Abstract. We prove that the combinatorial distance between any two reduced expressions of a given permutation of {1, ..., n} in terms of transpositions lies in O(n4), a sharp bound...
—This paper considers feature selection for data classification in the presence of a huge number of irrelevant features. We propose a new feature selection algorithm that addres...
For a fixed graph H, let Ret(H) denote the problem of deciding whether a given input graph is retractable to H. We classify the complexity of Ret(H) when H is a graph (with loops ...
In this paper, we propose a general way of constructing an NLG system that permits the systematic exploration of the effects of particular system choices on output quality. We cal...
Children want to find information about their world, but there are barriers to finding what they seek. Young people have varying abilities to formulate complex queries and compreh...
