En este artículo revisamos algunos resultados de experimentos realizados
con técnicas de Active Learning para establecer las bases del diseño de un sistema
de anotación de corpus. A partir de los datos experimentales diseñamos un sistema
modular que posibilita un…

Este trabajo se concentra en explorar los efectos potenciales de la educación media y el ambiente familiar sobre los resultados laborales de las jóvenes en Argentina. En particular, interesa la condición laboral, la calidad del empleo y los salarios. El…

Este trabajo explora la conexión entre el comercio y los resultados laborales en áreas rurales de América Latina al estimar modelos de regresión a nivel de hogar utilizando una combinación de microdatos de 60 encuestas de hogares y datos agregados.…

Vertical partitioning, in which attributes of a relation are
assigned to partitions, is aimed at improving database
performance. We extend previous research that is based on
a single relation to multi-relation database environment,
by including referential integrity constraints, access time

This paper is an attempt to define how a
specific data structure might be used to
store, in a persistent manner, temporal
information during a computer simulation.
In particular, it considers the sort of
temporal information generated during a
discrete…

The aim of this work was to identify the characteristics of the drug information provided by the Drug Information Center (DIC) of a university hospital. A cross-sectional study was conducted, identifying the profile of information requests (IRs) from January 2008…

The metric spaces model formalizes the similarity search concept in nontraditional databases. The goal is to build an index designed to save distance computations when answering similarity queries later. A large class of algorithms to build the index are based…

Minimization of query execution time is an important performance objective in distributed databases design. While total time is to be minimized for On Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) type queries, response time has to be minimized in Decision Support type queries.…

In situ hybridization (ISH) method allows to reveal specific genes expression, identify specific cell types and detect areas or tissues, displaying differential gene expression. This work describes a standardized procedure of digital image processing that allows detailed analyses of ISH…

Many computational applications need to look for information in a database. Nowadays, the predominance of nonconventional databases makes the similarity search (i.e., searching elements of the database that are "similar" to a given query) becomes a preponderant concept. The Spatial…
