The design of the template for an infonnation extraction application (or exercise) reflects the nature of the task and therefore crucially affects the success of the attempt to capture infonnation from text. This paper addresses the template design requirement by discussing the general principles or desiderata of template design, object-oriented vs. flat template design, and template definition...

This panel highlights a selection of the most interesting and provocative papers from the 2002 New Security Paradigms Workshop. This workshop was held September 2002 the URL for more information is . The panel consists of authors of the selected papers, and the session is moderated by the workshop’s general chairs. We present selected papers focusing on exciting major theme...

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled: "Information strategies for energy conservation: a field experiment in India" (Chen et al., 2017) [1]. The availability of high-resolution electricity data offers benefits to both utilities and consumers to understand the dynamics of energy consumption for example, between billing periods or times of peak demand. H...

We present a new algorithm for finding low-complexity neural networks with high generalization capability. The algorithm searches for a "flat" minimum of the error function. A flat minimum is a large connected region in weight space where the error remains approximately constant. An MDL-based, Bayesian argument suggests that flat minima correspond to "simple" networks and low expected overfitti...

We study matching in flat theories both from theoretical and practical points of view. A flat theory is defined by the axiom f(x, f(y), z) . = f(x, y, z) that indicates that nested occurrences of the function symbol f can be flattened out. From the theoretical side, we design a procedure to solve a system of flat matching equations and prove its soundness, completeness, and minimality. The mini...

In recent years, public interest in aged apartment remodeling has come to rise in Korea with the government’s strict regulation to restrict apartment reconstruction. To meet the rising demands on apartment remodeling, we attempt in this paper to develop an analytical research and schematic application of extension types for domestic apartment building stocks. Our research adopts a typological a...

Motivated by recent increases in population density and changes in urban development patterns, I give an update to Schelling’s landmark spatial segregation model. Inspired by the rapid construction of high-rise condominiums and apartments, I show a correlation between population density and racial diversity in San Diego neighborhoods. Using this as a basis, I give a modified high-density versio...
