These notes were written for the workshop on the Theta correspondence held at the University of Maryland, May 1994. They have circulated informally for many years. Except for minor changes and some improvements to the references they have not been changed. There have been too many developments in the field since 1994 to try to bring them up to date.

We have included some notes on alternatives provided by ...

We describe an algorithm for the factorization of non-commutative polynomials over a field. The first sketch of this algorithm appeared in an unpublished manuscript (literally hand written notes) by James H. Davenport more than 20 years ago. This version of the algorithm contains some improvements with respect to the original sketch. An improved version of the algorithm has been fully implement...

After a brief description of the instruments with current Spanish participation (D1B and D15), it will be presented the project of construction of ...

This working notes describe the experiments we conducted in the Microblog Cultural Contextualization Lab [2] of CLEF 2017 [3]. The microblog data is composed of very short texts, with very heterogeneous styles. Some of them are written in more than one language. We decided to takle the entity recognition problem by using a non-statistical, dictionary-based, multiword term extractor. On the othe...
