Event-related causality in stereo-EEG discriminates syntactic processing of noun phrases and verb phrases

Objective. Syntax involves complex neurobiological mechanisms, which are difficult to disentangle for multiple reasons. Using a protocol able to separate syntactic information from sound information we investigated the neural causal connections evoked by t ...

IOP Publishing Ltd2023

Natural language processing has experienced significant improvements with the development of Transformer-based models, which employ self-attention mechanism and pre-training strategies. However, these models still present several obstacles. A notable issue ...

Engineering of Existing Structures: The Need and Place for Non-destructive Evaluation

Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola, Thomas Schumacher

Structural engineers today are still educated mainly to design new structures. This ignores the fact that structures already exist and need to be maintained. Students are thus often ill-equipped to deal with maintenance and preservation of existing structu ...

Seismic Retrofit of Existing Structures Based on Digital Surveying, Non-Destructive Testing and Nonlinear Structural Analysis: The Case of Gjirokastra Castle in Albania

Savvas Saloustros

The present paper showcases the work carried out as part of the seismic retrofit of the Ottoman fortress of Gjirokastra, a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Albania. The need for strengthening and retrofitting the structure stems from the fact that it ...

Conveying the Perception of Humor Arising from Ambiguous Grammatical Constructs in Human-Chatbot Interaction

Denis Gillet, Juan Carlos Farah, Sandy Ingram, Vandit Sharma

Chatbots have long been advocated for computer-assisted language learning systems to support learners with conversational practice. A particular challenge in such systems is explaining mistakes stemming from ambiguous grammatical constructs. Misplaced modi ...

High gamma response tracks different syntactic structures in homophonous phrases

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni

Syntax is a species-specific component of human language combining a finite set of words in a potentially infinite number of sentences. Since words are by definition expressed by sound, factoring out syntactic information is normally impossible. Here, we c ...

Structural Rewriting in XOR-Majority Graphs

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Zhufei Chu

In this paper, we present a structural rewriting method for a recently proposed XOR-Majority graph (XMG), which has exclusive-OR (XOR), majority-of-three (MAJ), and inverters as primitives. XMGs are an extension of Majority-Inverter Graphs (MIGs). Previous ...

Structurally informed exploration of a grammar-based design space

Graphic statics provide a visual understanding of the relation between a structures’ shape and its efforts, a valuable quality in the field of structural conception. When combined to a shape grammar, the graphical method has proven to be a very powerful to ...

Revised ASCE-41 modeling recommendations for moment-resisting frame systems

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady, Alexander Riley Hartloper

Nonlinear static and dynamic analysis is utilized by engineers to evaluate the seismic behavior of new and existing structures in the context of performance-based earthquake engineering. Numerous experiments on steel moment-resisting frames and their compo ...
