In order to support the efficient development of NL generation systems, two orthogonal •methods are currently pursued with emphasis: (i) reusable, general, and linguistically•...
In this work we look at combining emerging technologies in programming languages with traditional query processing techniques to provide support for efficient execution of declarat...
Molecular interaction databases can be used to study the evolution of molecular pathways across species. Querying such pathways is a challenging computational problem, and recent e...
In an information retrieval system, a thesaurus can be used for query expansion, i.e. adding words to queries in order to improve recall. We propose a semi-automatic and interactiv...
Recently, systems providing access to extremely large data collections, managed in a distributed manner, gain emerging attention. A promising approach to implement the physical la...
