We report a polynomial time SAT problem instance, the Blocked SAT problem. A blocked clause set, an instance of the Blocked SAT problem, contains only blocked clauses. A close is blocked (for resolution) if it has a literal on which no resolution is possible in the clause set. We know from work of O. Kullmann that a blocked clause can be added or deleted from a clause set without changing its s...

Violent felonies are b...

SGGS (Semantically-Guided Goal-Sensitive theorem proving) is a clausal theorem-proving method, with a seemingly rare combination of properties: it is first order, DPLL-style model based, semantically guided, goal sensitive, and proof confluent.

Hence, the need for a set of general criteria that are able to support the comparison between formulæ. Th...

Bi-text alignment is useful to many Natural Language Processing tasks such as machine translation, bilingual lexicography and word sense disambiguation. This paper presents a Chinese-Japanese alignment at the level of clause. After describing some characteristics in Chinese-Japanese bilingual texts, we first investigate some statistical properties of Chinese-Japanese bilingual corpus, including...
