring kn”
Sarcasm, Pretense, and The Semantics/ Pragmatics Distinction ∗ (2012, background): “…ties 'what is said' closely to " the particular meanings of the elements of [the sentence uttered], their order, and their syntactic character " (Grice 1975/1989a, 87), cannot maintain that ironic utterances of sentences like (15) through (18) mean the opposite of what they say: in these cases…”
Metarepresentation in linguistic communication (2000, background): “(Grice 1975, 50) Grice’s fundamental contribution to pragmatics was to show that much of verbal comprehension is inferential; but an empirically plausible pragmatic theory should also be concerned with how the inference processes go.”
Cognition, Language Contact, and the Development of Pragmatic Comprehension in a Study‐Abroad Context (2008, background): “The knowledge required for pragmatic comprehension in this study involved linguistic knowledge, knowledge of cooperative principles (Grice, 1975), and knowledge of target language conventions and rules.”
Attenuating Information in Spoken Communication: For the Speaker, or for the Addressee?. (2010, background): “…larger grain, there is pressure to avoid telling people what they already know (as laid out in Grice's cooperative principle and maxim of quantity; Grice, 1975); in fact, addressees often presuppose information that is not stated explicitly in an utterance, but is needed to make sense of it…”
