We present an experiment in improving the output of an off-the-shelf module that performs segmentation and tagging, the tokenizer-tagger from Beijing University (PKU).

In this paper we present a human-based evaluation of surface realisation alternatives.

This paper introduces an energy-efficient data collection technique that takes advantage of spatial and temporal data correlation for monitoring continuously changing conditions such as temperature, humidity, rain fall, radiation, substance…

We present an approach that takes advantage of multi-packet reception (MPR) to reduce the negative effects of multiple access interference and therefore increase the capacity of an ad hoc network.

New models of information-seeking support systems offer two advantages: they move us from prescientific conceptual frameworks about information seeking to more rigorous scientific theories and predictive models while, at the…

This brief position paper illustrates the power of this approach in PARCs Bridge system through examples of textual inference.

In this paper, we consider a new notion called predicate privacy, that is, the property that a token should not reveal information about the query predicate encoded in it.

This article addresses the problem of learning situation models for providing context-aware services.

The following topics in information security were discussed: information security economics, anonymity and privacy, private computation, authentication and identification, passwords, fraud detection, cryptographic applications, etc.

In this presentation we will describe and illustrate a fundamentally new design of the optical detection system that delivers high effective sensitivity (i.e., high signal to noise discrimination) without complex…
