We present a tutorial system for language learners, using a computational grammar augmented with mal-rules for analysis, error diagnosis, and semantics-centered generation of corrected forms. Corrections are produced using a novel strategy of

The notion of treewidth has seen to be a powerful vehicle for many graph algorithmic studies. This survey paper wants to give an overview of many classes of graphs that can be seen to have a uniform upper bound on the treewidth of graphs in the class. Also, some mutual relations between such classes are discussed.

We describe a method for generating location estimates for a photograph by automatically matching it to satellite imagery. First, a user labels interest points in the photograph corresponding to stationary objects also identifiable from the air. We show how to compute robust invariants which can be matched against a large database of satellite views, and we evaluate several invariants on simula...
