One major bottleneck in conversational systems is their incapability in interpreting unexpected user language inputs such as out-ofvocabulary words. To overcome this problem, conv...
A formal semantics of uncertain databases typically takes an algebraic approach by mapping an uncertain database to a set of relational databases, or possible worlds. We present a...
In this paper we introduce “clipping,” a new method of syntactic approximation which is motivated by and works in conjunction with a sound and decidable denotational model for...
Abstract. Relational databases are valuable sources for ontology learning. Methods and tools have been proposed to generate ontologies from such structured input. However, a major ...
We show in this paper that the influential algorithm of iterative belief propagation can be understood in terms of exact inference on a polytree, which results from deleting enoug...
