Connecting concepts within IE and bridging across traditional idiosyncrasies

Connecting Corresponding Identities across Communities

One of the most interesting challenges in the area of social computing and social media analysis is the so-called community analysis. A well known barrier in cross-community (multiple website) analysis is the disconnectedness of these websites. In this paper, our aim is to provide evidence on the existence of a mapping among identities across multiple communities, providing a method for connect...

"Fundamental Concepts Bridging Education and the Brain"

Although a number of papers have already discussed the relevance of brain research for education, the fundamental concepts and discoveries connecting education and the brain have not been systematically reviewed yet. In this paper, four of these concepts are presented and evidence concerning each one is reviewed. First, the concept of neuroplasticity is proposed as a sine qua non for linking ed...

Experiments on bridging across languages and genres

In this paper, we introduce a typology of bridging relations applicable to multiple languages and genres. After discussing our annotation guidelines, we describe annotation experiments on the German part of our parallel coreference corpus and show that our interannotator agreement results are reliable, considering both antecedent selection and relation assignment. In order to validate our theor...

System Design: Traditional Concepts and New Paradigms

Recent advances in system design are presented. The shift towards flexible hardware architectures that can support a variety of applications via programmability and re-configurability is underlined. Essential to this process is the definition and use of platforms. We give an abstract definition of platform and show its use in system design drawing examples from the automotive system design field.
