Open Information Extraction (OIE) systems seek to compress the factual propositions of a sentence into a series of n-ary tuples. These tuples are useful for downstream tasks in natural language processing like knowledge base creation, textual entailment, and natural language understanding. However, current OIE datasets are limited in both size and diversity. We introduce a new dataset by converting the QA-SRL 2.0 dataset to a large-scale OIE dataset (LSOIE). Our LSOIE dataset is 20 times larger than the next largest human-annotated OIE dataset. We construct and evaluate several benchmark OIE models on LSOIE, providing baselines for future improvements on the task. Our LSOIE data, models, and code are made publicly available

The hull of a linear code C is the intersection of C with its dual code. We present and analyze the number of linear q-ary codes of the same length and dimension but with different dimensions for their hulls. We prove that for given dimension k and length nge 2k the number of all [n,k]_q linear codes with hull dimension l decreases as l increases. We also present classification results for binary and ternary linear codes with trivial hulls (LCD and self-orthogonal) for some values of the length n and dimension k, comparing the obtained numbers with the number of all linear codes for the given n and k.

For any given dimension d, all reflexive d-polytopes can be found (in principle) as subpolytopes of a number of maximal polyhedra that are defined in terms of (d+1)-tuples of integers (weights), or combinations of k-tuples of weights with k<d+1. We present the results of a complete classification of sextuples of weights pertaining to the construction of all reflexive polytopes in five dimensions. We find 322 383 760 930 such weight systems. 185 269 499 015 of them give rise directly to reflexive polytopes and thereby to mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau fourfolds. These lead to 532 600 483 distinct sets of Hodge numbers.

Let F be a field, and n geq r>0 be integers, with r even. Denote by A_n(F) the space of all n-by-n alternating matrices with entries in F. We consider the problem of determining the greatest possible dimension for an affine subspace of A_n(F) in which every matrix has rank equal to r (or rank at least r). Recently Rubei has solved this problem over the field of real numbers. We extend her result to all fields with large enough cardinality. Provided that n geq r+3 and |F|geq minbigl(r-1,r{2}+2bigr), we also determine the affine subspaces of rank r matrices in A_n(F) that have the greatest possible dimension, and we point to difficulties for the corresponding problem in the case nleq r+2.
