Temporal processing abilities generally decline with age. These temporal processing declines may reduce the ability of older listeners to use temporal cues for spoken language processing, such as for segregating multiple talkers. A concurrent vowel paradigm was used to examine categorization judgments for young, middle-aged, and older listeners based on temporal onset differences. Listeners cat...

The abundance of temporal information in documents has lead to an increased interest in processing such information in the NLP community by considering temporal expressions. Besides domainadaptation, acquiring knowledge on variation of temporal expressions according to time is relevant for improvement in automatic processing. So far, frequency-based accounts dominate in the investigation of spe...

In this paper, we describe our participation in the TempEval-3 challenge. With our multilingual temporal tagger HeidelTime, we addressed task A, the extraction and normalization of temporal expressions for English and Spanish. Exploiting HeidelTime’s strict separation between source code and languagedependent parts, we tuned HeidelTime’s existing English resources and developed new Spanish reso...

This paper gives a brief survey of remote sensing techniques from a viewpoint of pattern recongition and media understanding (PRMU). First we give a brief summary of remote sensing, and then introduce related work on both remote sensing image processing and some unique issues in remote sensing image processing. We moreover point out that the future direction of remote sensing is expected to be ...

In this paper, we discuss issues involving temporal data fragmentation, temporal query processing, and query optimization in multiprocessor database machines. We propose parallel processing strategies, which are based on partitioning of temporal relations on timestamp values, for multi-way joins (e.g., complex temporal pattern queries) and optimization alternatives. We analyze the proposed sche...
