This paper introduces a discriminative extension to whole-word point process modeling techniques. Meant to circumvent the strong independence assumptions of their generative prede...
Document expansion and query expansion aim to add related terms into document and query representations in order to make them more complete. However, most previous studies are lim...
Data-driven learning based on shift reduce parsing algorithms has emerged dependency parsing and shown excellent performance to many Treebanks. In this paper, we investigate the e...
We consider repetitions in words and solve a longstanding open problem about the relation between the period and the length of its longest unbordered factor. A word u is called bor...
We introduce a general definition for the independence of a number of finite-valued variables, based on coherent lower previsions. Our definition has an epistemic flavour: it a...
