The application of the multilingual knowledge encoded in Wikipedia to an open–domain Cross–Lingual Question Answering system
based on the Inter Lingual Index (ILI) module of EuroWordNet is proposed and evaluated. This strategy overcomes the problems due to
ILI’s low coverage…

The prey-predator pursuit problem is referenced many times in literature. It is a generic multi-agent problem whose solutions could by applied to many particular instances. Solutions proposed usually apply non-supervised learning algorithms to train prey and predators. Most of these…
