In face processing tasks, prior presentation of internal facial features, when compared with external ones, facilitates the recognition of subsequently displayed familiar faces. In a previous ERP study (Olivares & Iglesias, 2010) we found a visibly larger N400-like effect when identity mismatch familiar faces were preceded by internal features, as compared to prior presentation of external ones...

This paper describes the methods we have employed to solve the author profiling task at PAN-2013. Our goal was to use simple features to identify the age group and the gender of the author of a given text. We introduce the features, detail how the classifiers were trained, and how the experiments were run.

The main object of this study is to offer a clue for semantic interpretation of nouns to facilitate automatic text processes. Unlike thematic roles lexically registered on verbs, the criterions needed to interpret nouns are not definable by distinctive features. Since nouns in same form can bear both generic and existential meaning, its interpretation rather depends upon logical reasoning. This...

In this paper, we introduce RockEngine Generic Privacy builder, a Boolean circuit compiler meant to be part of the RockEngine Generic Privacy Engine developed by Rockchain.org. The RockEngine Generic Privacy builder is a complete garbled circuit generator that will be used in particular on the public network of Rockchain.org to perform Secure Function Evaluation on private dAppBoxes nodes. The ...

BACKGROUND Generic drugs are considered therapeutically equivalent to their original counterparts and lower in acquisition costs. However, the overall impact of generic substitution (GS) on global clinical and economic outcomes has not been conclusively evaluated. OBJECTIVE To test whether (1) generics and original products yield the same health outcomes, and (2) generic therapies save econom...

Generic programming plays an essential role in C++ software through the use of templates. However, both the creation and use of template libraries is hindered by the fact that the language does not allow programmers to specify constraints on generic types. To date, no proposal to update the language to provide concepts has survived the committee process. Until that time comes, as a form of earl...

In today’s competitive world, there are several strategies to deal with the fast changing environment, among which New product development (NPD) is a common strategy. However, almost half of the resources that companies devote to NPD are spent on products that may fail. This issue is particularly highlighted in the pharmaceutical industry mainly because of a long development-time, low success r...

Grouping is often intended as a general-purpose early vision stage which gathers together image features of perceptual salience, usually having a well-deenable structure. This work addresses the problem of generic part-based grouping and recognition from single two-dimensional edge images following a strategy that employs generic part models at all stages: the key underlying idea is to perform ...

The construction of GNOOP as a domain-theoretic model of generic nominally-typed OOP is currently underway. This extended abstract presents the concepts of ‘nominal intervals’ and ‘full generification’ that are likely to help in building GNOOP as an accurate mathematical model of generic nominally-typed OOP. The abstract also presents few related category-theoretic suggestions. The presented co...
