Efficiently scheduling large number of jobs over large-scale distributed systems is critical in achieving high system utilization and throughput. Today’s state-of-the-art job management systems have predominantly Master/Slaves architectures, which have inherent limitations, such as scalability issues at extreme scales (e.g. petascales and beyond) and single point of failure. In designing the ne...

Pancratium venkaiahii is described as a new species from Eastern Ghats of India. It closely allied to P. st-mariae. A comprehensive description with photo substantiation and comparison table are provided.

This paper describes an ensemble system submitted as part of the LSDSem Shared Task 2017 the Story Cloze Test. The main conclusion from our results is that an approach based on semantic similarity alone may not be enough for this task. We test various approaches and compare them with two ensemble systems. One is based on voting and the other on logistic regression based classifier. Our final sy...

We present our approach to the CL-SciSumm 2016 shared task. We propose a technique to determine the discourse role of a sentence. We differentiate between words linked to the topic of the paper and the ones that link to the facet of the scientific discourse. Using that information, histograms are built over the training data to infer a facet for each sentence of the paper (result, method, aim, ...

We considered a wide range of features for the DiSCo 2011 shared task about compositionality prediction for word pairs, including COALS-based endocentricity scores, compositionality scores based on distributional clusters, statistics about wordnet-induced paraphrases, hyphenation, and the likelihood of long translation equivalents in other languages. Many of the features we considered correlate...

There are three tasks in the Terabyte track of TREC 2005, i.e. Efficiency, Ad hoc and Named page finding. We participated in all the tasks and used different retrieval methods to deal with each task, aiming to vary the retrieval method according to the different characteristics of different tasks.

In this paper, we describe the UKP Lab system participating in the HOO 2012 Shared Task on preposition and determiner error correction. Our focus was to implement a highly flexible and modular system which can be easily augmented by other researchers. The system might be used to provide a level playground for subsequent shared tasks and enable further progress in this important research field o...
