Music structure refers to the description of the long term organization of a music piece through a sequence of structural segments. A structural segment can be defined by its structural borders (a start time, an end time) and a label reflecting the similarity of its music content compared to the other segments’. Its duration is typically around 16 s and more. This document presents the music st...

Robotics is coming of age: more and more we are developing robots to function outside the controlled environment of the manufacturing oor and the lab. Robots are routinely used to interact physically with the world in places where humans should not, cannot or do not want to physically act. In handling ever more complex environments, we encounter a new class of robotic missions. These consist of...

This article presents a selective overview of studies that have investigated how advanced adult second language (L2) learners process morphologically complex words. The studies reported here have used different kinds of experimental tasks (including speeded grammaticality judgments, lexical decision, and priming) to examine three domains of morphological processing (regular and irregular inflec...

In this squib, we start from the empirical generalization that phonological grammars are all within the computational power of finite-state devices, a position nearly universally accepted in computational phonology. We show that this rules out certain patterns of morphologically sensitive stress assignment that are predicted by the phonological cycle hypothesis. Given that morphological structu...

This paper explains how semantic hypergraphs are used to construct ontological models of morphological rules in the Kazakh language. The nodes within these graphs represent semantic features (morphological concepts) and the edges within represent the relationships between these features. Word forms within the hypergraph structure are described in trees which are converted into linear parenthesi...
