AQUA: an ontology driven question answering system
This paper describes AQUA our question answering over the Web. AQUA was designed to work over heterogeneous sources. This means that AQUA is equipped to work as closed domain and in addition to open-domain question answering. As a first instance, AQUA tries to answer a question using a Knowledge base. If a query cannot be satisfied over a knowledge base/database. Then, AQUA tries to find an answer on web pages (i.e. it uses as corpus the internet as resource). Our system uses NLP (Natural Language Processing), First order logic and Information Extraction technologies. AQUA has been tested using an ontology which describes academic life.

Lower bounds in differential privacy
This is a paper about private data analysis, in which a trusted curator
holding a confidential database responds to real vector-valued queries. A
common approach to ensuring privacy for the database elements is to add
appropriately generated random noise to the answers, releasing only these {\em
noisy} responses. In this paper, we investigate various lower bounds on the
noise required to maintain different kind of privacy guarantees.Comment: Corrected some minor errors and typos. To appear in Theory of
