Overlapping tile automata and the associated notion of recognizability by means of (adequate) premorphisms in finite ordered monoids have recently been defined for coping with the collapse of classical recognizability in inverse monoids. In this paper, we investigate more in depth the associated algebraic tools that allows for a better understanding of the underlying mathematical theory. In par...

(a) David Cameron could refer to the British politician, the English actor or any other namesake. “The Ford Motor Company, founded in 1903 by Henry Ford, is one of the largest auto makers in the world. During a time of crisis throughout the auto industry in recent years, Ford emerged as the sole American automaker in a position to survive the steepest sales downturn in decades without a governm...

Manufacturers of consumer goods are trying to establish a direct link to consumers and to strengthen their competitive position by offering additional services. Even for simple services like a free warranty extension, manufacturers often rely on old-fashioned mailin coupons and have to encourage consumers to reach out to them over inefficient channels. We suspect that the transaction costs for ...

This paper briefly reports our submissions to the three tasks in TAC KBP 2011, i.e., Slot Filling (SF for short), Entity Linking (EL for short) and Cross-lingual Entity Linking (CEL for short).

The development of Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is accelerating globally and provides significant revenue opportunities depending on user adoption. Hence, user adoption of IPTV constitutes a field of interest for IPTV providers. This paper extends prior research by proposing a research model for studying the driving forces of users' adoption of IPTV. Examining IPTV as a hedonic IT system...

We present the Visual Entity Explorer (VEX), an interactive tool for visually exploring and analyzing the output of entity linking systems. VEX is designed to aid developers in improving their systems by visualizing system results, gold annotations, and various mention detection and entity linking error types in a clear, concise, and customizable manner.

background: lipase is an enzyme with immense application potential. ester synthesis by lipase catalysis in organic media is an area of key industrial relevance. enzymatic preparations with traits that cater to the needs of this function are hence being intensely researched. objective: the objectives of the study were to immobilize the lipase from bacillus sp. ps35 by cross-linking and adsorptio...

the effects of chitosan/biopolymer (c/p) and nanohydroxyapatite/ biopolymer (nha/p) weight ratios on particle size and its uniformity, cross-linking density and nh2 content of nano-hydroxyapatite/chitosan/gelatin (nha/c/g) microspheres were investigated. microspheres were fabricated using water-in-oil emulsion. cross-linking of microspheres was performed using water soluble carbodiimide. partic...

Entity resolution (record linkage or deduplication) is the process of identifying and linking duplicate records in databases. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian graphical approach for entity that links to latent entities, where prior representation on structure exchangeable. First, adopt flexible tractable set priors structure, which corresponds special class random partition models. Second, ...

Over time, the world population has developed a desire to research their ancestoral linage. Many resources have been identified to aid an individual in genealogical research. In the United States, one of the greatest resources for researching genealogy is census records. Census records allow a genealogical researcher to track individuals over time, broadening the scope of information one can ac...
