Auto-completion is one of the most prominent features of modern information systems. The existing solutions of auto-completion provide the suggestions based on the beginning of the currently input character sequence (i.e. prefix). However, in many real applications, one entity often has synonyms or abbreviations. For example, “DBMS” is an abbreviation of “Database Management Systems”. In this p...

To automatically annotate songs with descriptive keywords, a variety of content-based auto-tagging strategies have been proposed in recent years. Different approaches may capture different aspects of a song’s musical content, such as timbre, temporal dynamics, rhythmic qualities, etc. As a result, some auto-taggers may be better suited to model the acoustic characteristics commonly associated w...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS), a 10-point scale, is a clinical tool for assessment of early ischemic changes after stroke based on the location and extent of a visible stroke lesion. It has been extended for use with MR diffusion-weighted imaging. The purpose of this work was to automate a MR topographical score (MR-TS) using a digital atlas to devel...

A time-scale invariant burst-detection algorithm for single-unit spike train is described. This burst analysis is an auto-adaptive algorithm that uses interand intra-burst intervals for identifying the burst itself. By using a self-adaptive algorithm, a burst is de$ned by the characteristic $ring patterns within and between bursts. Bursts are detected by auto-adaptive method when the inter-burs...

A hardware simulator reproduces the behavior of the radio propagation channel, thus making it possible to test “on table” the mobile radio equipments. The simulator can be used for LTE and WLAN 802.11ac applications, in indoor and outdoor environments. In this paper, the input signals parameters and the relative power of the impulse responses are related to the relative error and SNR of the out...
