• Identification and extraction of memes represented as semantic networks from free text online forums

  Beck-Fernández, Héctor; Nettleton, David F. (UNLISTED PUBLISHER, 2015)

  Memes have recently come into vogue in the context of 'viral' transmission of basic information units in online social networks. However, from their original general definition in a sociological context, there is still ...
• Analyzing the influence of pitch quantization and note segmentation on singing voice alignment in the context of audio-based Query-by-Humming

  Valero-Mas, Jose J.; Salamon, Justin; Gómez Gutiérrez, Emilia, 1975- (Maynooth University, 2015)

  Query-by-Humming (QBH) systems base their operation on aligning the melody sung/hummed by a user with a set of candidate melodies retrieved from polyphonic songs. While MIDI-based QBH builds on the premise of ...

  Nuanáin, Cárthach Ó; Herrera Boyer, Perfecto, 1964-; Jordà Puig, Sergi (Maynooth University, 2015)

  Composing drum patterns and musically developing them through repetition and variation is a typical task in electronic music production. We propose a system that, given an input pattern, automatically creates related ...

  Background Evidence from previous studies suggests that bilingualism contributes to cognitive reserve because bilinguals manifest the first symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) up to 5 years later than monolinguals. Other ...
• Image-based 3D characterization of abdominal aortic aneurysm deformation after endovascular aneurysm repair

  López-Linares, Karen; García, Inmaculada; García, Ainhoa; Cortes, Camilo; Macía, Iván; González Ballester, Miguel Ángel, 1973- (Frontiers, 2019)

  An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a focal dilation of the abdominal aorta, that if not treated, tends to grow and may rupture. The most common treatment for AAAs is the endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), which requires ...
• The effects of population tuning and trial-by-trial variability on information encoding and behavior

  Nogueira, Ramon; Peltier, Nicole E.; Anzai, Akiyuki; DeAngelis, Gregory C.; Martínez-Trujillo, Julio; Moreno-Bote, Rubén (Society for Neuroscience, 2020)

  Identifying the features of population responses that are relevant to the amount of information encoded by neuronal populations is a crucial step toward understanding population coding. Statistical features, such as tuning ...
• Issues with common assumptions about the camera pipeline and their impact in hdr imaging from multiple exposures

  Gil Rodríguez, Raquel; Vazquez-Corral, Javier; Bertalmío, Marcelo (SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics), 2019)

  Multiple-exposure approaches for high dynamic range (HDR) image generation share a set of building assumptions: that color channels are independent and that the camera response function (CRF) remains constant while changing ...
• On the nature of the word-reduction phenomenon: the contribution of bilingualism

  Rodriguez-Cuadrado, Sara; Baus, Cristina; Costa, Albert, 1970- (MDPI, 2019)

  Word reduction refers to how predictable words are shortened in features such as duration, intensity, or pitch. However, its origin is still unclear: Are words reduced because it is the second time that conceptual ...
• Robust algorithms with polynomial loss for near-unanimity CSPs

  Dalmau, Víctor; Kozik, Marcin; Krokhin, Andrei; Makarychev, Konstantin; Makarychev, Yury; Opršal, Jakub (SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics), 2019)

  An instance of the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is given by a family of constraints on overlapping sets of variables, and the goal is to assign values from a fixed domain to the variables so that all constraints ...
• Primate amygdala neurons simulate decision drocesses of social partners

  Grabenhorst, Fabian; Báez-Mendoza, Raymundo; Genest, Wilfried; Deco, Gustavo; Schultz, Wolfram (Elsevier, 2019)

  By observing their social partners, primates learn about reward values of objects. Here, we show that monkeys’ amygdala neurons derive object values from observation and use these values to simulate a partner monkey’s ...
• Low entropy map of brain oscillatory activity identifies spatially localized events

  Vila-Vidal, Manel; Pérez-Enríquez, Carmen; Principe, Alessandro; Rocamora, Rodrigo; Deco, Gustavo; Tauste Campo, Adrià (Elsevier, 2020)

  The spatial mapping of localized events in brain activity critically depends on the correct identification of the pattern signatures associated with those events. For instance, in the context of epilepsy research, a number ...
• Human confidence judgments reflect reliability-based hierarchical integration of contextual information

  Schustek, Philipp; Hyafil, Alexandre; Moreno-Bote, Rubén (Nature Research, 2019)

  Our immediate observations must be supplemented with contextual information to resolve ambiguities. However, the context is often ambiguous too, and thus it should be inferred itself to guide behavior. Here, we introduce ...
• Disrupted brain structural connectivity in pediatric bipolar disorder with psychosis

  Fernandes, Henrique M.; Cabral, Joana; van Hartevelt, Tim J.; Lord, Louis-David; Gleesborg, Carsten; Møller, Arne; Deco, Gustavo; Whybro, Peter C.; Petrovic, Predrag; James, Anthony C.; Kringelbach, Morten L. (Nature Research, 2019)

  Bipolar disorder (BD) has been linked to disrupted structural and functional connectivity between prefrontal networks and limbic brain regions. Studies of patients with pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) can help elucidate ...

  Naro, Daniel; Rummel, Christian; Schindler, Kaspar A.; Andrzejak, Ralph Gregor (American Physical Society, 2014)

  The rank-based nonlinear predictability score was recently introduced as a test for determinism in point processes. We here adapt this measure to time series sampled from time-continuous flows. We use noisy Lorenz signals ...
