Notes

This note is called: [NOTES]
The notations used in this note is described in [NOTATION]

Collectively these notes discuss issues that interest me and give concrete examples that explain and 'solve' a wide selection of problems related to NLP, AI, cognition and philosophy. These notes have been given symbolic names that are used to reference each other.

These are 'living documents' and change regularly. If I'm awake I try to put dates on them. Notes without dates are either preliminary or still under review. All notes share the same notational conventions [NOTATION].
