The use of context-concept education alongside existing
approaches is valuable. In this article we introduce a threedomain
model for concept-context learning that supports
both the design process as well as the idea of concept
learning. The model shows how practical…

Communication over interference channels poses challenges not present for the more traditional
additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. In order to approach the information
limits of an interference channel, interference mitigation techniques need to be
integrated with channel coding and…

In this work we present a reactive autonomous robot navigation system based only on omnidirectional vision. It does not rely on any prior knowledge about the environment apart from assuming a structured one, like indoor corridors or outdoor avenues. The…

One important purpose for creating clinical practice guidelines is to improve quality of care by reducing variations in practice. In the current healthcare environment, guidelines are being advocated as a means to disseminate research findings, standardize care, improve quality of…

Social knowledge is one of the key aspects of MAS in order to face complex problems in dynamical environments. However, it is usually incorporated without specific support on behalf of the platform and that does not let agents take all…

This paper discusses questions about communication of probabilistic knowledge in the light of current theories of agent communication. It will argue that there is a semantic gap between these theories and research areas related to probabilistic knowledge representation and communication,…

Algunas aplicaciones del procesamiento del lenguaje natural, p.ej. la traducción
automática, requieren una base de conocimiento provista de representaciones conceptuales que
puedan reflejar la estructura del sistema cognitivo del ser humano. En cambio, tareas como la
indización automática o la…

Este artículo presenta un nuevo método totalmente automático de
construcción de bases de conocimiento muy densas y precisas a partir de recursos
semánticos preexistentes. Básicamente, el método usa un algoritmo de Interpretación Semántica de las palabras preciso y de amplia…

En muchas bases de conocimiento para el PLN prevalece actualmente un enfoque lexicista. En cambio, FunGramKB utiliza la ontología como módulo pivote entre los niveles léxicos y cognitivos, convirtiéndose así en el componente más importante. El propósito de este artículo…

The decline in Pharmaceutical R&D productivity has been attributed to high clinical failure rates suggesting that targets, leads and clinical candidates may be of lower quality in recent years. Senior R&D management generally believes that a greater integration of drug…
