We describe an algorithm for deciding the first-order multisorted theory BAPA, which combines 1) Boolean algebras of sets of uninterpreted elements (BA) and 2) Presburger arithmeti...

Given a set system (X, R), the hitting set problem is to find a smallest-cardinality subset H ⊆ X, with the property that each range R ∈ R has a non-empty intersection with H...
Question answering (QA) systems take users’ natural language questions and retrieve relevant answers from large repositories of free texts. Despite recent progress in QA researc...
