Natural sounds can be characterised by patterns of changes in loudness (amplitude modulations), and human speech perception studies have focused on the low frequencies contained in the gross temporal structure of speech. Low-pass filtering the temporal envelopes of sub-band filtered speech maintains intelligibility, but it remains unclear how the human auditory system could perform such a modul...

In an open context such as the Semantic Web, information providers usually rely on different ontologies to semantically characterize contents. In order to enable interoperability at a semantic level, ontologies underlying information sources must be linked by discovering alignments, that is, set of correspondences or mappings. The aim of this paper is to provide a formal model (i.e., Semantic F...
