Abstract. Partial parsing techniques try to recover syntactic information efficiently and reliably by sacrificing completeness and depth of analysis. One of the difficulties of pa...
We introduce a general formalism of production inference relations that posses both a standard monotonic semantics and a natural nonmonotonic semantics. The resulting nonmonotonic...
Persistence - the storage and retrieval of application data from secondary storage media - is often used as a classical example of a crosscutting concern. It is widely assumed tha...
We consider the classical vertex cover and set cover problems with the addition of hard capacity constraints. This means that a set (vertex) can only cover a limited number of its...
The classical Probability Ranking Principle (PRP) forms the theoretical basis for probabilistic Information Retrieval (IR) models, which are dominating IR theory since about 20 ye...
