The automatic extraction of relations between entities expressed in natural language text is an important problem for IR and text understanding. In this paper we show how differen...
We describe an algebra for composing automata in which the actions have probabilities. We illustrate by showing how to calculate the probability of reaching deadlock in k steps in...

This paper presents a framework for combining semantic relations extracted from text to reveal even more semantics that otherwise would be missed. A set of 26 relations is introdu...

We present a simple approach for implementing flexible locking strategies in a system of components, which may themselves be composite objects. The approach is flexible in that a ...
In the setting of concurrent self composition, a single protocol is executed many times concurrently by a single set of parties. In this paper, we prove lower bounds and impossibi...
