The emergence of social media has created new ways to publish scientific work, foster collaboration, and build professional connections in the research community. The rich data collected in social media platforms has provided new opportunities for assessin ...
It is known that a Green's function-type condition may be used to derive rates for approximation by radial basis functions (RBFs). In this paper, we introduce a method for obtaining rates for approximation by functions which can be convolved with a finite ...
Speaker diarization of meetings can be significantly improved by overlap handling. Several previous works have explored the use of different features such as spectral, spatial and energy for overlap detection. This paper proposes a method to estimate proba ...
In this study we developed an experimental method to identify the impact force on a reinforced concrete slab. A transfer function obtained experimentally between the acceleration response and the force history applied to a point of the structure was used. ...
The last few years have seen the proliferation of measures that quantify the scientific output of researchers. Yet, most of these measures focus on productivity, thus fostering the "publish or perish" paradigm. This article proposes a measure that aims at ...
Comparing two or more phylogenetic trees is a fundamental task in computational biology. The simplest outcome of such a comparison is a pairwise measure of similarity, dissimilarity, or distance. A large number of such measures have been proposed, but so f ...
Automatic analysis of spoken conversations has recently searched for phenomena like agreement/disagreement in collaborative and non- conflictual discussions (e.g., meetings). This work adds a novel dimension investigating conflicts in spontaneous conversat ...
Purpose Liver cancer is the 5 most common cancer and shows poor prognosis. Surgical removal of liver tumours, the only existing curative treatment, can merely be used in 10-20% of the case. Increasing surgical precision is a key-challenge to give more pati ...
Background. Reliable outcome measures are essential for preclinical modeling of spinal cord injury (SCI) in primates. Measures need to be sensitive to both increases and decreases in function in order to demonstrate potential positive or negative effects o ...
The integration of audio and visual information improves speech recognition performance, specially in the presence of noise. In these circumstances it is necessary to introduce audio and visual weights to control the contribution of each modality to the re ...
