A model for a historical database is described which is based upon time-stamped tuples as the unit of storage. The model includes both physical and logical time-stamps. The techni...
We present a sound and complete calculus for causal relevance that uses Pearl's functional causal models as semantics. The calculus consists of axioms and rules of inference ...
We describe the use of energy function optimisation in very shallow syntactic parsing. The approach can use linguistic rules and corpus-based statistics, so the strengths of both ...
In the general classification context the recourse to the so-called Bayes decision rule requires to estimate the class conditional probability density functions. In this paper we p...
We consider discrete possibilistic systems for which the available information is given by one-step transition possibilities and initial possibilities. These systems can be repres...
