In this paper we describe the IIT KGP team’s participation in the Event Extraction task at FIRE 2017. We have developed an event extraction system which can extract event-phrases from tweets written in Indian language scripts along with Roman script. We designed our system on Hindi language and then used the same system for Malayalam and Tamil languages. We have submitted two systems one uses p...

This paper provides a unified solution to two puzzles involving vagueness and scalar adjectives of the absolute lexical class (ex. bald, empty, straight etc.). The first puzzle concerns the proper analysis of the relationship between contextual effects associated with absolute adjectives and those associated with relative adjectives like tall, long or expensive. The dominant view in philosophy ...

Introduction. To select the best group, and to make a good decision, are of the most important worries of the health and medical education ministry and also all entrants in the residency test. Having and performing a reliable and good exam will reduce doubts to a great deal. Considering different scientific methods consist of (precisely review of curriculum by the designer committee, sampling o...

In this paper, five conditions that have been proposed by Cobb and Shenoy are studied for nine different mappings from the Dempster-Shafer theory to the probability theory. After comparing these mappings, one of the considerable results indicates that none of the mappings satisfies the condition of invariance with respect to the marginalization process. In more details, the main reason for this...

Define the middle layer graph as the graph whose vertex set consists of all bitstrings of length 2n + 1 that have exactly n or n + 1 entries equal to 1, with an edge between any two vertices for which the corresponding bitstrings differ in exactly one bit. The middle levels conjecture asserts that this graph has a Hamilton cycle for every n ≥ 1. This conjecture originated probably with Havel, B...

The generalization of the concept of homogeneous gravitational field from Classical Mechanics was considered in the framework of Einstein’s General Relativity by Bogorodskii. In this paper, I look for such a generalization in the framework of the Relativistic Theory of Gravitation. There exist a substantial difference between the solutions in these two theories. Unfortunately, the solution obta...

The bosonic second invariant of SuperLiouville models in supersymmetric classical mechanics is described.

just war theory can be found in almost all major cultures. but since war was a business that could not be easily stopped, some aimed to constrain it. in its classic form, just war theory has been around for several centuries—ever since nationhood in europe replaced provincial governments. having made some introductory considerations, i will ask: should just war theory be left as it is, changed,...
