Set variables are ubiquitous in modeling (soft) constraint problems, but efforts on practical consistency algorithms for Weighted Constraint Satisfaction Problems (WCSPs) have onl...
This work presents a general rank-learning framework for passage ranking within Question Answering (QA) systems using linguistic and semantic features. The framework enables query...

This paper proposes a dependency parsing method that uses bilingual constraints to improve the accuracy of parsing bilingual texts (bitexts). In our method, a targetside tree frag...
We study online interval coloring problems with bandwidth. We are interested in some variants motivated by bin packing problems. Specifically we consider open-end coloring, cardin...
In this paper we present a mechanism for translating information in heterogeneous digital library environments. We model information as a set of conjunctive constraints that are s...
