We present a combinatorial characterization of the Bethe entropy function of a factor graph, such a characterization being in contrast to the original, analytical, definition of th...
tions arise for standoff annotation when the annotation is not on the source text itself, but on a more abstract representation. This is particularly the case in a language such a...
Background: Computational methods for problem solving need to interleave information access and algorithm execution in a problem-specific workflow. The structures of these workflo...
Standard algorithms for template-based information extraction (IE) require predefined template schemas, and often labeled data, to learn to extract their slot fillers (e.g., an ...
We study inference rules for multivalued dependencies in relational databases with null values (NMVDs). The definition of NMVDs is dependent on the underlying relation schema and ...
