The goal of Information Extraction tasks is to identify, categorize, classify, relate, and normalize specific information of interest found in free text, and to make that information available to a back-end data base, data fusion, or other application. A data structure referred to as a template is typically used for capturing such information, particularly in cases where the amount and complexi...

The World Wide Web is a vast and most useful collection of information. To achieve high productivity in publishing the web pages are automatically evaluated using common templates with contents. The templates are considered harmful because they compromise the relevance judgement of many web information retrieval and web mining methods such as clustering and classification and badly impact the p...

Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) fabricated by two step anodization technique, is used as a template to synthesize FeCo nanowire arrays by AC electrodeposition technique. Response surface methodology (RSM) is applied to design the experiments, fit an empirical model and optimize the conditions to achieve the best magnetic properties. The magnetic properties, pore dimensions, composition and structur...

Timely and accurate processing of crisis information and effective communication have been documented as critical elements of disaster relief operations. Despite the lessons learned from previous crises, preparing information for humanitarian assistance and ineffective information sharing remain a recurring and almost impossible task for relief agencies. The purpose of this paper is to propose ...

Template matching is a computationally intensive problem aimed at locating a template within a image. When dealing with images having more than one channel, the computational burden becomes even more dramatic. For this reason, in this paper we investigate on a methodology to speed-up template matching on multi-channel images without deteriorating the outcome of the search. In particular, we pro...

This paper gives an overview of how an OWL ontology has been created to represent template knowledge models defined in CML that are provided by CommonKADS. CommonKADS is a mature knowledge engineering methodology which proposes the use of template knowledge model for knowledge modelling. The aim of developing this ontology is to present the template knowledge model in a knowledge representation...

This work presents a way to describe GORMAS, an AgentOriented Software Engineering methodology, using the template proposed by the FIPA Design Process Documentation and Fragmentation Working Group. This template uses SPEM 2.0 notation and it is aimed at identifying the fragments of each process, in order to extract and reuse them in some different processes.

A central notion in Computational Anatomy is the generation of registration maps,mapping a large set of anatomical data to a common coordinate system to study intra-population variability and inter-population differences. In previous work [1, 2] methods for estimating the common coordinate system or the template given a collection imaging data were presented based on the notion of Fréchet mean ...

Recently, many Natural Language Processing applications have improved the quality of their output by using various machine learning techniques to mine Information Extraction patterns for capturing information from the input text. Currently, to mine IE patterns one should know in advance the type of the information which should be captured by these patterns. In this work we propose a novel metho...
