Le regroupement des neurones de propriétés similaires est à l’origine de modules permettant d’optimiser l’analyse de l’information. La conséquence est la présence de cartes fonctionnelles dans le cortex visuel primaire de certains mammifères pour de nombreux paramètres tels que l’orientation,…

Automatic knowledge discovery from texts (KDT) is proving to be a promising method for businesses today to deal
with the overload of textual information. In this paper, we first explore the possibilities for KDT to enhance communication in
virtual communities,…

This thesis looks for to facilitate the communication of the children with deficient of the speech by means of an electronic team where the SPC (Pictorial Symbols of Communication) to more than being visualized, they are listened, reproducing an audio…
