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…

This paper describes the development of an image retrieval

information flows have been created with different kind of information
each one:…

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 work presents the main theories and models formulated with the purpose of offering a global overview on the acquisition of knowledge and skills involved in the initial development of expert competence. Setting from this background, we developed an empirical…

We develop a theory to explain the transition from stagnation to modern growth. We focus on the forces that shaped the evolution of total factor productivity in agriculture and manufacturing across history. More specifically, we build a multisector model of…

El proceso de informatizar el conocimiento necesario para conservar la biodiversidad de un país o región requiere de varias etapas de
desarrollo de sistemas de información. Típicamente se inicia con el manejo de datos en formatos analógicos y se continúa…

The extension to new languages is a well known bottleneck for rule-based systems. Considerable human effort, which typically consists in re-writing from scratch huge amounts of rules, is in fact required to transfer the knowledge available to the system from…

This paper evaluates the different tasks carried out in the translation of pronominal anaphora in a machine translation (MT) system. The MT interlingua approach named AGIR (Anaphora Generation with an Interlingua Representation) improves upon other proposals presented to date because…

The aim of this work is to analyse the teaching situation of Oral Standard Spanish. First, the indications
on pronunciation present in the official and unofficial normative documents, as well as in the
descriptive publications are revised. Secondly, it is…
