• Retractions onto series-parallel posets

  Dalmau, Víctor; Krokhin, Andrei; Larose, Benoit (Elsevier, 2008)

  The poset retraction problem for a poset P is whether a given poset Q containing P as a subposet admits a retraction onto P, that is, whether there is a homomorphism from Q onto P which fixes every element of P. We study ...
• Majority constraints have bounded pathwidth duality

  Dalmau, Víctor; Krokhin, Andrei (Elsevier, 2008)

  We study certain constraint satisfaction problems which are the problems of deciding whether there exists a homomorphism from a given relational structure to a fixed structure with a majority polymorphism. We show that ...
• On the overlap between bilingual language control and domain-general executive control

  Branzi, Francesca Martina, 1984-; Calabria, Marco; Boscarino, Maria Lucrezia; Costa, Albert (Elsevier, 2016)

  We explored the overlap between bilingual language control (bLC) and domain-general executive control (EC) by focusing on inhibitory control processes. We tested 62 bilinguals in linguistic and non-linguistic switching ...
• Competing engines of growth: innovation and standardization

  Acemoglu, Daron; Gancia, Gino; Zilibotti, Fabrizio (Elsevier, 2010)

  We study a dynamic general equilibrium model where innovation takes the form of the introduction of new goods whose production requires skilled workers. Innovation is followed by a costly process of standardization, where ...
• Why do emerging economies borrow short term?

  Broner, Fernando; Lorenzoni, Guido; Schumkler, Sergio L. (Wiley, 2013)

  We argue that one reason why emerging economies borrow short term is that it is cheaper than borrowing long term. This is especially the case during crises, as in these episodes the relative cost of long-term borrowing ...
• Las dimensiones sociales de la percepción de la energía nuclear. Un análisis del caso español (1960-2015)

• Grounding semantic roles in images

  Silberer, Carina; Pinkal, Manfred (ACL (Association for Computational Linguistics), 2018)

  We address the task of visual semantic role labeling (vSRL), the identification of the participants of a situation or event in a visual scene, and their labeling with their semantic relations to the event or situation. We ...
• Rising declaratives of the quality-suspending kind

  Westera, Matthijs (Ubiquity Press, 2018)

  The theory of Intonational Compliance Marking (ICM) maintains that speakers of English use final rising intonation to indicate a suspension (potential violation) of a conversational maxim (Westera 2013; 2014). This paper ...
• Survey on automatic lip-reading in the era of deep learning

  Fernandez-Lopez, Adriana; Sukno, Federico Mateo (Elsevier, 2018)
