The paper presents a set of XML tools for natural language processing such as regular grammars, constraints, transformations, remove and insert operations. The architecture allows any combinations of the tools depending on the task and the concrete analysis. The main control mechanism is the backtracking which depends on achieving a particular subgoal in the analysis. The main advantage of the ...

This paper overviews DNA microarray grid alignment and foreground separation approaches. Microarray grid alignment and foreground separation are the basic processing steps of DNAmicroarray images that affect the quality of gene expression information, and hence impact our confidence in any data-derived biological conclusions. Thus, understandingmicroarray data processing steps becomes critical ...

Pre-processing MRI scans prior to performing volumetric analyses is common practice in MRI studies. As pre-processing steps adjust the voxel intensities, the space in which the scan exists, and the amount of data in the scan, it is possible that the steps have an effect on the volumetric output. To date, studies have compared between and not within pipelines, and so the impact of each step is u...

Microarray data processing spans a large number of research themes starting from (1) microarray image analysis, (2) data cleaning and pre-processing, semantic integration of heterogeneous, distributed bio-medical databases, (3) exploration of existing data mining tools for bio-data analysis, and (4) development of advanced, effective, and scalable data mining methods in bio-data analysis [9]. T...

This review summarises the most significant findings related to the issue of the quantitative and qualitative indicators of stallion ejaculates, its processing when producing chilled insemination doses and the possibility of influencing the individual steps of the entire process. Artificial insemination, with cooled-storage semen, is increasingly used in horse breeding because it offers many ad...

This is a term paper in the course Speech Technology within the Swedish national graduate school of language technology, GSLT. It gives an introduction to front-end processing and acoustic features for automatic speech recognition. That is, it describes the process of transforming the physical sound signal of speech into a feature vector that is suitable for further processing. The process is d...

Development of algorithms for digital hearing aid processing includes many steps from the first algorithmic idea and implementation up to field tests with hearing impaired patients. Each of these steps has its own requirements towards the development environment. However, a common platform throughout the whole development process is desirable. This paper gives an overview of the application of ...
