A number of human activities exhibit a bursty pattern, namely periods of very high activity that are followed by rest periods. Records of this process generate time series of events whose inter-event times follow a probability distribution that displays a fat tail. The grounds for such phenomenon are not yet clearly understood. In the present work we use the freely available Wikipedia’s editing...

A persistent problem faced in modelling medical knowledge is the required combination of skills from the fields of computer science and medicine. The expertise of experts both in medicine and in computer science has many dimensions which makes competence deficits hard to target. Our approach is to provide the required training for the modelling job integrated into the editing environment, provi...

This paper suggests a Poisson equation based method for editing color images. In Poisson image editing, a guided vector field is first obtained by using source and target images, within a selected region. The guided vector is then used in creating the output image. Most of the existing techniques perform image editing without considering color information. However, image structure cannot be gen...

During the last years, the significant increase of mobile communications has resulted in the wide acceptance of a plethora of new services, like communication via written short messages (SMS). The limitations of the dimensions and the number of keys of the mobile phone keypad are probably the main obstacles of this service. Numerous intelligent techniques have been developed aiming at supportin...

The automatic post-editing (APE), which can correct the translation errors, is an effective approach to improving machine translation (MT) output quality. This paper proposes a global source-aware SPE model to improve the MT translation quality leveraging pseudo-feedback to achieve the sentence specification. For a given source sentence, some similar sentences are retrieved from a translation m...

sharing the resources collected or cataloged by a documentary editing project can be one of the greatest intellectual challenges a scholar faces. 1 1. Introduction It is almost impossible to list the many reasons why the preservation, editing, and study of correspondence material is of great importance to our culture. Not only do archives, repositories, and collections of manuscripts and letter...

An important issue in implementation of a GIS system is preparation of data to be entered in GIS. To produce spatial data for GIS using photogrammetric techniques, conventional method is to apply photogrammetric and GIS systems individually (off-line procedure). This approach is costly, time consuming and somehow unreliable due to the fact that 3D photogrammetric model is not available at the ...

The completion mode (individual, collaborative) of the tasks and the conditions under which these modes are performed have been reported to play an important role in language learning. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of employing text editing tasks performed both individually and collaboratively, on the achievement of English grammar under explicit and implicit learning condi...

LAP6 is an on-line system running on a 2048-word LINC which provides full facilities for text editing, automatic filing and file maintenance, and program preparation and assembly. It focuses on the preparation and editing of continuously displayed 23,040-character text strings (manuscripts) which can be positioned anywhere by the user and edited by simply adding and deleting lines as though wor...
