There is an increasing need for technology for merging semi-structured information (such as structured reports) from heterogeneous sources. For this, we advocate a knowledgebased approach when the information to be merged incorporates diverse, and potentially complex, conflicts (inconsistencies). In this paper, we contrast the goals of knowledge-based merging with other technologies such as sem...

A general practice in the research of metaphor has been to investigate its behavior and function in different contexts. This current study aims to investigate the notion that verbs possess a metaphor-making potential, this being an initiatory context-free experiment with metaphor. The goal of this paper is to carry out an in-depth case study of a group of English core verbs using WordNet and SU...

This paper presents a framework proposal aiming at analysing 3D spontaneous referring gestures which occur in multimodal interactions. Our approach is co mposed by two main steps: a structural segmentation of 3D continuous gestural signal and a perception or iented interpretation stage. Both modules which already exist have now to be merged, and the whole process validated with actual t ajector...

The Problem: The extent of previous work on processor in memory systems using merged DRAM-logic process technology [1, 2, 3, 4] indicates that the technology has great promise. Most of the results to date, however, have been architectural studies with simulation results or proposed architectures. Relatively few designs make it to final silicon due to the prohibitively high Non-Recurring Enginee...
