This paper presents a procedure to generate judgment determiners, e.g., many, few. Although such determiners carry very little objective information, they are extensively used in everyday language. The paper presents a precise characterization of a class of such determiners using three semantic tests. A conceptual representation for sets is then derived from this characterization which can serv...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs that can regulate gene expression. Several hundred genes encoding miRNAs have been experimentally identified in animals, and many more are predicted by computational methods. How can new miRNAs be discovered and distinguished from other types of small RNA? Here we summarize current methods for identifying and validating miRNAs and discuss criteria used to d...

Our intelligent shopping assistant, Ma$$ive, is a web application for mobile phones that aims to help users with their everyday grocery shopping by offering features such as natural language shopping lists, product recommendations, special offers, recipes and in-shop navigation. This short paper briefly describes the current and planned features of Ma$$ive.

We address a blind source separation (BSS) problem in noisy reverberant environment which the number of microphones $M$ is greater than sources interest, and other noise components can be approximated as stationary Gaussian distributed. Conventional BSS algorithms for optimization multi-input multi-output convolutional beamformer have suffered from huge computational cost when large. here propo...
