Lightning activity in the Southern Coast of Chile
(2014)
Based on eight years of lightning data (from January 2005 to December 2012) from the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) we describe the spatial distribution and temporal variability of lightning activity over ...
A Natural Language Instructor for pedestrian navigation based in generation by selection
(Association for Computational Linguistics, 2014)
In this paper we describe a method for developing a virtual instructor for pedestrian navigation based on real interactions between a human instructor and a human pedestrian. A virtual instructor is an agent capable ...
A comparison of preschool and elementary school children learning computer science concepts through a multilanguage robot programming platform
(2015)
This paper describes a school intervention to teach fundamental Computer Science (CS) concepts to 3-11 year old students with a multilanguage robot programming platform (using drag and drop, Python and C++ languages) in ...
Longitudinal gradient-coil with improved uniformity within the volume of interest
(2014)
We present a longitudinal magnetic fieldgradient-coil with optimized uniformity within the volume ofinterest (VOI). The accuracy of the optimization algorithm wasconfronted with measurements of the spatial dependence of ...
Corrosion of steel alloys with ferrite coating
(2015)
The corrosion protection offered by coatings of hexagonal Sr ferrites on steel samples in the presence of chloride was evaluated by electrochemical techniques. Different samples were prepared using Nd-Co doped and un-doped ...
On the robustness of standalone referring expression generation algorithms using RDF data
(2016)
A sub-task of Natural Language Generation (NLG) is the generation of referring expressions (REG). REG algorithms are expected to select attributes that unambiguously identify an entity with respect to a set of distractors. ...
Reversing uncertainty sampling to improve active learning schemes
(2015)
Active learning provides promising methods to optimize the cost of manually annotating a dataset. However, practitioners in many areas do not massively resort to such methods because they present technical difficulties and ...
Using robustness to learn to order semantic properties in referring expression generation
(2016)
A sub-task of Natural Language Generation (NLG) is the generation of referring expressions (REG). REG algorithms aim to select attributes that unambiguously identify an entity with respect to a set of distractors. Previous ...
Licentia : a tool for supporting users in data licensing on the web of data
(2014)
Associating a license to data is a fundamental task when publishing data on the Web. However, in many cases data producers and publishers are not legal experts, and they usually have only a basic knowledge about the possible ...
A multimodal corpus of rapid dialogue games
(2014)
This paper presents a multimodal corpus of spoken human-human dialogues collected as participants played a series of Rapid DialogueGames (RDGs). The corpus consists of a collection of about 11 hours of spoken audio, video, ...
