—Inferring latent structures from observations helps to model and possibly also understand underlying data generating processes. A rich class of latent structures are the latent ...

This paper describes a novel approach towards the empirical approximation of discourse relations between different utterances in texts. Following the idea that every pair of event...
We present the Buffer Heap (BH), a cache-oblivious priority queue that supports Delete-Min, Delete, and Decrease-Key operations in O( 1 B log2 N B ) amortized block transfers fro...
