This paper describes the automatic creation of semantic networks from Wikipedia. Following Lipczak et al. (2014), we constructed the graphs corresponding to the semantic networks by merging across languages the categories manually assigned by the users. This results in a network of related concepts for each entity of Wikipedia. We used these networks as a component of an entity linking system. the

Many problems in computer vision, such as stereo, segmentation and denoising can be formulated as pseudo-boolean optimization problems. Over the last decade, graphs cuts have become a standard tool for solving such problems. The last couple of years have seen a great advancement in the methods used to minimize pseudoboolean functions of higher order than quadratic. In this paper, we give an overvi

Ultra-low power (ULP) biomedical implants and sensor nodes typically require small memories of a few kb, while previous work on reliable subthreshold (sub-VT) memories targets several hundreds of kb. Standard-cell based memories (SCMs) are a straightforward approach to realize robust sub- VT storage arrays and fill the gap of missing sub-VT memory compilers. This paper presents an ultra-low-leakag

We investigate the use of particle filter (PF) estimation techniques on a hovercraft vehicle in an office environment. Monte Carlo Localization (MCL) with particle filtering is a popular method for localizing robots with laser range finders. In maps featuring long, uniform corridors though, a PF can produce low confidence estimates. When used as feedback to control an unstable vehicle this can pro

Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) including obstructive and central sleep apnoea/ hypopnoea as well as periodic breathing (PB) is common and is believed to increase risk for mortality in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Mandibular advancement device (MAD) has widely been recommended for treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea but the method has never been investigated for treatment of SD

Den icke-fiktiva svenska naturskildringen har så gott som uteslutande förknippats med manliga namn. I den här undersökande essän vill jag vidga fältet genom att presentera ett antal kvinnliga skribenter och deras olika förhållande till naturen: Esther och Ruth Kolthoff, Karin Jansson, Elsa af Trolle, Harriet Hjorth, Margit Geijer, Margaret von Bismarck, Margareta Ekström, Ingegerd Möller.

The pioneering academic research on Merchant Marks (also known as identity marks, personal marks, ownership marks, identification marks, Hausmarken, Hofmarken, Marques de Propriété, bomärken) was done by professor Homeyer (1870). Since 1870 there has been an ongoing debate among scholars whether Merchant Marks are simply formed by chance and coincidence, as stated by Rehnberg (1938, 1951), Scheffe

The purpose of the study is to investigate how board structure influences CEO compensation for companies listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange in 2004. The theoretical frame of reference is based upon the corporate governance theory, the principal-agent theory and previous empirical research in the area. A cross sectional regression analysis is used, where a number of control variables are includ

Critical evaluation of the World Missionary Conference, Edinburgh 1910, from the perspective of later 20th century developments in Christian mission and ecumenism, with special attention to the global South and postcolonial analysis.
