In this paper we investigate the efficiency of – subsumption (` ), the basic provability relation in ILP. As D ` C is NP–complete even if we restrict ourselves to linked Horn clauses and fix C to contain only a small constant number of literals, we investigate in several restrictions of D. We first adapt the notion of determinate clauses used in ILP and show that –subsumption is decidable in po...

In this paper we present a corpus study and a sentence completion experiment designed to evaluate the discourse prominence of entities evoked in relative clauses. The corpus study shows a preference for referring expressions after a sentence final relative clause to select a matrix clause entity as their antecedents. In the sentence completion experiment, we evaluated the potential effect of he...

The topic of the void was of significant philosophical and scientific importance in the ancient and medieval world. Some, such as the atomists, maintained that the void was essential if one were to explain motion. Others, such as Aristotle, argued that the existence of the void would absolutely preclude the possibility of motion. Moreover, there were disputes concerning even how to characterize...

ABSTRACT Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAOs) studies based on the clustering of voids and matter tracers provide important constraints cosmological parameters related to expansion Universe. However, modelling void exclusion effect is an challenge for fully exploiting potential this kind analyses. We thus develop two numerical methods describe cosmic voids. Neither model requires additional in...

Based on the results from three Event-Related Potential (ERP) studies, we show how the degree of grammaticalization of prosodic features influences their impact on syntactic and morphological processing. Thus, results indicate that only lexicalized word accents influence morphological processing. Furthermore, it is shown how an assumed semi-grammaticalized left-edge boundary tone activates main...

We examine the impact of givenness on argument realization in a small text corpus of Yucatec folk narratives (660 clause-like units). We find that the default devices for the extension of topic chains are bare cross-reference markers. Weightier expressions – free pronouns, demonstrative proforms, clause-mate co-nominals, and left-dislocated pro-forms or nominals – are used for disambiguation am...

There is certainly a lot of discussion about digital technologies, their transformative nature, and potentially disruptive impact on business society. The number publications technologies management have risen dramatically. This paper's main objective to draw attention practical research-related views what we know still need learn in the era. We do so by combining insights obtained from intervi...
