We consider Discrete Event Systems (DES) involving tasks with real-time constraints and seek to control processing times so as to minimize a cost function subject to each task mee...
Object identification is a crucial step in most information systems. Nowadays, we have many different ways to identify entities such as surrogates, keys and object identifiers. Ho...
We present a novel approach to relation extraction that integrates information across documents, performs global inference and requires no labelled text. In particular, we tackle ...
We present a new syntactic parser that works left-to-right and top down, thus maintaining a fully-connected parse tree for a few alternative parse hypotheses. All of the commonly ...
The Cell Formation Problem is a crucial component of a cell production design in a manufacturing system. This problem consists of a set of product parts to be manufactured in a gr...
