This paper describes the system SPINOZA VU developed for the SemEval 2015 Task 4: Cross Document TimeLines. The system integrates output from the NewsReader Natural Language Processing pipeline and is designed following an entity based model. The poor performance of the submitted runs are mainly a consequence of error propagation. Nevertheless, the error analysis has shown that the interpretati...

When data analysts study time-series data, an important task is to discover how data patterns change over time. If the dataset is very large, this task becomes challenging. Researchers have developed many visualization techniques to help address this problem. However, little work has been done regarding the changes of multivariate patterns, such as linear trends and clusters, on time-series dat...

Families or individuals requesting therapeutic consultation often present in the context of an overwhelming history of stressful and negative life events. Frequently, the pressure of such events obliterates memories of strengths and successes. This is particularly true by the time people reach inpatient psychiatric settings. This article outlines a technique designed to help people bring these ...

We formulate a proposal that covers a new definition of StoryLines based on the shared data provided by the NewsStory workshop. We re-use the SemEval 2015 Task 4: Timelines dataset to provide a gold-standard dataset and an evaluation measure for evaluating StoryLines extraction systems. We also present a system to explore the feasibility of capturing StoryLines automatically. Finally, based on ...

Results: MDTs can represent project-level attributes as they change over time, provided these attributes, and the empirical data about them, can be located in time (an analytical requirement) and can be represented in terms of the simple geometrical structures of points, lines and planes (a graphical requirement). Changes in attributes are documented at the point in time at which the change occ...

With this reinstallation, the Art Institute will hlly integrate, for the first time, computer technology as an interpretive tool in a permanent collection gallery. The museum's goal is to design an interactive multimedia program, tentatively named Cleopatra, that showcases 1 8 objects from our collection. Cleopatra will relate these objects through a variety of views of an information matrix us...

Computational music theory offers a wide variety of interesting geometric, combinatoric, and algorithmic problems. Some of these problems are illustrated for the special cases of rhythm and melody. In particular, several techniques useful for the teaching, analysis, generation and automated recognition of the rhythmic components of music are reviewed. A new measure of rhythm-evenness is describ...

Reliable software systems typically have a version release mechanism that is well organized and documented. This can be drawn upon to predict release timelines, which is helpful in gauging the quality of the software development and maintenance activity. In this paper we present initial results from developing and applying Predictux – a decision-tree-based framework to predict release times of ...

Previous multi-document relationship extraction and fusion research has focused on single relationships. Shifting the focus to multiple relationships allows for the use of mutual constraints to aid extraction. This paper presents a fusion method which uses a probabilistic database model to pick relationships which violate few constraints. This model allows improved performance on constructing c...
