Extracting Relations from Large Plain-Text Collections
, 2000
"... Text documents often contain valuable structured data that is hidden in regular English sentences. This data is best exploited if available as a relational table that we could use for answering precise queries or for running data mining tasks. We explore a technique for extracting such tables fr ..."

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,
, 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

, 2001
"... In designing data structures for text databases, it is valuable to know how many different words are likely to be encountered in a particular collection. For example, vocabulary accumulation is central to index construction for text database systems; it is useful to be able to estimate the space req ..."

Efficient Use of Side Information in MultipleAntenna Data Transmission over Fading Channels
, 1998
"... We derive performance limits for two closely related communication scenarios involving a wireless system with multiple-element transmitter antenna arrays: a point-to-point system with partial side information at the transmitter, and a broadcast system with multiple receivers. In both cases, ideal be ..."

beamforming is impossible, leading to an inherently lower achievable performance as the quality of the side information degrades or as the number of receivers increases. Expected signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) and mutual information are both considered as performance measures. In the point-to-point case, we
Searchable File System
"... The exponentially increasing amount of data in file systems has made it increasingly important for file systems to provide fast file-search services. The quality of the file-search services is significantly affected by the file-index overhead, the file-search responsiveness and the accuracy of searc ..."

A Searchable Patient Record Database for Decision Support
"... Abstract. We describe a searchable patient record database for decision support. It contains medical histories of real but pseudonymous patients with patterns of diagnosis, chosen treatment, and outcome. To be searchable, the patterns contain a feature vector (for similarity search by calculating di ..."

. After input a searchable pattern group is built from the provided data, and used to search for histories of patients with similar fine diagnostics, and for the most successful treatment decisions at these patients. This information can be very valuable for deciding the treatment of the current patient
Research Commentary: Information Systems and Conceptual Modeling -- A Research Agenda

High-quality conceptualmodeling work is important because it facilitates early detection and correction of system development errors. It also plays an increa ..."

Why Do Temporary Help Firms Provide Free General Skills Training?” Quarterly
- Journal of Economics
"... Nominally free, unrestricted training in portable computer skills is offered by the majority of U.S. temporary help supply (THS) establishments, a practice that is inconsistent with the competitive model of training. This paper asks why temporary help firms provide free general skills training. The ..."

. The answer proposed is that in addition to skills formation, training plays an informational role at THS firms by eliciting private information about worker ability. The model is built on the premise that training is more productive and therefore valuable to high ability workers. Firms offer a package
Rethinking the causes of deforestation: Lessons from economic models. The World Bank Research Observer
, 1999
"... This article, which synthesizes the results of more than 140 economic models analyzing the causes of tropical deforestation, raises significant doubts about many conventional hypotheses in the debate about deforestation. More roads, higher agricultural prices, lower wages, and a shortage of off-farm ..."

Although the boom in deforestation modeling has yielded new insights, weak methodology and poor-quality data make
