In this research, a computer assisted framework was developed to help researchers in conducting qualitative research. This framework leveraged the GATE platform, along with natural language processing and knowledge extraction techniques, to develop an automatic text annotation and summarisation...

Following up on Rebennack and Kallrath (2012), in this paper, for functions depending on two variables, using refinement heuristics, we automatically construct triangulations subject to the condition that the continuous, piecewise linear approximation, under- or overestimation never deviates...

There is an increasing availability of unstructured textual data in the depositories of big databases that are constantly produced and updated. Such unstructured data, such as status updates on social media, play the role of narrative bits - narbs - in creating specific stories about an...

A non-linear optimization model for deficit irrigation is proposed in the present study to maximize the net financial return within the available resource constraints. The deficit levels of irrigation are kept as variables in the model with a flexibility to keep the crops either at full...
