A Practical Procedure to Integrate the First 1:500 Urban Map of Valencia into a Tile-Based Geospatial Information System

[EN] The use of geographic data from early maps is a common approach to understanding urban geography as well as to study the evolution of cities over time. The specific goal of this paper is to provide a means for the integration of the first 1:500 urban map of the city of Valencia (Spain) on a tile-based geospatial system. We developed a workflow consisting of three stages: the digitization of the original 421 map sheets, the transformation to the European Terrestrial Reference System of 1989 (ETRS89), and the conversion to a tile-based file format, where the second stage is clearly the most mathematically involved. The second stage actually consists of two steps, one transformation from the pixel reference system to the 1929 local reference system followed by a second transformation from the 1929 local to the ETRS89 system. The last stage comprises a map reprojection to adapt to tile-based geospatial standards. The paper describes a pilot study of one map sheet and results showed that the affine and bilinear transformations performed well in both transformations with average residuals under 6 and 3 cm respectively. The online viewer developed in this study shows that the derived tile-based map conforms to common standards and lines up well with other raster and vector datasets.Villar-Cano, M.; Jiménez-Martínez, MJ.; Marqués-Mateu, Á.

Siamese hierarchical attention networks for extractive summarization

[EN] In this paper, we present an extractive approach to document summarization based on Siamese Neural Networks. Specifically, we propose the use of Hierarchical Attention Networks to select the most relevant sentences of a text to make its summary. We train Siamese Neural Networks using document-summary pairs to determine whether the summary is appropriated for the document or not. By means of a sentence-level attention mechanism the most relevant sentences in the document can be identified. Hence, once the network is trained, it can be used to generate extractive summaries. The experimentation carried out using the CNN/DailyMail summarization corpus shows the adequacy of the proposal. In summary, we propose a novel end-to-end neural network to address extractive summarization as a binary classification problem which obtains promising results in-line with the state-of-the-art on the CNN/DailyMail corpus.This work has been partially supported by the Spanish MINECO and FEDER founds under project AMIC (TIN2017-85854-C4-2-R).

Three dimensional analysis of particulates in mineral processing systems by cone beam X-ray microtomography

Journal ArticleIn general, X-ray-computed tomographic (CT) techniques are capable of providing three-dimensional images of the internal structure of opaque materials in a nondestructive manner. The unique cone beam geometry allows acquisition of all two-dimensional projections with only one rotation of the sample, thus providing for fast data acquisition and better X-ray utilization, as a complete two-dimensional detector array receives the cone-shaped flux of rays. Thus, an isotropic three-dimensional volume can be reconstructed without the mechanical translation and the stacking of sequential slices, as is the case for more conventional CT scanners. In this regard, a state-of-the-art, custom designed X-ray microtomography facility to provide very detailed three-dimensional spatial analysis of packed beds of multiphase particles was installed and is in operation at the University of Utah. The reconstructed three-dimensional tomographic volume allows for spatial resolution as small as 5 [imfor sample dimensions of up to 40 mm in diameter. Utilization of this custom-designed cone-beam X-ray microtomography facility for the analysis of particulate systems in three dimensions is discussed. Applications described include coal washability analysis for the design and operation of coal-preparation plants, liberation analysis for the evaluation of grinding practice and separation efficiency, mineral exposure analysis for the prediction of the ultimate recovery from heapleaching operations, three-dimensional particle shape analysis to classify particle populations and, finally, analysis of the pore-structure network of packed particle beds for simulation of flow through such porous structures as encountered infiltration and heap leaching. The initial results from these studies demonstrate the potential utility of detailed three-dimensional microCT information for improved design and operation of mineral processing methods

Summarization of Spanish Talk Shows with Siamese Hierarchical Attention Networks

[EN] In this paper, we present an approach to Spanish talk shows summarization. Our approach is based on the use of Siamese Neural Networks on the transcription of the show audios. Specifically, we propose to use Hierarchical Attention Networks to select the most relevant sentences for each speaker about a given topic in the show, in order to summarize his opinion about the topic. We train these networks in a siamese way to determine whether a summary is appropriate or not. Previous evaluation of this approach on summarization task of English newspapers achieved performances similar to other state-of-the-art systems. In the absence of enough transcribed or recognized speech data to train our system for talk show summarization in Spanish, we acquire a large corpus of document-summary pairs from Spanish newspapers and we use it to train our system. We choose this newspapers domain due to its high similarity with the topics addressed in talk shows. A preliminary evaluation of our summarization system on Spanish TV programs shows the adequacy of the proposal.This work has been partially supported by the Spanish MINECO and FEDER founds under project AMIC (TIN2017-85854-C4-2-R).

Automatic classification of human facial features based on their appearance

[EN] Classification or typology systems used to categorize different human body parts have existed for many years. Nevertheless, there are very few taxonomies of facial features. Ergonomics, forensic anthropology, crime prevention or new human-machine interaction systems and online activities, like e-commerce, e-learning, games, dating or social networks, are fields in which classifications of facial features are useful, for example, to create digital interlocutors that optimize the interactions between human and machines. However, classifying isolated facial features is difficult for human observers. Previous works reported low inter-observer and intra-observer agreement in the evaluation of facial features. This work presents a computer-based procedure to automatically classify facial features based on their global appearance. This procedure deals with the difficulties associated with classifying features using judgements from human observers, and facilitates the development of taxonomies of facial features. Taxonomies obtained through this procedure are presented for eyes, mouths and noses.Fuentes-Hurtado, F.; Diego-Mas, JA.; Naranjo Ornedo, V.; Alcañiz Raya, ML. (2019).

Hypermedia-based discovery for source selection using low-cost linked data interfaces

Evaluating federated Linked Data queries requires consulting multiple sources on the Web. Before a client can execute queries, it must discover data sources, and determine which ones are relevant. Federated query execution research focuses on the actual execution, while data source discovery is often marginally discussed-even though it has a strong impact on selecting sources that contribute to the query results. Therefore, the authors introduce a discovery approach for Linked Data interfaces based on hypermedia links and controls, and apply it to federated query execution with Triple Pattern Fragments. In addition, the authors identify quantitative metrics to evaluate this discovery approach. This article describes generic evaluation measures and results for their concrete approach. With low-cost data summaries as seed, interfaces to eight large real-world datasets can discover each other within 7 minutes. Hypermedia-based client-side querying shows a promising gain of up to 50% in execution time, but demands algorithms that visit a higher number of interfaces to improve result completeness

Natural language processing

Beginning with the basic issues of NLP, this chapter aims to chart the major research activities in this area since the last ARIST Chapter in 1996 (Haas, 1996), including: (i) natural language text processing systems - text summarization, information extraction, information retrieval, etc., including domain-specific applications; (ii) natural language interfaces; (iii) NLP in the context of www and digital libraries ; and (iv) evaluation of NLP systems
