The predominant usage of the Internet for content retrieval has lead to a new communication paradigm called information-centric networking (ICN). In this paradigm, the main concern is to fetch content from the network without the explicit knowledge where the content, or its copy, is currently located. Although the migration to the ICN paradigm is already taking place, the underlying naming syst...

The DCE standard includes specifications for the Directory Service, a component that performs typical naming services in distributed computing environments. We list some deficiencies in these specifications that affect the naming service availability and correctness, and suggest possible solutions. We then describe an enhancement of an implementation of the Directory Service that adds support f...

Aphasic patients were given tests assessing pantomime recognition, reading comprehension, aural comprehension, and naming ability to determine whether defective pantomime recognition could be the result of a disturbance of symbolic thinking also affecting linguistic functioning. Defects in pantomime recognition always occurred in conjunction with reading defects of at least comparable severity,...

Social anxiety has been characterized by an attentional bias towards threatening faces. Electrophysiological studies have demonstrated modulations of cognitive processing from 100 ms after stimulus presentation. However, the impact of the stimulus features and task instructions on facial processing remains unclear. Event-related potentials were recorded while high and low socially anxious indiv...

Can the humped animal's knee conceal its name? Commentary on: " The roles of shared vs. distinctive conceptual features in lexical access " The representation of meaning is a pivotal topic for theories of languag...

Historically, both clinicians and cognitive scientists have used visual object naming measures to study naming, and lesion-type studies have implicated the left posterior, temporo-parietal region as a critical component of naming circuitry. However, recent results from behavioral and cortical stimulation studies using auditory description naming as well as visual object naming in left temporal ...

Foreign language attrition (FLA) appears to be driven by interference from other, more recently-used languages (Mickan et al., 2020). Here we tracked these dynamics electrophysiologically further our understanding of the underlying processes. Twenty-seven Dutch native speakers learned 70 new Italian words over two days. On a third day, EEG was recorded as they performed naming tasks on half in ...

Existing methods for unsupervised identification of speakers in TV broadcast usually rely on the output of a speaker diarization module and try to name each cluster using names provided by another source of information: we call it “late naming”. Hence, written names extracted from title blocks tend to lead to high precision identification, although they cannot correct errors made during the clu...
