A video-grounded dialogue system referred to as the Structured Co-reference Graph Attention (SCGA) is presented for decoding answer sequence a question regarding given video while keeping track of context. Although recent efforts have made great strides in improving quality response, performance still far from satisfactory. The two main challenging issues are follows: (1) how deduce co-referenc...

The study of situated systems that are capable of reactive and goaldirected behaviour has received increased attention in recent years. One approach to the design of such systems is based upon agent-oriented architectures, in which the system is viewed as a rational agent having certain mental attitudes. The description of these mental attitudes has led to the development of expressive logics t...

Abs t r ac t . The p-calculus can be viewed as essentially the "ultimate" program logic, as it expressively subsumes all propositional program logics, including dynamic logics, process logics, and temporal logics. It is known that the satisfiability problem for the p-calculus is EXPTIMEcomplete. This upper bound, however, is known for a version of the logic that has only forward modalities, whi...

There is an extraordinary number of imaging modalities providing information on the anatomy and functions of the human body. Existing modalities have continuously increasing spatial and temporal resolution, while new imaging modalities are emerging regularly. In parallel, new therapeutic techniques are being introduced which rely very much on medical imaging, either for their planning, simulati...

In order to realize their full potential, multimodal systems need to support not just synchronized integration of multiple input modalities, but also a consistent easy-of-using interface to isolate integration strategies from application ad hoc manner. As the range of multi-modal utterances supported is extended, type of input modalities are increasing, utterances being supported from individua...

Predicate detection is an important problem in distributed systems. Based on the temporal interactions of intervals, there exists a rich class of modalities under which global predicates can be specified. For a conjunctive predicate φ, we show how to detect the traditional Possibly(φ) and Definitely(φ) modalities along with the added information of the exact interaction type between each pair o...

BACKGROUND Studies on treatment modalities for primary hepatic neoplasms (PHN) in Canada are lacking. Our primary aim was to analyze the age-standardized incidence of hepatic resection, ablation, transplantation, and embolization for PHN between 2002 and 2013. Secondary aim was to evaluate temporal trends for these treatment modalities. STUDY DESIGN National Canadian Cancer Registries were ac...

In previous works we have shown that linear logic with subexponentials (SELL), a refinement of linear logic, can be used to specify emergent features of concurrent constraint programming (CCP) languages, such as preferences and spatial, epistemic and temporal modalities. In order to do so, we introduced a number of extensions to SELL, such as subexponential quantifiers for the specification of ...

To determine whether medial temporal limbic structures are essential for memory in more than one modality, we trained monkeys preoperatively on both visual and tactual versions of a sensory memory task and then retested them after they had been given bilateral ablations of either the amygdaloid complex, the hippocampal formation, or both. Monkeys with the combined ablations were severely impair...
