Music transcription, which deals with the conversion of music sources into a structured digital format, is key problem for Information Retrieval (MIR). When addressing this challenge in computational terms, MIR community follows two lines research: documents, case Optical Recognition (OMR), or audio recordings, Automatic Transcription (AMT). The different nature aforementioned input data has co...

A novel ultra-high compliance, low power, very accurate and high output impedance current output stage (COS) with extremely high output current drive capability is proposed in this paper. The principle of operation of this unique structure is discussed, its most important formulas are derived and its outstanding performance is verified by HSPICE simulation in TSMC 0.18µm CMOS, BSIM3, and Level4...

A conditional random fields model was trained to detect medical complaints in Japanese health record text. Tokenisation was applied by using the dependency parser CaboCha and the conditional random fields model was trained on tokens in a window size of two preceding and three following tokens, as well as on part-of-speech, vocabulary mapping, header name, frequent suffix, orthography and presen...

BACKGROUND Arteriovenous malformations of the liver in Osler's disease may present as high output cardiac failure. A few case reports suggested that treatment with arterial embolisation may have beneficial effects in such patients. AIMS To investigate the efficacy and safety of this treatment modality in a prospective pilot study. PATIENTS AND METHODS Four women and one man (aged 39-59 year...

The idea that the human mind can be divided into distinct (but interacting) functional modules is an important presupposition in many theories of cognition. While previous research on modularity predominantly studied input domains (e.g., vision) or central processes, the present study focused on cognitive representations of output domains. Specifically, we asked to what extent output domain rep...

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tap water iontophoresis in the treatment of severe idiopathic palmar hyperhidrosis, nine Chinese patients with severe palmar hyperhidrosis that had failed to respond to topical aluminium chloride were given 6 weeks' treatment with tap water iontophoresis at the Social Hygiene Service, Department of Health, Hong Kong. The reduction in sweat output was asses...

We present an input-driven dynamical system approach to continuous association. Previous formulations of associative reservoir computing networks and associative extreme learning machines are unified and generalized to multiple modalities. Association in these networks proceeds by externally driving parts of the network. Through continuous variation of driving inputs, a continuous association o...

This paper aims to show where ubiquitous sensor environments in combination with multimodal user interfaces can be used to further enhance the user (and usage) experience. The challenge in multimodal user interface design is to combine the available user input modalities with the available sensor data in a meaningful way. A conceptual framework for sensorised modality input composition and sema...

We report the performance of a patient who, as a consequence of left frontal and temporoparietal strokes, makes far more errors on nouns than on verbs in spoken output tasks, but makes far more errors on verbs than on nouns in written input tasks. This double dissociation within a single patient with respect to grammatical category provides evidence for the hypothesis that phonological and orth...

Abstract We model a part of a process in pulp to paper production using Bayesian mixture density networks. A set of parameters measuring paper quality is predicted from a set of process values. In most regression models, the response output is a real value but in this mixture density model the output is an approximation of the density function for a response variable conditioned by an explanato...
