We present a random-walk-based approach to learning paraphrases from bilingual parallel corpora. The corpora are represented as a graph in which a node corresponds to a phrase, and an edge exists between two nodes if their corresponding phrases are aligned in a phrase table. We sample random walks to compute the average number of steps it takes to reach a ranking of paraphrases with better ones...

Burch und Kohn haben in [4] bzw. [7] folgendes bewiesen: R sei ein kommutativer noetherscher Ring und n eine natiirliche Zahl, die homologische Dimension eines torsionslosen R-Moduls ist; dann existiert ein von hiichstens drei Elementen erzeugtes Ideal in R, dessen homologische Dimension gleich n ist. Buchsbaum und Eisenbud [3, p. 135, Conjecture, vgl. such Theorem 7.21 vermuten sogar, ‘jede” e...

We extend the Burch and Dill flushing technique [6] for formal verification of microprocessors to be applicable to designs where the functional units and memories have multicycle and possibly arbitrary latency. We also show ways to incorporate exceptions and branch prediction by exploiting the properties of the logic of Positive Equality with Uninterpreted Functions [4][5]. We study the modelin...

When the person with a stoma is in hospital, they will be taught about the practical care of their stoma and, anecdotally, this is their main focus (Burch, 2008). Being discharged home with a good understanding of the newly-formed stoma is essential to ensure that patients can have a positive effect on their own quality of life (Danielsen et al, 2013), as well as adjusting to their new body ima...

The current state and future of the Tropical Resources Institute (TRI) in our School and University is enviable in this era of academic retrenchment and uncertainty. Endowment now provides funds for internships, the Directorship, and related scholarships. We have an excellent leader; Dr. Florencia Montagnini, John M. Musser Director of the Tropical Resources Institute, is building a dynamic pro...
