Language and music are human universals involving perceptually discrete elements organized in hierarchically structured sequences. The set of principles governing the combination of these structural elements into sequences is known as syntax. A violation of expectancies concerning syntactic regularities may be reflected by two ERP components: the ERAN (early right anterior negativity) and the E...

We show how to add Input/Output capabilities to the ELAN rewriting interpreter using a rewrite speciication of-calculus. This I/O system has the advantage of being totally explicit and t in the same semantic framework than any other \application program". An actual implementation shows the eeectiveness of this approach.

This paper presents an overview on the use of the rewriting calculus to express rewrite strategies. We motivate first the use of rewrite strategies by examples in the ELAN language. We then show how this has been modeled in the initial version of the rewriting calculus and how the matching power of this framework facilitates the representation of powerful strategies.

We have been undertaking a systematic survey at 850 μm based on sample of four prototypical z ∼ 2 − 3 enormous Ly α nebulae (ELANe) as well their megaparsec-scale (Mpc-scale) environments to study the physical connections between ELANe and coeval dusty submillimeter galaxies (SMGs). By analysing SCUBA-2 data with self-consistent Monte Carlo simulations construct number counts, here, we report o...

Rewriting techniques are now recognized as a fundamental concept in many areas of computer science including mechanized theorem proving and operational semantics of programming languages. From a conceptual as well as operational point of view, the notion of rewrite rule application is crucial. It leads immediately to the concept of rewriting strategy which fully defines the way several rules ar...

ELAN is a multimedia annotation tool that has been developed for roughly ten years now and is still being extended and improved in, on average, two or three major updates per year. This paper describes the current state of the application, the main areas of attention of the past few years and the plans for the near future. The emphasis will be on various interoperability issues: interoperabilit...

The NGCS is based on neuroscience research. While previous gesture classification systems were developed on the basis of gesture observation and their categories were heuristical, the NGCS links the phenomenology to the neurobiology of gestures. The theoretical assumption behind the NGCS is that its main kinetic and functional gesture categories are differentially associated with specific cogni...
