Many applications call for methods to enable automatic extraction of structured information from unstructured natural language text. Due to inherent challenges of natural language ...
Recent work in the field of machine translation (MT) evaluation suggests that sentence level evaluation based on machine learning (ML) can outperform the standard metrics such as B...

Abstract--Evidence-based decision making is becoming increasingly important in healthcare. Much valuable evidence is in the form of the results from clinical trials that compare th...
When a local optimal solution is reached with classical Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), all particles in the swarm gather around it, and escaping from this local optima becomes...

Abstract--Reliability and/or availability are increasingly important aspects in the design of systems, especially networks and service offerings. Optimization here is a multi-crite...
In this paper, we introduce a new partial consistency for constraint networks which is called Structural Consistency of level w and is denoted w-SC consistency. This consistency i...
A significant body of work in multiagent systems over more than two decades has focused on multi-agent coordination (1). Many challenges in multi-agent coordination can be modeled ...
