TACITUS: Research In Text Understanding

The aim of the TACITUS project is to develop a general, domain-independent capability for text understanding that allows for variable levels of analysis, depending on the requirements of the task. Four stages of processing are being developed: preprocessing, syntactic analysis, inferential pragmatics processing, and template generation. Template generation is a straightforward programming task,...

TACITUS: A Message Understanding System

TACITUS is a general and domain-independent natural language processing system, used so far primarily for message processing. It performs a syntactic analysis of the sentences in the text, producing a logical form. Next, inferential pragmatics processing is applied to the logical form to solve problems of schema recognition, reference resolution, metonymy resolution, and the interpretation of v...

Overview of the TACITUS Project

1 Aims of the Project The specific aim of the TACITUS project is to develop interpretation processes for handling casualty reports (casreps), which are messages in free-flowing text about breakdowns of machinery. 1 These interpretation processes will be an essential component, and indeed the principal component, of systems for automatic message routing and systems for the automatic extraction o...

A Note on Twists of (y^2=x^3+1)

‎‎In the category of Mordell curves (E_D:y^2=x^3+D) with nontrivial torsion groups we find curves of the generic rank two as quadratic twists of (E_1), ‎and of the generic rank at least two and at least three as cubic twists of (E_1). ‎Previous work‎, ‎in the category of Mordell curves with trivial torsion groups‎, ‎has found infinitely many elliptic curves with ...
