Alexa, How Can I Reason with Prolog?

As with Amazon\u27s Echo and its conversational agent Alexa, smart voice-controlled devices become ever more present in daily life, and many different applications can be integrated into this platform. In this paper, we present a framework that eases the development of skills in Prolog. As Prolog has a long history in natural language processing, we may integrate well-established techniques, such as reasoning about knowledge with Attempto Controlled English, instead of depending on example phrases and pre-defined slots

Book of Abstracts: International Workshop on Mathematics and Physical Sciences

This book-proceeding comprises the results of various comprehensive Mathematical and Physical Sciences-based studies accepted for presentation and discussion during the 1st Mathematical and Physical Sciences International Workshop in Évora, in 2023 (Mat- Phys23). The MatPhys23, organized under the auspices of University of Évora throughout the CIMA - Research Center in Mathematics and Applications, the ICT - Institute of Earth Sciences and the NOVA-LINCS - NOVA Laboratory for Informatics and Computer Science (Évora branch). This Workshop brought together many well-known mathematicians, physicists and engineers from University of Beira Interior (UBI, Portugal), University of Cabo Verde (UCV, Cabo Verde), Montclair State University (MSU, NJ, USA) and University of Évora (UÉ, Portugal). This book-proceeding volume involves 24 abstracts on the latest trending and significant challenges in mathematics and physical sciences. The works presented focus on the following areas: statistical and mathematical methods that are relevant to biology, medical and biomedical sciences, computer science, economics, social sciences, music, environmental sciences, climatology, engineering, industry, fluid mechanics and their applications, numerical simulations in various physical, geophysical, chemical, biological and engineering applications. In addition to the usual scientific interaction between participants, this meeting has the presence of PhD students, which we consider relevant. Considering the original contents, aims, and methodologies of all these valuable studies, it is believed that the topical outputs are of interest to all researchers, practitioners, and students and would mainly provide new scientific insights and knowledge for geoscientists and engineers.CIMA-Centro de Investigação em Matemática e Aplicações; ICT-Instituto de Ciências da Terra; NOVALINC
