چکیده

We present an efficient algorithm for the redundancy elimination problem: Given an underspecified semantic representation (USR) of a scope ambiguity, compute an USR with fewer mutually equivalent readings. The algorithm operates on underspecified chart representations which are derived from dominance graphs; it can be applied to the USRs computed by largescale grammars. We evaluate the algorithm on a corpus, and show that it reduces the degree of ambiguity significantly while taking negligible runtime.

Towards a redundancy elimination algorithm for underspecified descriptions

This paper proposes an efficient algorithm for the redundancy elimination problem: Given an underspecified semantic representation (USR), compute an USR which has fewer readings, but still describes at least one representative of each semantic equivalence class of the original readings. The algorithm operates on underspecified chart representations which are derived from dominance graphs; it ca...

Towards a redundancy elimination algorithm for underspecified descriptions

Dependency Tree Semantics (DTS) is an underspecified formalism for representing quantifier scope ambiguities in natural language. DTS features a direct interface with a Dependency grammar and an incremental, constraint-based disambiguation mechanism. In this paper, we discuss the meaning of quantifier dependency in DTS by translating its well formed structures into formulae of a Second Order Lo...

An Improved Tabu Search Algorithm for Job Shop Scheduling Problem Trough Hybrid Solution Representations

Job shop scheduling problem (JSP) is an attractive field for researchers and production managers since it is a famous problem in many industries and a complex problem for researchers. Due to NP-hardness property of this problem, many meta-heuristics are developed to solve it. Solution representation (solution seed) is an important element for any meta-heuristic algorithm. Therefore, many resear...

A redundancy allocation problem with the choice of redundancy strategies by a memetic algorithm

This paper proposes an efficient algorithm based on memetic algorithm (MA) for a redundancy allocation problem without component mixing (RAPCM) in a series-parallel system when the redundancy strategy can be chosen for individual subsystems. Majority of the solution methods for the general RAPCM assume that the type of a redundancy strategy for each subsystem is pre-determined and known a prior...

Using NSGA II Algorithm for a Three Objectives Redundancy Allocation Problem with k-out-of-n Sub-Systems

in the new production systems, finding a way to improving the product and system reliability in design is a very important. The reliability of the products and systems may improve using different methods. One of this methods is redundancy allocation problem. In this problem by adding redundant component to sub-systems under some constraints, the reliability improved. In this paper we worked on ...
