Using Linked Open Data to Bootstrap a Knowledge Base of Classical Texts

Matteo Romanello

We describe a domain-specific knowledge base aimed at supporting the extraction of bibliographic references in the domain of Classics. In particular, we deal with references to canonical works of the Greek and Latin literature by providing a model that rep ...

Neuromorphic System with Phase-Change Synapses for Pattern Learning and Feature Extraction

Yusuf Leblebici, Stanislaw Andrzej Wozniak, Evangelos Eleftheriou, Angeliki Pantazi

Neuromorphic systems provide biologically inspired methods of computing, alternative to the classical von Neumann approach. In these systems, computation is performed by a network of spiking neurons controlled by the values of their synaptic weights, which ...

The role of the roughness spectral breadth in elastic contact of rough surfaces

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Vladislav Yastrebov

We study frictionless and non-adhesive contact between elastic half-spaces with self-affine surfaces. Using a recently suggested corrective technique, we ensure an unprecedented accuracy in computation of the true contact area evolution under increasing pr ...

Comparing expert and novice concept map construction through a talk-aloud protocol

Beat Adrian Schwendimann

Concept maps can be used as generative assessment tools to identify changes in learner’s understanding. However, concept map analysis usually only focuses on the final product. This case study used a talk aloud protocol to study and compare the concept map ...
