Coreference resolution systems can benefit greatly from inclusion of global context, and a number of recent approaches have demonstrated improvements when precomputing an alignment to external knowledge sources. However, since alignment itself is a challenging task and is often noisy, existing systems either align conservatively, resulting in very few links, or combine the attributes of multipl...

In this study, the influence of objects is investigated in the scenario of human action recognition with large number of classes. We hypothesize that the objects the humans are interacting will have good say in determining the action being performed. Especially, if the objects are non-moving, such as objects appearing in the background, features such as spatiotemporal interest points, dense tra...

A prior study found that on average there are 6.3 named mentions of organizations found in email messages from the Enron collection, only about half of which could be linked to known entities in Wikipedia (Gao et al., 2014). That suggests a need for collection-specific approaches to entity linking, similar to those have proven successful for person mentions. This paper describes a process for a...

In graph cleaning problems, brushes clean a graph by traversing it subject to certain rules. Various problems arise, such as determining the minimum number of brushes that are required to clean the entire graph. This number is called the brushing number. Here, we study a new variant of the brushing problem in which one vertex is cleaned at a time, but more than one brush may traverse a dirty ed...

A direct link between the topological complexity of ferromagnetic media and their dynamics has recently been established through the construction of unambiguous conservation laws as moments of a topological vorticity. In the present paper we carry out this program under completely realistic conditions, with due account of the long-range magnetostatic field and related boundary effects. In parti...

To be considered a socially entrepreneurial organization today requires achieving what can be termed a “hybrid middle ground” equilibrium, comprising of economic as well as social sustainability. This middle ground requires some blend of both business and social commitments. In this paper, we use the case of Hungary's second ranked mobile operator, Telenor Hungary to illustrate an example of a ...

In this paper, we present a strong correlation of the gamma-ray (above 100MeV) luminosity with the far-infrared (60μm from IRAS) luminosity for 17 blazars detected by EGRET aboard CGRO. This indicates that the gamma-ray and far-infrared emission are both beamed and suggests a direct link between them. This suggestion is also supported by the identical dominance of energy budget and the rapid ti...

Existing models of price search presume a direct link between knowledge and search behavior. We argue that these models are not well suited to more habitual, low involvement purchase situations where search behavior and price knowledge are more independent. An alternative, adaptive rationality model is proposed in which these constructs are only indirectly related. An empirical study of Finnish...

This paper describes the system of HIT at the 2011 Text Analysis Conference (TAC) Knowledge Base Population (KBP) track English Entity Linking task. Based on structured and unstructured information extracted from Wikipedia, this system predicts the most probable entity that a query mention might refer to. A similarity score is assigned to the candidate entity by computing the the relatedness be...
