This paper presents the automatic extension of TERSEO to other languages,
a knowledge-based system for the recognition and
normalization of temporal expressions, originally developed for
Spanish.

TERSEO was extended to English and Italian through the
automatic translation of the…

The successfulness of students at school is influenced by how the knowledge is attained. Family, media and the same age groups largely contribute to it. The recent Hungarian practice of home training is not so much attractive. A family is…

This paper presents a new system for recognition and imitation of a set of facial expressions using the visual information acquired by the robot. Besides, the proposed system detects and imitates the interlocutor’s head pose and motion. The approach described…

Diagnosis is an important process in patient care. A suitable diagnosis helps a physician determine a precise treatment. Physicians also have a tendency to seek collaboration from other colleagues and expert systems for better confidence in their decision. The sources…

The Mediterranean Amphipoda fauna has been widely studied and can be considered one of the best known in the world (Conradi & López-González 1999); however knowledge of the fauna is not uniform throughout the entire Mediterranean, being still fragmentary on…

In this paper, a method of event ordering based on temporal information resolution is presented. This method consists of two main steps: on the one hand, the recognition and resolution of the temporal expressions that can be transformed on a…

In this paper, a method to combine visual and force information using the
information obtained from the movement flow-based visual servoing system is proposed. This
method allows not only to achieve a given desired position but also to specify the…

In this paper, a restricted domain question answering (QA) system is described. The design architecture of this QA system and the features that allow the adaptation of the QA system to the medical domain are also presented. The advantages of…

This paper describes an adaptive and autocalibrated method to track surfaces. To do so, a non time
dependent impedance control system is proposed. This method fuses visual and force information to track a
given trajectory maintaining the contact with the…

Este artículo describe la integración de ontologías en formato OWL como
fuentes de conocimiento externas de un sistema de diálogo. El presente trabajo se
centra en conseguir un agente que gestione cualquier ontología independientemente
del dominio y sin perder expresividad…
