We propose a method to adapt an existing relation extraction system to extract new relation types with minimum supervision. Our proposed method comprises two stages: learning a lo...
In this paper we present an adaptive method for graphic symbol representation based on shape contexts. The proposed descriptor is invariant under classical geometric transforms (r...
For European languages, n-gram has proved to be the cost effective alternative to morphological processing during indexing task and it has been studied and analyzed extensively us...
