We present a new propagator achieving bound consistency for the INTER-DISTANCE constraint. This constraint ensures that, among a set of variables X1, . . . , Xn, the difference be...
Interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) has proven useful in a variety of applications by combining the subjective evaluation of a user with the massive parallel search power o...

Synchronous Context-Free Grammars (SCFGs) have been successfully exploited as translation models in machine translation applications. When parsing with an SCFG, computational comp...
We present an automatic approach to tree annotation in which basic nonterminal symbols are alternately split and merged to maximize the likelihood of a training treebank. Starting...

There are two decoding algorithms essential to the area of natural language processing. One is the Viterbi algorithm for linear-chain models, such as HMMs or CRFs. The other is th...
