This paper presents a salience-based technique for the annotation of directly quoted speech from fiction text. In particular, this paper determines to what extent a naïve (without the use of complex machine learning or knowledge-based techniques) scoring technique can be used for the identification of the speaker of speech quotes. The presented technique makes use of a scoring technique, simila...

My first brush with the issue of humanity in medical field was when I read this quote, a few months back, put up by a prestigious international journal for an essay writing competition. As I read that quote, it stirred my conscience. And although I almost instantaneously quelled the desire to write on it, thinking my chances of winning an essay contest too slim to bother with, it set me thinkin...

We study multi-unit double auctions accepting bids with indivisibility constraints. We propose different price-quote policies and study their influence on the efficiency of market-based allocation. Using a reconfigurable manufacturing scenario where agents trade large quantities of multiple goods, we demonstrate potential benefits of supporting indivisibility constraints in bidding. These benef...

Introduction.?This is a comparatively rare condition and we have been able to find only one case which has been reported as occurring in an Indian patient. Raj an and Rangiah (1941) described a case with the typical triad of urethritis, polyarthritis and skin lesions. Sutton and Sutton in their classical book on skin diseases have excellent illustrations of the skin condition and quote Roth (19...

We quote arguments from discussions about relativistic nuclear physics for a claim that the light-front Hamiltonian approach and the similarity renormalization scheme may provide a missing element in a theory of baryons and mesons. The key point is that the meson-baryon vertex form factors can be correlated with the number and type of interaction terms in the Hamiltonian, in agreement with quan...

When using the Curry-Howard correspondence in order to obtain executable programs from mathematical proofs, we are faced with a difficult problem : to interpret each axiom of our axiom system for mathematics (which may be, for example, second order classical logic, or classical set theory) as an instruction of our programming language. This problem has been solved for the axiom of excluded midd...
