Temporal uncertainty in raw data can impede the inference of temporal and causal relationships between events and compromise the output of data-to-text NLG systems. In this paper, we introduce a framework to reason with and represent temporal uncertainty from the raw data to the generated text, in order to provide a faithful picture to the user of a particular situation. The model is grounded i...

The tremendous development of knowledge, the accumulation of clinical experience, and the enriching of everyday practice with the results of basic and clinical research created the need for splitting medicine in specialities and sub-specialities. Although this evolution is inevitable in order to meet the complex needs and demands of patients, we have to be aware of the risk of neglecting the ho...

Application of Kolmogorov Complexity to Image Compression: It Is Possible to Have a Better Compression, But It Is Not Possible to Have the Best One

1 The Problem of Image Compression Image processing is important but diicult. An important part of data processing is processing images. One of the main problems with storing and processing images is that an image contains a large amount of data. A simple image on a PC contains about 1 Megabyte of data, and a good photo contain thousand times more: about 1 Gigabyte (10 9 bytes) of data. These p...
