This paper describes the underlying software platform used to develop and publish annotations for the Quranic Arabic Corpus (QAC). The QAC (Dukes, Atwell and Habash, 2011) is a multimodal language resource that integrates deep tagging, interlinear translation, multiple speech recordings, visualization and collaborative analysis for the Classical Arabic language of the Quran. Available online at...

The Candida Genome Database (CGD, http://www.candidagenome.org/) is a freely available online resource that provides gene, protein and sequence information for multiple Candida species, along with web-based tools for accessing, analyzing and exploring these data. The mission of CGD is to facilitate and accelerate research into Candida pathogenesis and biology, by curating the scientific literat...

Methods for automatic sound and music classification are of great value when trying to organise the large amounts of unstructured, user-contributed audio content uploaded to online sharing platforms. Currently, most of these methods are based on the audio signal, leaving the exploitation of users’ annotations or other contextual data rather unexplored. In this paper, we describe a method for th...

Many file-system applications such as defragmentation tools, file system checkers or data recovery tools, operate at the storage layer. Today, developers of these storage applications require detailed knowledge of the filesystem format, which takes a significant amount of time to learn, often by trial and error, due to insufficient documentation or specification of the format. Furthermore, thes...

MOTIVATION Many classifications of protein function such as Gene Ontology (GO) are organized in directed acyclic graph (DAG) structures. In these classifications, the proteins are terminal leaf nodes; the categories 'above' them are functional annotations at various levels of specialization and the computation of a numerical measure of relatedness between two arbitrary proteins is an important ...

This paper presents and demonstrates Pundit, a semantic annotation tool that combines powerful annotation functionalities covering comments, tagging, entities markup and linking, composition of rich semantic statements with private/public annotation sharing and retrieval via REST API. The adoption of a flexible data model, based on RDF and an extension of the Open Annotation model, allows, on o...

Creating more fine-grained annotated data than previously relevent document sets is important for evaluating individual components in automatic question answering systems. In this paper, we describe using the Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (AMT) to judge whether paragraphs in relevant documents answer corresponding list questions in TREC QA track 2004. Based on AMT results, we build a collection of 1...

This paper presents a set of tools and an extended framework with API for enabling the dynamic enrichment of online video with Web content via Linked Data. As audiovisual media is increasingly transmitted online, new services deriving added value from such material can be imagined. For example, combining it with other material elsewhere on the Web which is related to it or enhances it in a mean...

the arc costs are assumed to be online parameters of the network and decisions should be made while the costs of arcs are not known. the policies determine the permitted nodes and arcs to traverse and they are generally defined according to the departure nodes of the current policy nodes. in on-line created tours arc costs are not available for decision makers. the on-line traversed nodes are f...
