We solve the problem of obtaining answers to queries posed to a mediated integration system un der the local-as-view paradigm that are consistent wrt to certain global integrity...
Compilability is a fundamental property of knowledge representation formalisms which captures how succinctly information can be expressed. Although many results concerning compila...
In fields such as medicine, geography, and mechanics, spatial reasoning involves reasoning about entities—for example cavities and invading particles—that may coincide without...
In this paper we propose the framework of Monte Carlo algorithms as a useful one to analyze ensemble learning. In particular, this framework allows one to guess when bagging will ...
Previous algorithms to compute lexical chains suffer either from a lack of accuracy in word sense disambiguation (WSD) or from computational inefficiency. In this paper, we presen...
