English. We present a novel algorithm and a linguistic resource named CLOSEST after ‘Common SEnse STrainer’. The resource contains a list of the main senses associated to a given term, and it was obtained by applying a simple set of pruning heuristics to the senses provided in the NASARI vectors for the set of 15K most frequent English terms. The preliminary experimentation provided encouraging...

" As long as I count the votes, what are you going to do about it? " –William Marcy " Boss " Tweed I write this in Menlo Park, California, on 5 October 2003, when it's still unclear whether the citizens of this state will choose to have the American governor with the best pectoral muscles , despite his seeming to have the same trouble with the multiple meanings of " respect for women " that Bil...

This report uses hypothetical decommissioning test cases to illustrate an uncertainty assessment methodology for dose assessments conducted as part of decommissioning analyses for NRC-licensed facilities. This methodology was pre sented previously in NUREG/CR-6656. The hypothetical test case source term and scenarios are based on an actual decommissioning case and the physical setting is based ...

Planning landmarks are facts that must be true at some point in every solution plan. Previous work has very successfully exploited planning landmarks in satisficing (non-optimal) planning. We propose a methodology for deriving admissible heuristic estimates for cost-optimal planning from a set of planning landmarks. The resulting heuristics fall into a novel class of multi-path dependent heuris...

In this paper we prove an upper semicontinuity result for perturbations of cocycle attractors. In particular, we study relationship between non-autonomous and global attractors. In this sense, we show that the concept of a cocycle attractor is a sensible generalization to non-autonomous and random dynamical systems of that of the global attractor.

A tree transformation is sensible if the size of each output tree is uniformly bounded by a linear function in the size of the corresponding input tree. Every sensible tree transformation computed by an arbitrary weighted extended top-down tree transducer can also be computed by a weighted multi bottom-up tree transducer. This further motivates weighted multi bottom-up tree transducers as suita...
