This deliverable describes the integration of the OntoLight matcher within the Alignment server and the NeOn toolkit. This integration uses a web service connection from the Alignment server to an OntoLight web service interface. The following partners have taken an active part in the work leading to the elaboration of this document, even if they might not have directly contributed to the writi...

The difficult problem of Entity Matching (EM), i.e., determining whether different mentions of an entity refer to the same realworld object, has recently attracted a lot of attention from the Machine Learning (ML) research community. State-of-the-art solutions for EM are based on recent advances in ML, such as firstorder probabilistic models (e.g., Markov and Bayesian networks) and advanced pro...

A finite element based level set method is proposed for structural topology optimization. Because both the level set equation and the reinitialization equation are advection dominated partial differential equations, the standard Galerkin finite element method may produce oscillating results. In this paper, both equations are solved using a streamline diffusion finite element method (SDFEM). The...

This work develops a novel face-based matcher composed of a multi-resolution hierarchy of patch-based feature descriptors for periocular recognition recognition based on the soft tissue surrounding the eye orbit. The novel patch-based framework for periocular recognition is compared against other feature descriptors and a commercial full-face recognition system against a set of four uniquely ch...

(2000). Make me a match: An evaluation of different approaches to score-performance matching. ABSTRACT — A matcher is an algorithm that links events in a musical performance to the corresponding events in a score. Matching is difficult because performers make errors, performers use expressive timing , and scores are frequently underspecified. In this article, two existing matchers are discussed...

This paper presents a framework for verifying compilation tools for parametrised hardware libraries with placement information. Such libraries are captured in Pebble, a simple declarative language based on Structural VHDL, and can contain placement information to guide circuit layout. Relative placement information enables control of circuit layout at a higher level of abstraction than placemen...

The increasing popularity of personal wireless devices has raised new demands for the efficient discovery of heterogeneous devices and services in pervasive environments. The existing approaches such as Jini [1], UPnP [8], etc., describe services at a syntactic level and the matching mechanisms in these approaches are limited to syntactic comparisons based on attributes or interfaces. In order ...

This paper deals with the level of detail that is necessary for representation of tread pattern in finite element tire models. Different methods for creation of tire tread mesh are systematized by two different criteria: the most common approaches and the finite element analysis type. Some of the representative approaches found in literature are given in more detail and their advantages and dis...
