25 Interactive performance is one of the most innovative ways computers can be used in music, and it leads to new ways of thinking about music composition and performance. Interactive performance also poses many technical challenges, resulting in new languages and special hardware including sensors, synthesis methods, and software techniques. As if there are not already enough problems to tackl...

Title of Dissertation: CONSERVATIVE AND PROGFESSIVE ASPECTS OF THE SONATA FROM LATE BEETIHOVEN TO PROKOFIEV WonYoung Chang, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2004 Dissertation Directed by: Professor Larissa Dedova Department of Music The term 'sonata' arose in the early seventeenth-century Baroque period and was originally used to distinguish instrumental (sonata) music from vocal music. Later. the sonat...

Many people enjoy music daily, but in a very passive way. To more actively enjoy music, some novel musical instruments are necessary. As a candidate for a novel musical instrument, we propose a networked wearable musical instrument. This paper describes the design of the networked musical instrument as well as a prototype system. Furthermore, we demonstrate several possible novel applications o...

In this article we present the result of the recent research in the recognition and normalisation of Polish temporal expressions. The temporal information extracted from the text plays major role in many information extraction systems, like question answering, event recognition or discourse analysis. We proposed a new method for the temporal expressions normalisation, called Cascade of Partial ...

This paper describes NCU IISR’s Japanese ICD-10 Code Linking system for NTCIR-11 MedNLP. Our system uses Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) to label ICD-10 mentions and temporal expressions. We also use CRFs to detect the modalities of the ICD-10 mentions. To resolve the problem of ICD-10 mention normalization, we use the Lucene engine to link mentions to the corresponding ICD-10 database entries...

Annotating the semantics of time in language is important. THYME (Styler et al., 2014) is a recent temporal annotation standard for clinical texts. This paper examines temporal expressions in the first major corpus released under this standard. It investigates where the standard has proven difficult to apply, and gives a series of recommendations regarding temporal annotation in this important ...

This paper discusses the translation of temporal expressions, in the framework of the machine translation system Rosetta. The translation method of Rosetta, the "isomorphic grammar method', is based on Montague's Compositionality Principle. It is shown that a compositional approach leads to a transparent account of the complex aspects of time in natural language and can be used for the translat...

We describe the TEMANTEX annotation scheme for temporal expressions and other lexical indicators of temporality and we analyze a first annotation experience. TEMANTEX is mainly a revision of the markup language TIMEX3, but with some additions and a different treatment for relative expressions. Our alternative proposal is justified for two reasons. First, our system aims to cover other temporali...

This paper presents the annotation guidelines and specifications which have been developed for the creation of the Italian TimeBank, a language resource composed of two corpora manually annotated with temporal and event information. In particular, the adaptation of the TimeML scheme to Italian is described, and a special attention is given to the methodology used for the realization of the anno...
