Intergroup conflicts are often regulated by negotiating group representatives, who are influenced by constituent pressures. We examined how within-constituent disagreement influences representative negotiations. In a 2 x 2 experiment, the majority of constituents was either hawkish or dovish vis-àvis the out-group, and the minority had either low or high status. After being exposed to constitue...

A b s t r a c t Wi th th t emergence of broad-coverage parsers, quan­ titative evaluation of parsers becomes increasingly more important We propose a dependency-based method for evaluating broad-coverage parsers The method offers several advantages over previous methods that are based on phrase boundaries The error count score WL propose here is not only more mtui t ivt lv meaningful than other...

Abstract. We introduce a methodology for generalizing Data Envelopment Analysis to incorporate the role and impact of constituencies in the classification of the model’s attributes. Constituencies determine whether entities’ attributes in a DEA study are treated as desirable or undesirable. This extension of DEA is the basis for a methodology to answer questions that arise such as: Which consti...

Abstract A common objection to political liberalism is that since reasonable citizens agree some ways of life are worse than others – for instance the a drug addict less worthwhile person who spends her time with family and philosophy liberals must concede state can sometimes permissibly use perfectionist reasons. I argue in this paper challenge mistaken, because comparison only tells us someth...

It is a well-known intuition that human sentence understanding works in an incremental fashion, with a seemingly constant update of the interpretation through the left-to-right processing of a string. Such intuitions are backed up by experimental evidence dating from at least as far back as Marslen-Wilson (1973), showing that under many circumstances, interpretations are indeed updated very qui...

Why is it difficult for Brazilian civil society organizations to stop the shift of Brazil’s positions in international human rights arenas? does dimension foreign policy suffer from changes brought by Bolsonaro’s government? Based on new rational choice institutionalism and analysis, this study analyzes policy, with a special focus gender issues. Our hypotheses are that (1) illiberal government...

The aim of the EVALITA Parsing Task (EPT) is at defining and extending Italian state-of-the-art parsing by encouraging the application of existing models and approaches, comparing paradigms and annotation formats. Therefore, in all the editions, held respectively in 2007, 2009 and 2011, the Task has been organized around two tracks, namely Dependency Parsing and Constituency Parsing, exploiting...

Discourse parsing has long been treated as a stand-alone problem independent from constituency or dependency parsing. Most attempts at this problem are pipelined rather than end-to-end, sophisticated, and not self-contained: they assume goldstandard text segmentations (Elementary Discourse Units), and use external parsers for syntactic features. In this paper we propose the first end-to-end dis...
