Event-related causality in stereo-EEG discriminates syntactic processing of noun phrases and verb phrases

Objective. Syntax involves complex neurobiological mechanisms, which are difficult to disentangle for multiple reasons. Using a protocol able to separate syntactic information from sound information we investigated the neural causal connections evoked by t ...

Multiscale pattern analysis of building replacements in Zurich from 2000 to 2019

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jingxian Ye

Building replacement (BR) – i.e., the demolition of existing structures and subsequent construction of new buildings on the same site – is often understood as a necessary urban planning strategy despite significant environmental implications regarding soli ...

Modeling Structured Data in Attention-based Models

Alireza Mohammadshahi

Natural language processing has experienced significant improvements with the development of Transformer-based models, which employ self-attention mechanism and pre-training strategies. However, these models still present several obstacles. A notable issue ...

Interpreting Rhythm as Parsing: Syntactic-Processing Operations Predict the Migration of Visual Flashes as Perceived During Listening to Musical Rhythms

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Steffen Alexander Herff, Gabriele Cecchetti

Music can be interpreted by attributing syntactic relationships to sequential musical events, and, computationally, such musical interpretation represents an analogous combinatorial task to syntactic processing in language. While this perspective has been ...

Gramatron: Effective Grammar-Aware Fuzzing

Mathias Josef Payer

Fuzzers aware of the input grammar can explore deeper program states using grammar-aware mutations. Existing grammar-aware fuzzers are ineffective at synthesizing complex bug triggers due to: (i) grammars introducing a sampling bias during input generation ...

High gamma response tracks different syntactic structures in homophonous phrases

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni

Syntax is a species-specific component of human language combining a finite set of words in a potentially infinite number of sentences. Since words are by definition expressed by sound, factoring out syntactic information is normally impossible. Here, we c ...

Harmonic Syntax in Time: Rhythm Improves Grammatical Models of Harmony

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Daniel Harasim

Music is hierarchically structured, both in how it is perceived by listeners and how it is composed. Such structure can be elegantly captured using probabilistic grammatical models similar to those used to study natural language. They address the complexit ...

Usefulness of ambient-vibration measurements for seismic assessment of existing structures

Ian Smith, Pierino Lestuzzi, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland

A large number of buildings in regions with low to medium seismic hazard have been designed without considering earthquake actions. Retrofitting of all buildings that fail to meet modern code requirements is economically, technically and environmentally un ...

Program repair without regret

Barbara Jobstmann

We present a new and flexible approach to repair reactive programs with respect to a specification. The specification is given in linear-temporal logic. Like in previous approaches, we aim for a repaired program that satisfies the specification and is synt ...

Discourse-level features for statistical machine translation

Thomas Meyer

Machine Translation (MT) has progressed tremendously in the past two decades. The rule-based and interlingua approaches have been superseded by statistical models, which learn the most likely translations from large parallel corpora. System design does not ...

Safety examination of existing concrete structures using the global resistance safety factor concept

Eugen Brühwiler

Current design procedures for structural concrete elements are based on member level (or local) safety checks, in the sense that the safety condition is evaluated at each cross-section individually. In the examination of existing structures, the exploitati ...

Lowering the global warming impact of bridge rehabilitations by using Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concretes

Emmanuel Denarié, Pierre Rossi

Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC)is charact erized by aunique combination of extremely low permeability, high strength and deformability. Extensive R&D works and applications over the last 10 years have demonstrated that cast on sit ...

Swiss Standards for Existing Structures

Eugen Brühwiler, Thomas Vogel

In January 2011, the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects (SIA) published a series of standards for existing structures. The standard entitled 'existing structures-bases for examination and interventions' specifies the principles, the terminology and ...

A novel multi-aspect consistency measurement for ontologies

Zoltán Miklós, Zhao Lu

Web developers have started to integrate semantic information to their systems increasingly often. The semantic metadata embedded with the resources is typically linked to ontologies or taxonomies. Meta information can bring a number of advantages for user ...

The new Swiss Codes for engineering of existing structures

Eugen Brühwiler

The new Swiss Codes for engineering of existing structures. The Schweizerische Ingenieur- und Architektenverein (Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects) introduces the series of Codes SIA 269 as a tool that will provide guidance for their members to sig ...
