There are two decoding algorithms essential to the area of natural language processing. One is the Viterbi algorithm for linear-chain models, such as HMMs or CRFs. The other is th...
Marx and de Rijke have shown that the navigational core of the w3c XML query language XPath is not first-order complete ? that is it cannot express every query definable in firsto...
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a linear syntax for trees, which has gathered a remarkable amount of interest in industry. The acceptance of XML opens new venues for the appli...
Although every terminating loop has a ranking function, not every loop has a ranking function of a restricted form, such as a lexicographic tuple of polynomials over program variab...
