This paper reports on our recent work on modeling and automatically extracting vague, implicit event durations from text (Pan et al., 2006a, 2006b). It is a kind of commonsense kn...
Matroid theory gives us powerful techniques for understanding combinatorial optimization problems and for designing polynomial-time algorithms. However, several natural matroid pr...
Abstract: As a general rule of thumb, business logic in a multi-layered information system should be implemented in a dedicated domain layer and be separated from the presentation ...
