Modularizing Contexted Constraints
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a method for compiling a constraint-based grammar into a potentially more efficient form for processing. This method takes dependent disjunctions within a constraint formula and factors them into non-interacting groups whenever possible by determining their independence. When a group of dependent disjunctions is split into smaller groups, an exponential amount of redundant information is reduced. At runtime, this means that an exponential amount of processing can be saved as well. Since the performance of an algorithm for processing constraints with dependent disjunctions is highly determined by its input, the transformation presented in this paper should prove beneficial for all such algorithms.

De-Constraining Text Generation
We argue that the current, predominantly task-oriented, approaz~hes to modularizing text • generation, while plausible and useful conceptually, set up spurious conceptual and operational constraints. We propose a data-driven approach to modularization and illustrate how it eliminates • •the previously ubiquitous constraints on combination of evidence across modules and on • control. We also bri...
متن کاملCompAr: Ensuring Safe Around Advice Composition
Advanced techniques in separation of concerns such as AspectOriented Programming, help to develop more maintainable and more efficient applications by providing means for modularizing crosscutting concerns. However, conflicts may appear when several concerns need to be composed for the same application, especially when dealing with around advice. We call this problem the Aspect Composition Issu...
متن کاملToward Generalized Organizationally Contexted Agent Control
Generalized domain-independent approaches to agent control enable control components to be used for a wide variety of applications. This abstraction from the domain context implies that contextual behavior is not possible or that it requires violation of the domain-independent objective. We discuss how context is used in the generalized framework and our current focus on the addition of organiz...
متن کاملBeyond Mundane Reason: Conversation Analysis And Context
Conversation analysts have sometimes been taken to task for apparently choosing not to deal with the "context" of the conversational activities they examine (Cicourel, 1981). In Talking Culture Moerman (1988) describes a blend of ethnography and conversation analysis, and suggests that ethnography describes contextual data extrinsic to interaction while conversation analysis provides non-contex...
