New Results for the Heterogeneous Multi-Processor Scheduling Problem using a Fast, Effective Local Search and Random Disruption
John Levine, Graeme Ritchie, Alastair Andrew +1
The efficient scheduling of independent computational tasks in a heterogeneous computing environment is an important problem that occurs in domains such as Grid and Cloud computing…
Time, Tense and Aspect in Natural Language Database Interfaces
I. Androutsopoulos, G. D. Ritchie, P. Thanisch
Most existing natural language database interfaces (NLDBs) were designed to be used with database systems that provide very limited facilities for manipulating time-dependent data,…
A Framework for Natural Language Interfaces to Temporal Databases
I. Androutsopoulos, G. D. Ritchie, P. Thanisch
Over the past thirty years, there has been considerable progress in the design of natural language interfaces to databases. Most of this work has concerned snapshot databases, in w…
Natural Language Interfaces to Databases - An Introduction
I. Androutsopoulos, G. D. Ritchie, P. Thanisch
This paper is an introduction to natural language interfaces to databases (NLIDBs). A brief overview of the history of NLIDBs is first given. Some advantages and disadvantages of N…
An implemented model of punning riddles
Kim Binsted, Graeme Ritchie
In this paper, we discuss a model of simple question-answer punning, implemented in a program, JAPE, which generates riddles from humour-independent lexical entries. The model uses…
A symbolic description of punning riddles and its computer implementation
Kim Binsted, Graeme Ritchie
Riddles based on simple puns can be classified according to the patterns of word, syllable or phrase similarity they depend upon. We have devised a formal model of the semantic and…
