In this work we propose three unsupervised measures to automatically identify the number of distinct entities a given ambiguous name refers to in a corpus. We experiment with 22 a...
A path from s to t on a polyhedral terrain is descending if the height of a point p never increases while we move p along the path from s to t. No efficient algorithm is known to ...
Spiking neurons model a type of biological neural system where information is encoded with spike times. In this paper, a new method for decoding input spikes according to their abs...
Detection of discourse structure is crucial in many text-based applications. This paper presents an original framework for describing textual parallelism which allows us to genera...
In a headed tree, each terminal word can be uniquely labeled with a governing word and grammatical relation. This labeling is a summary of a syntactic analysis which eliminates de...
