Conventional event coreference systems commonly use a pipeline architecture and rely heavily on handcrafted features, which often causes error propagation problems leads to poor generalization ability. In this paper, we propose neural network-based end-to-end (E3C) that can jointly model detection resolution tasks learn extract features from raw text automatically. Furthermore, because mentions...

Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are believed to be the most powerful explosions that have occurred in the Universe since the Big Bang and are a mystery to the scientific community. “Swift”, a NASA mission that includes international participation, was designed and built in preparation for a 2003 launch to help to determine the origin of Gamma Ray Bursts. Locating the position in the sky where a burst o...

For Cylindrical Hex on a board with circumference 3, we give a winning strategy for the end-to-end player. This is the first known winning strategy for odd circumference at least 3, answering a question of David Gale.

The skills and abilities of a company’s employees are a prerequisite for the enterprise to be innovative. In case the know-how needed to accomplish certain tasks is not available internally or cannot be developed within reasonable time, the company needs to address to the external labor market, e.g. by recruiting experts possessing the skill sets required. However, for rare candidate profiles t...

If automatic speech processing wants to deal with spontaneous speech, it has to deal with disfluencies in general and speech repairs in particular as well. The paper describes the processing of speech repairs in the VERBMOBIL system and discusses the special requirements of real-time systems. With respect to this criterion, the VERBMOBIL approach and its results are compared to other work. All ...

This paper motivates and describes the thesis work that will be done as part of the author's Master of Engineering degree requirements. We present the primary thesis of the work: it is desirable, feasible, and practical to build a device for rapidly acquiring dense pose image datasets. Pose images are digital images tagged with estimates of the camera's 6 degreeof-freedom (DOF) position and ori...

The articles in this special issue represent advances in several areas of knowledge acquisition and knowledge representation. In this article we attempt to place these advances in the context of a fundamental challenge in AI; namely, the automated acquisition of knowledge from data and the representation of this knowledge to support understanding and reasoning. We observe that while this work d...
