Wright, Scott D. | Pilgrim in the land of big G and little G - a review essay | It used to be said the life is short and art is long, but now in our supposed high point for the era of the ?scientific management of aging? (Cole, 1992), our goal is instead ? the art of living longer. Our current landscape for understanding the experience of aging is representing by the following... | Aging; Longevity; Book review | 2010 |

Bruderlin, Beat | Robust regularized set operations on polyhedra | This paper describes a provably correct and robust implementation of regularized set operations on polyhedral objects. Although the algorithm described here does not assume manifold polyhedra and handles all possible degenerate cases, it turns out to be quite simple. The geometric operations and rel... | Robust regularized set operations | 1990 |

Riloff, Ellen M. | Unified model of phrasal and sentential evidence for information extraction | Information Extraction (IE) systems that extract role fillers for events typically look at the local context surrounding a phrase when deciding whether to extract it. Often, however, role fillers occur in clauses that are not directly linked to an event word. We present a new model for event extract... | Information extraction; Phrasal evidence; Sentential evidence; Role fillers; Event extraction; Sentential event recognizer; Plausible roll-filler recognizer | 2009 |
