This paper proposes a strategy for retrospective conversion of documents. This strategy consists in an interpretation cycle where document analysis and document understanding interact. This cycle is initialized by the extraction of the outline of the layout and logical structures of the document. Then, each iteration of the cycle consists in the detection of inconsistencies in the document mode...

In recent years, we have observed a dynamic development in two essential areas of forensics analysis of digital images and videos integrity verification (genuineness analysis) and image ballistics (source device verification). Although past research in the areas of image integrity verification and image ballistics have mainly focused on data hiding and digital watermarking approaches [1,2], tod...

Inconsistencies in taxonomic relationships implicit in different sets of nucleic acid sequences potentially result from horizontal transfer of genetic material between genomes. A nonparametric method is proposed to determine whether such inconsistencies are statistically significant. A similarity coefficient is calculated from ranked pairwise identities and evaluated against a distribution of s...

All experimental analyzes were checked after statistical inconsistencies were identified in the reporting of the results. Statistical corrections are reported below. No findings or conclusions are impacted by these corrections. The size of the effect, however, is reduced in Experiment 3. For simplicity, the corrected results and associated figures and tables are reported in full in this corrige...

We deal with the statistical matching problem and in particular we study the problem related to the managing of inconsistencies. In fact, when logical relations among the variables are present incoherence can arise in the probability evaluations. The aim of this paper is to remove such incoherences by using different methods. Specific precise distances minimization or least committal imprecise ...

BACKGROUND Current state-of-the-art approaches to biological event extraction train statistical models in a supervised manner on corpora annotated with event triggers and event-argument relations. Inspecting such corpora, we observe that there is ambiguity in the span of event triggers (e.g., "transcriptional activity" vs. 'transcriptional'), leading to inconsistencies across event trigger anno...

For any given consistent tarskian logic it is possible to find another non-trivial logic that allows for an inconsistent model yet completely coincides with the initial given logic from the point of view of their associated single-conclusion consequence relations. A paradox? This short note shows you how to do it. This may be read as the description of an expedition into unexplored regions of a...
