In the Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), and sensor technologies huge and variety of streaming sensor data is generated. The unification of streaming sensor data is a challenging problem. Moreover, ...

Abstract. We present methods for image annotation and retrieval based on semantic cohesion among terms. On the one hand, we propose a region labeling technique that assigns an image the label that maximizes an estimate ...

The generation of semantic environment representations is still an open problem in robotics. Most of the current proposals are based on metric representations, and incorporate semantic information in a supervised fashion. ...

SemVisM is a toolbox that combines medical informatics and computer graphics tools for reducing the semantic gap between low-level features and high-level semantic concepts/terms in the images. This paper presents a novel ...

Any robot should be provided with a proper representation of its environment in order to perform navigation and other tasks. In addition to metrical approaches, topological mapping generates graph representations in which ...

Abstract. The meaning of such verb-noun collocations as the wind blows, time flies, the day passes by can be generalized as ‘what is designated by the noun exists’. Likewise, the meaning of make a decision, provide support, ...

Advancements in genome sequencing have led to the rapid accumulation of uncharacterized ‘hypothetical proteins’ in the public databases. Here we provide a community perspective and some best-practice approaches for the ...
