Z3 is a state-of-the-art SMT (Satisfiability Modulo Theories) solver available from Microsoft Research. It is used as a logic engine in several program analysis, test-generation and verification systems. Z3 exposes a number of APIs for these applications, but is in itself a low-level tool. We discuss the design trade-offs we have faced and different ways we lower the barrier of entry to use Z3....

Bolitoglossa meliana, a new species from the mountains of central Guatemala, is described and assigned to the B. franklini group. Electrophoretic comparisons with the other species in the group confirm the distinctiveness of B. meliana, but cause us to question the validity of B. brevipes and B. nigroflavescens, which are hereby synonymized with B. franklini. Plio-Pleistocene tectonic and clima...

Image analysis is a rapidly evolving and increasingly utilized tool in research and clinical histology. It enables high throughput analysis of a large number of samples, offering the potential of increased precision, plus reduced workload for pathologists, teachers and researchers alike. The ability of slide scanners to create high resolution whole slide images (WSI) of tissue sections gives ri...

We consider an i.i.d. state-dependent channel with partial (rate limited) channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter (CSIT) and full CSI at the receiver (CSIR). The CSIT comprises a non-causal rate limited part, which is communicated by a third party (a genie) over a way-side channel, and may also include outputs of a deterministic scalar quantizer of the state. A single letter expressi...

This paper presents a novel approach to discourse analysis within information extraction systems. It makes use of DRT as formal representation of the linguistic context as well as of a domain-specific ontology as a basis to compute conceptual relations between extracted events thus establishing discourse coherence. The approach has been implemented within GenIE, an information extraction system...

This paper presents preliminary results of an empirical study to investigate effects of adding affective argumentation to the GenIE Assistant, an implemented proof-of-concept computational model of normative biomedical argument generation. The Assistant has been implemented in the domain of genetic counseling, a domain where human writers are advised to show empathy in addition to presenting cl...
