Adaptive Process Management: An AI Perspective
In an effort to encourage the exchange of ideas, this paper explores how techniques from intelligent reactive control might be leveraged to provide adaptivity within workflow technologies, while also acknowledging…

Multistrategy learning for information extraction
We describe three different multistrategy approaches. Experiments on two IE domains a collection of electronic seminar announcements from a university computer science department and a set of newswire articles describing…

Toward An Integration Of The Social And The Scientific; Observing, Modeling, And Promoting The Explanatory Coherence Of Reasoning
Is scientific reasoning more likely to employ formal tools and/or more likely to involve the vigilant search for disconfirmation—something that just plain folk do, but less frequently?

Can Prosody Aid the Automatic Classification of Dialog Acts in Conversational Speech?
This study asks whether current approaches, which use mainly word information, could be improved by adding prosodic information. The study is based on more than 1000 conversations from the Switchboard…

Automatic Detection of Discourse Structure for Speech Recognition and Understanding
We describe a new approach for statistical modeling and detection of discourse structure for natural conversational speech. Our model is based on 42 `Dialog Acts' (DAs), (question, answer, backchannel, agreement,…

Using Information Extraction to Improve Information Retrieval
The authors describe an approach to applying a particular kind of Natural Language Processing NLP system to the TREC routing task in Information Retrieval IR.

A Prosody-Only Decision-Tree Model for Disfluency Detection
We have developed a disfluency detection method using decision tree classifiers that use only local and automatically extracted prosodic features. Because the model doesn't rely on lexical information, it is…
