The representation of autobiographical memory is distributed over a network of brain structures, with the medial temporal lobe (MTL) at its epicenter. Some believe that, over time, all memories become independent of their MTL component ("consolidation theories"). Others have suggested that this is true only of semantic memory, while episodic aspects of autobiographical memories are dependent on...

The Map Reduce paradigm is now considered a standard platform that is used for large-scale data processing and management. A major operation that the Map Reduce platform relies on greatly is tasks scheduling. Although many schedulers have been presented, task scheduling is still one of the major problems that face Map Reduce frameworks. Schedulers need to maintain data locality to achieve an ac...

Damage to the Medial Temporal Lobe (MTL) impairs declarative memory and perception. The Representational-Hierarchical (RH) Account explains such impairments by assuming that MTL stores conjunctive representations of items and events, and that individuals with MTL damage must rely upon representations of simple visual features in posterior visual cortex. A recent study revealed a surprising anti...

In contrast to classical findings that the medial temporal lobe (MTL) specifically underlies long-term memory, previous data suggest that MTL structures may also contribute to working memory (WM). However, the neural mechanisms by which the MTL supports WM have remained unknown. Here, we exploit intracranial EEG to identify WM-specific sustained activity patterns with the highest temporal and s...

Timed temporal logics encompass a huge diversity of operators, as a result of which, the decidability and expressiveness properties vary considerably. Both pointwise and continuous interpretations of temporal logics can be defined (over finite words), and properties vary based on the interpretation too. The EhrenfeuchtFräıssé games (EF games) for Linear Temporal Logic, as defined by Etessami-Wi...

Regions in the medial temporal lobes (MTL) have long been implicated in the formation of new memories for events, however, it is unclear whether different MTL subregions support different memory processes. Here, we used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine the degree to which two recognition memory processes-recollection and familiarity-were supported by differe...

Multitask learning has been applied successfully to a range of tasks, mostly morphosyntactic. However, little is known on when MTL works and whether there are data characteristics that help to determine the success of MTL. In this paper we evaluate a range of semantic sequence labeling tasks in a MTL setup. We examine different auxiliary task configurations, amongst which a novel setup, and cor...

In this paper, the use of visualization techniques in teachingand learning programming is revisited. It is demonstrated thatMTL can be used to visualize most of programming aspects.MTL, as a tool for dry-running programs, tracing andcorrecting codes is used in a class experiment. Results showthat MTL can be used in teaching novice programmers toimprove their coding a...

This paper investigates the properties of Metric Temporal Logic (MTL) over models in which time is dense but phenomena are constrained to have bounded variability. Contrary to the case of generic dense-time behaviors, MTL is proved to be fully decidable over models with bounded variability, if the variability bound is given. In these decidable cases, MTL complexity is shown to match that of sim...

A distinction between two forms of task knowledge transfer, representational and functional, is reviewed followed by a discussion of MTL, a modiied version of the multiple task learning (MTL) neural network method of functional transfer. The MTL method employs a separate learning rate, k , for each task output node k. k varies as a function of a measure of relatedness, R k , between the kth tas...
