We show that a natural equilibrium is one in which highand low-skill managers pool in opaque funds, while medium-skill managers separate in transparent funds. In this equilibrium, high-skill managers rely on their eventual per...

This paper presents a discriminative alignment model for extracting abbreviations and their full forms appearing in actual text. The task of abbreviation recognition is formalized as a sequential alignment problem, which finds the optimal alignment (origins of abbreviation letters) between two strings (abbreviation and full form). We design a large amount of finegrained features that directly e...
