Recent advances in Swedish and Spanish medical entity recognition in clinical texts using deep neural approaches
(BMC, 2019-12-23)
Background Text mining and natural language processing of clinical text, such as notes from electronic health records, requires specific consideration of the specialized characteristics of these texts. Deep learning methods ...
A Dialogue-Act Taxonomy for a Virtual Coach Designed to Improve the Life of Elderly
(MDPI, 2019-07-11)
This paper presents a dialogue act taxonomy designed for the development of a conversational agent for elderly. The main goal of this conversational agent is to improve life quality of the user by means of coaching sessions ...
Corrective Focus Detection in Italian Speech Using Neural Networks
(Óbuda University, 2018-11)
The corrective focus is a particular kind of prosodic prominence where the speaker is intended to correct or to emphasize a concept. This work develops an Artificial Cognitive System (ACS) based on Recurrent ...
Unlocking the Potential of Magnetotactic Bacteria as Magnetic Hyperthermia Agents
(Wiley, 2019-10)
Magnetotactic bacteria are aquatic microorganisms that internally biomineralize chains of magnetic nanoparticles (called magnetosomes) and use them as a compass. Here it is shown that magnetotactic bacteria of the strain ...
Detection of Sarcasm and Nastiness: New Resources for Spanish Language
(Springer, 2018-06-29)
The main goal of this work is to provide the cognitive computing community with valuable resources to analyze and simulate the intentionality and/or emotions embedded in the language employed in social media. Specifically, ...
User-Aware Dialogue Management Policies over Attributed Bi-Automata
(Springer, 2018-07-30)
Designing dialogue policies that take user behavior into account is complicated due to user vari- ability and behavioral uncertainty. Attributed Prob- abilistic Finite State Bi-Automata (A-PFSBA) have proven to be a promising ...
Bi-modal annoyance level detection from speech and text
(Sociedad Española para el Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural, 2018-09)
The main goal of this work is the identification of emotional hints from speech. Machine learning researchers have analysed sets of acoustic parameters as potential cues for the identification of discrete emotional categories ...
Stability and Limit Oscillations of a Control Event-Based Sampling Criterion
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)
This paper investigates the presence of limit oscillations in an adaptive sampling system. The basic sampling criterion operates in the sense that each next sampling occurs when the absolute difference of the signal amplitude ...
EMPATHIC: Empathic, Expressive, Advanced Virtual Coach to Improve Independent Healthy-Life-Years of the Elderly
(Sociedad Española para el Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural, 2018-09)
The EMPATHIC project will research, innovate, explore and validatenew paradigms and platforms, laying the foundation for future generations of Per-sonalised Virtual Coaches to assist elderly people living independently ...
A Novel Micro- and Nano-Scale Positioning Sensor Based on Radio Frequency Resonant Cavities
(MDPI, 2014-06)
In many micro- and nano-scale technological applications high sensitivity displacement sensors are needed, especially in ultraprecision metrology and manufacturing. In this work a new way of sensing displacement based on ...
