This paper describes a new finite-state shallow parser. It merges constructive and reductionist approaches within a highly modular architecture. Syntactic information is added at ...
A dynamic model of a multiagent system defines a probability distribution over possible system behaviors over time. Alternative representations for such models present tradeoffs i...
