In this paper we explore the idea that the code that constitutes a program actually forms a higher-level, program specific language. The symbols of the language are the abstracti...
We regard answer extraction of Question Answering (QA) system as a classification problem, classifying answer candidate sentences into positive or negative. To confirm the feasibil...
We propose a high-performance cascaded hybrid model for Chinese NER. Firstly, we use Boosting, a standard and theoretically wellfounded machine learning method to combine a set of...
We propose two hashing-based solutions to the problem of fast and effective personal names spelling correction in People Search applications. The key idea behind our methods is to...
We propose a generic method for obtaining quickly good upper bounds on the minimal value of a multistage stochastic program. The method is based on the simulation of a feasible dec...
