In this study eye movements were recorded for participants under three different conditions. All three conditions consisted of a perception phase and a mental imagery phase. The imagery phase was similar for all conditions: i.e., participants looked freely at a blank white screen. The perception phase was different for each condition. In the control condition, participants looked freely at a co...

Automatic hypermedia presentation generation uses an information source semantic network first to select the content and then to compose it in the presentation so that the semantic relations between the information items are conveyed to the user. A hypermedia presentation can be considered as an example of strongly-guided navigation through a hypermedia structure. This can provide a high level ...

Research in computational semantics is increasingly guided by our understanding of human semantic processing. However, semantic models are typically studied in the context of natural language processing system performance. In this paper, we present a systematic evaluation and comparison of a range of widely-used, stateof-the-art semantic models in their ability to predict patterns of conceptual...

We discuss the interplay between the axiomatic and the semantic approach to truth. Often, semantic constructions have guided the development of axiomatic theories and certain axiomatic theories have been claimed to capture a semantic construction. We ask under which conditions an axiomatic theory captures a semantic construction. After discussing some potential criteria, we focus on the criteri...

In this paper, we describe our guided summarization system that participated in the TAC 2011 competition. We submitted two runs for the guided summarization task by following a random walk paradigm. Two different approaches were applied for the update component to create two runs of our guided summarization system: 1) using ROUGE (RecallOriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation), and 2) using ...

Facial expression synthesis has drawn much attention in the field of computer graphics and pattern recognition. It has been widely used in face animation and recognition. However, it is still challenging due to the high-level semantic presence of large and non-linear face geometry variations. This paper proposes a Geometry-Guided Generative Adversarial Network (G2-GAN) for photo-realistic and i...

In this paper we explore the development of the morphosyntax-semantics interface by comparing development in 4 typologically diverse languages: Dutch (a Germanic V2 language), Greek, Italian (a Romance pro-drop language) and Swahili (a Bantu language), with particular emphasis on Swahili, a relatively understudied language whose morphosyntactic structure is particularly relevant to the question...

The need to process large quantities of data generated from genomic sequencing has resulted in a difficult task for life scientists who are not familiar with the use of command-line operations or developments in high performance computing and parallelization. This knowledge gap, along with unfamiliarity with necessary processes, can hinder the execution of data processing tasks. Furthermore, ma...

27 Mental color imagery abilities are commonly measured using paradigms that involve naming, 28 judging or comparing the colors of visual mental images of well-known objects (e.g., “is a 29 sunflower darker yellow than a lemon”?). Although this approach is widely used in patient 30 studies, differences in the ability to perform such color comparisons might simply reflect 31 participants’ genera...

High resolution IKONOS stereo imagery provides an important data source for threedimensional scene extraction. In urban areas, it has been long a challenge topic to automatically extract urban objects from images due to the high object density and scene complexity. In this paper, we propose a new method for automatic 3d building reconstruction from IKONOS stereo images. Our approach is based on...
