This paper investigates two areas of coreference resolution—specialization and cataphoricity. In doing so I attempt to build upon an existing state-of-the-art system to achieve greater performance. Coreference systems utilizing specialization of models and specialization of features have both been previously proposed, but no investigation has been made as to their relative effectiveness or poss...

Job-shop scheduling is an important but difficult problem arising in low-volume high-variety manufacturing. It usually solved at the beginning of each shift with strict computational time requirements. To obtain near-optimal solutions quantifiable quality within limits, a direction to formulate them Integer Linear Programming (ILP) form so as take advantages widely available ILP methods such Br...
