In the rapidly evolving landscape of multimodal communication research, this follow-up to Gregori et al. (2023) explores the transformative role of machine learning (ML), particularly using multi-modal large language models, in tracking, augmenting, annotating, and analyzing multimodal data. Building upon the foundations laid in our previous work,...

In the common use of logic diagrams, the positive term is conveniently located inside the circle while its negative counterpart is left outside. This practice, already found in Euler’s original scheme, leads to trouble when one wishes to express the non-existence of the outer region or to tackle logic problems involving negative terms. In this chap...

It is known that early modern logic tackled complex problems involving a high number of terms. For the purpose, John Venn, and several of his followers, designed algorithms for the construction of complex logic diagrams. This task proved difficult because diagrams tend to lose their visual advantage beyond five or six terms. In this paper, we discu...

In this paper, we analyze and discuss Schopenhauer’s n-term diagrams for eristic dialectics from a graph-theoretical perspective. Unlike logic, eristic dialectics does not examine the validity of an isolated argument, but the progression and persuasiveness of an argument in the context of a dialogue or even controversy. To represent these dialogue...

CL diagrams – the abbreviation of Cubus Logicus – are inspired by J.C. Lange’s logic machine from 1714. In recent times, Lange’s diagrams have been used for extended syllogistics, bitstring semantics, analogical reasoning and many more. The paper presents a method for testing statistical syllogisms (also called proportional syllogisms or inductive...

Charles S. Peirce introduced in 1903 a set a transformation rules for Euler-Venn diagrams. This innovation contrasted with earlier practices where logicians rather extracted the desired information by a simple ‘glance’ at their diagrams. Also, Peirce’s set of rules was the starting point of Sun-Joo Shin’s more recent systems which, in turn, inspire...

Unlike their predecessors, Lewis Carroll and Charles S. Peirce introduced rules to manipulate diagrams. As such, they opened the way to a formal view of diagrams. However, their motivations seem different, and even opposite: Pierce’s rules are present for the purposes of analysis while Carroll’s rules enable an epistemological strategy to ease calc...

While developing his system of Existential graphs which he viewed as the logic of the future, Charles S. Peirce continued working on variations of past diagrams. In particular, he introduced in the period 1896–1901 an original variation of Eulerian diagrams where the shape of the curves indicated the sign of the classes that were contained in them....

A new diagram system \(\hbox {Venn}_{i_{o1}}\) where properties are fundamental and an object exists only w.r.t a property is presented. This work modifies both in syntax and semantics the system \(\hbox {Venn}_{i_{o}}\) proposed by Choudhury and Chakraborty to picturise and address issues connected with open universe. Semantics for the current sys...

Venn diagram system has been extended by introducing names of individuals and their absence. Absence gives a kind of negation of singular propositions. We have offered here a non-classical interpretation of this negation. Soundness and completeness of the present diagram system have been established with respect to this interpretation.
