TLDR
This book is divided into two parts: a philosophical part I and a practical part II, in which the authors present their text-meaning representation (TMR) and demonstrate how it is used in language analysis and critique many alternative views of semantics.

Natural language processing for information assurance and security: an overview and implementations
TLDR
The expected and partially accomplished result is in harnessing the weird, illogical ways natural languages encode meaning, the very ways that defy all the usual combinatorial approaches to mathematical--and computational--complexity and make NLP so hard, to enhance information security.

Natural Language Watermarking and Tamperproofing
TLDR
A semantically-based scheme dramatically improves the information-hiding capacity of any text through two techniques: modifying the granularity of meaning of individual sentences, whereas the own previous scheme kept the granular fixed, and halving the number of sentences affected by the watermark.

Ontology in information security: a useful theoretical foundation and methodological tool
TLDR
The paper introduces and advocates an ontological semantic approach to information security that pursues the ultimate dual goals of inclusion of natural language data sources as an integral part of the overall data sources in information security applications, and formal specification of the information security community know-how for the support of routine and time-efficient measures to prevent and counteract computer attacks.

Toward an empirical verification of the General Theory of Verbal Humor
The present study derives hypotheses from the General Theory of Verbal Humor (GTVH) and tests them on a sample of 534 subjects. Subjects are presented with three sets of jokes, each consisting of an…
