Red-Black Relaxed Plan Heuristics Reloaded

Despite its success, the delete relaxation has significant pitfalls. In an attempt to overcome these pitfalls, recent work has devised so-called red-black relaxed plan heuristics, where red variables take the relaxed semantics (accumulating their values), while black variables take the regular semantics. These heuristics were shown to significantly improve over standard delete relaxation heuris...

Early cinema, late cinema: permutations of the public sphere

There tends to be a moment in the development of cultural practices when discourses of the recent past become history; they are no longer just outdated but, like bell-bottom jeans, mini-skirts and platform shoes, acquire historicity. This is what seems to have happened with film theory of the 1970s and early 1980s, particularly as it revolved around the notion of 'the spectator'. I am thinking ...

Sequence analysis The hot topic in sequence analysis is hidden Markov models (HMMs). Rather than looking at related protein sequences as clusters of pairwise alignments, HMMs abstract from a family of related sequences a probability model that can be used to predict whether a novel sequence is a member of the family. Some nifty mathematics are needed for accurate HMMs, but once created they can...

Morfeusz Reloaded

The paper presents recent developments in Morfeusz – a morphological analyser for Polish. The program, being already a fundamental resource for processing Polish, has been reimplemented with some important changes in the tagset, some new options, added information on proper names, and ability to perform simple prefix derivation. The present version of Morfeusz (including its dictionaries) is ma...
