The 14 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper were carefully selected during two round of reviewing and revision from 22...

Syntax-Based Collocation Extraction is the first book to offer a comprehensive, up-to-date review of the theoretical and applied work on word collocations. Backed by solid theoretical results, the computational experiments described based on data in four languages provide support for the book’s basic argument for using syntax-driven...

Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP) prove to be a generic framework which can be applied for modeling and solving a wide range...

The 2010 Asian Conference on Computer Vision took place in the southern hemisphere, in “The Land of the Long White Cloud” in Maori language, also known as New Zealand, in the beautiful town of Queenstown. If we try to segment the world we realize that New Zealand does not belong officially to any continent. Similarly, in computer...

When in 1986 Yves Kodratoff started the European Working Session on Learning at Orsay, France, it could not be foreseen that the conference would grow year by year and become the premier European conference of the field, attracting submissions from all over the world. The first European Conference on Principles of Data Mining and Knowledge...

After 40 years of practice and theory in compiler construction and 30 years of experience and teaching in software engineering we still observe that safetycritical high-level language programs are certified only together with the corresponding machine code. The reason is that certification institutions do not trust any compiler. And they are...

The 35 revised full papers presented were selected from 48 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and...

Producing on-line, digitized information is no longer a problem. Ever more of our...

I use the term logical and relational learning to refer to the subfield of artificial intelligence, machine learning and data mining that is concerned with learning in expressive logical or relational representations. It is the union of inductive logic programming, (statistical) relational learning and multi-relational data mining, which all...

Uncertain data is inherent in many important applications, such as environmental surveillance, market analysis, and quantitative economics research. Due to the importance of those applications and rapidly increasing amounts of uncertain data collected and accumulated, analyzing large collections of uncertain data has become an important task....
