As more than half of the EU Member States already have rolled out electronic identity cards (eIDs) [Le13], it seems to be a rewarding approach to investigate whether and how eIDs may be used for the purpose of controlling the log-on process for operating systems and similar local access control facilities. While this paper shows that all currently rolled out eIDs may be used for such access con...

Language identification systems suffer when working with short texts or in domains with unconventional spelling, such as Twitter or other social media. These challenges are explored in a shared task for Language Identification in Code-Switched Data (LICS 2016). We apply a hierarchical neural model to this task, learning character and contextualized word-level representations to make word-level ...

I compare two birth-cohorts of married women and find that divorce-risk plays a significantly smaller role in the recent cohort’s labor supply decision. This suggests that any decline in America’s divorce rates will not substantially reduce married women’s labor supply.  2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

In response to disparate advances in delivering spatial information to support agricultural extension activities, the Extension Activity Support System (EASY) project was established to develop a vision statement and conceptual design for such a system based on a national needs assessment. Personnel from across Australia were consulted and a review of existing farm information/management softwa...

In [k] = [k]×[k]× · · · ×[k], a coordinate line consists of the collection of points where all but one coordinate is fixed and the unfixed coordinate varies over all possibilities. We consider the problem of marking (or designating) one point on each line in [k] so that each point in [k] is marked either a or b times, for some fixed a or b. This is equivalent to forming a strategy for a hat gue...

In this artide, I have considered the main FLT methods still in use at schools and presented the theory of language and leaming underiying them, their main features, activities and techniques, their foundation and decline, as well as a general assessment of ai! of them. The following methods have been analysed: the Grammar-Translation Method, the Structuralist Methods, and the Communicative App...

We demo an online system that tracks the availability of over four-hundred public SPARQL endpoints and makes up-to-date results available to the public. Our demo currently focuses on how often an endpoint is online/offline, but we plan to extend the system to collect metrics about available meta-data descriptions, SPARQL features supported, and performance for generic queries.
