RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF NATURAL HISTORY AUTUMN SESSION SUMMARY

Russian Academy of Sciences

Functional programming is among paradigms used for the real-world parallel application development. PSI of RAS during a considerable period of time develops the T-System approach based on functional programming. This paper briefly describes the architecture of the ACCT compiler system targeted at performing transformations of the TSystem programs. An algorithm for nonlocal optimizing transforma...

Summary of Session 7 - Natural Language (Part 2)

In this session, Ralph Weischedel of BBN reported on work advancing the state of the art in multiple underlying systems, i.e., translating an understood query or command into a program to produce an answer from one or more application systems. This work addresses one of the key bottlenecks to making NL (and speech) systems truly applicable. Systematic translat ion techniques from logical form o...

Airline operations are disrupted frequently. The most impor-tant factors are unstable weather conditions and unpredictable techni-cal aeronautics problems. In a disrupted situation, an airline operatorneeds to quickly adjust the timetable and the resource schedules sothe importance of re-assignment of facilities to flight is much moreclearer. In this study, we considered the...

Spin Physics: Session Summary

Many spin physics experiments have been performed in recent years and many new exciting results have been reported at DIS 2007 [1], which will be highlighted in this summary. Also on the theory side many new results were reported, especially regarding transverse spin effects which are most challenging. Recent years have seen quite some unexpected developments concerning so-called TMDs, transver...
