Introduction
Entities originally fall into a philosophical category, yet they have linguistic aspects and are discussed by such linguists as Lyons (1977), Asher (1993), Vendler (1967), Smith (2003) and Peterson (1997). But...

SDRT and Abstract Entity Anaphora
Basing his theory on DRT, Asher (1993) postulates Segmented Discourse Representation Theory (SDRT) to account for discourse structure and full range of abstract entity anaphora. Different from DRT, SDRT leaves...

Evolving Temporal Knowledge Graphs by Iterative Spatio-Temporal Walks
Predicting facts that occur in the future is a challenging task in temporal knowledge graphs (TKGs). TKGs represent temporal facts about entities and their relations, where each fact is associated with a times...
