One important issue when constructing Information Extraction systems is how to obtain the knowledge needed for identifying relevant information in a document. In most approaches to this issue, the human expert intervention is necessary in many steps of the acquisition process. In this paper we describe ESSENCE, a new methodology that reduces significantly the need for human intervention. It is ...

This paper introduces a distinctive approach to methods development in digital social research called “interface methods.” We begin by discussing various methodological confluences between digital media, social studies of science and technology (STS) and sociology. Some authors have posited significant overlap between, on the one hand, sociological and STS concepts, and on the other hand, the o...

The goal of the tutorial is to give an overview of the newest unified design methodology of continuous-time or discretetime nonlinear control systems which guarantees desired transient performances in the presence of plant parameter variations and unknown external disturbances. The tutorial presents the up-to-date coverage of fundamental issues and recent research developments in design of nonl...
