String transformation systems have been introduced in (Brill, 1995) and have several applications in natural language processing. In this work we consider the computational proble...
Query optimizers that explore a search space exhaustively using transformation rules usually apply all possible rules on each alternative, and stop when no new information is prod...
Abstract Set boolean operations between 2-dlmensional geometric objects are crucial in computational geometry and deserve rigorous treatments. We build up a simple and convergent s...
In a comprehensive study of methods for dealing with the problem of the initial transient, Hoad et al. (2008) determined that the MSER (White, 1997) was an efficient and effective...
Successful applications of digital libraries require structured access to sources of information. This paper presents an approach to extract the logical structure of text document...
