We describe a complete theorem proving procedure for higher-order logic that uses SAt-solving to do much of the heavy lifting. the theoretical basis for the procedure is a complete, cut-free, ground refutation calculu...

this poster paper presents a high-level description of the Metalogue projectthat is developing a multi-modal dialogue system that is able to implement interactive behaviors that seem natural to users and is flexible enough to exploitthe full potential of multimodal interaction. We provide an outline of the initial work undertaken to define a an open architecture for the integrated Metalogue system. this system includes components that are necessary for the implementation of the processing stages for a variety of application domains: initialization, training, information gathering, orchestration, multimodality, dialogue management, speech recognition, speech synthesis and user modelling.

the Internet of Services will facilitate cross-organizational collaboration by allowing companies to utilize services from external providers. Even though standard security mechanisms such as message encryption may be in place, attackers could create detailed profiles of service consumers, providers, and marketplaces by monitoring communication endpoints. this threatens the security objective of relationship anonymity and potentially permits sensitive information aboutthe underlying business processes or relationships between service consumers and providers to be revealed. While state-of-the-art countermeasures in the form of anonymity systems allow this problem to be addressed, they may have undesired side effects on the Quality of Service. this work provides a detailed empirical analysis of these side effects, based on an extensive measurement of the response time, availability, and throughput of representative, globally distributed services. Our experimental results are available to the interested public within the comprehensive dataset WS-Anon.

We propose a lexicalized formulation of dependency grammar that addresses both immediate dependence and linear precedence. Our approach distinguishes two orthogonal, yet mutually constraining dependency trees: an ID tree of syntactic dependencies and a LP tree of topological dependencies. the ID tree is non-ordered, non-projective and its edges are labeled by grammatical functions. the LP tree is ordered and projective and expresses licensed linearizations; its edges are labeled by topological fields. the LP tree can be regarded as deriving from the ID tree through a process of emancipation controlled by lexicalized constraints and principles. In the present article, we formalize valid ID/LP analyses and show how they can be characterized as the solutions of a constraint satisfaction problem. the latter can be solved by constraintprogramming and forms the basis of our implementation.

trees with labeled edges have widespread applicability, for examplefor the representation of dependency syntax trees. Given a fixednumber of nodes and constraints on how edges may be drawn betweenthem, the task of finding solution trees is known as a configurationproblem. In this paper, we formalize the configuration problem oflabeled trees and argue that it can be regarded as a constraintsatisfaction problem which can be solved directly and efficiently byconstraint propagation. In particular, we derive and prove correcta formulation of dependency parsing as a constraint satisfactionproblem. Our approach, based on constraints on finite sets and a new family of`selection' constraints, is especially well-suited for the compactrepresentation and efficient processing of ambiguity. We addressvarious issues of interestto the computational linguist such aslexical ambiguity, structural ambiguity, valency constraints,grammatical principles, and linear precedence. Finally we turn to thechallenge of efficient processing and characterize the servicesexpected of a constraintprogramming system: we define a formalconstraint language and specify its operational semantics withinference rules of propagation and distribution. this framework generalizes our presentation of immediate syntacticdependence for dependency parsing (Duchier, 1999a)and extends naturally to our corresponding treatment of linearprecedence (Duchier and Debusmann, 2001) based on a notion of topological ratherthan syntactic dependencies.

the Constraint Language for Lambda Structures (CLLS)is an expressive language of tree descriptions which combinesdominance constraints with powerful parallelism and bindingconstraints. CLLS was introduced as a uniform framework for definingunderspecified semantics representations of natural languagesentences, covering scope, ellipsis, and anaphora. this articlepresents saturation-based algorithms for processing the completelanguage of CLLS. It also gives an overview of previous results on questions of processing and complexity.
