Higher-order recursion schemes are equations defining recursively new operations from given ones called “terminals”. Every such recursion scheme is proved to have a least inte...
We propose a semantic tagger that provides high level concept information for phrases based on several kinds of low level information about words in clinical narrative texts. The ...
DTD and its instance have been considered the standard for data representation and information exchange format on the current web. However, when coming to the next generation of w...
