Event time representation, propagation and prediction in temporal information extraction
Temporal information extraction is a challenging task due to the inherent ambiguity of language. Event time plays an important role in temporal information extraction, which can help ground events into a timeline and can help other temporal information extraction tasks such as temporal relation …

Temporal Reasoning in Clinical Narratives: From Information Extraction to Early Disease Detection
… This thesis presents a unified framework for temporally grounded patient modeling that integrates structured event representations, fine-grained temporal reasoning, and scalable predictive architectures. Initial experiments show that concept-based models paired with visit-level temporal …

Sunlight and the use of holographic diffraction grating : an environmental perspective
… of sunlight within a building establishes a temporal relation to the spatial structure. Early civilizations aligned buildings with the sun to designate specific calendar days. Gothic and Renaissance cathedrals employed the transient movement of sunlight to activate the interiors with …

Extended electrocardiographic monitoring in patients on chronic haemodialysis and after renal transplantation
… and July 2018 and analysed arrhythmic events in relation to clinical parameters and temporal relation to dialysis sessions. Results In this cohort of 17/20 patients (1 died prior to ILR download and 2 lost to follow-up), the median age was 38 years (IQR 27.5 – 45) and left ventricular ejection …

Understanding time in natural language text
… specifically addresses three key aspects of the temporal reasoning problem: time expression understanding, temporal relation extraction, and temporal common sense acquisition. Time expressions (e.g., yesterday or last month) often provide absolute time anchors for events. Temporal relations …

Deep learning for image restoration and enhancement
… multiple low-resolution (LR) frames in a local temporal window. The inter-frame temporal relation is as crucial as the intra-frame spatial relation for tackling this problem. We design deep networks for utilizing the temporal relation from two aspects. First, we propose a temporal adaptive …

The time course of sentence interpretation
… of implausible constructions to investigate the temporal relation of syntax-based interpretation to heuristics-based interpretation. Both self-paced reading and eyetracking data are supportive of a processing model in which syntax informs the interpretation process first, but is later overruled …

Mechanisms Underlying the Adverse Consequences of Stress: A Role for the Dynorphin/Kappa Opioid Receptor System, p38α MAPK, and the Serotonin Transporter
… potentiation of cocaine-CPP by modulating the temporal relation between cocaine treatment and stress exposure. I determined that stress-induced potentiation of cocaine-CPP was through modulation of cocaine or cocaine-associated cues, and not through modulation of associative learning or memory …

A visualized framework for representing uncertain and incomplete temporal knowledge
… and reasoning about incomplete and uncertain temporal information. It is both expressive and versatile, allowing logical conjunctions and disjunctions of both absolute and relative temporal relations, such as “Before”, “Meets”, “Overlaps”, “Starts”, “During”, and “Finishes”, etc. In terms of a …

Temporal Information Extraction and Knowledge Base Population
<p>Temporal Information Extraction (TIE) from text plays an important role in many Natural Language Processing and Database applications. Many features of the world are time-dependent, and rich temporal knowledge is required for a more complete and precise understanding of the world. In this thesis …

Modeling Integrated Cortical Learning: Explorations of Cortical Map Development, Unit Selectivity, and Object Recognition
… visual category learning, called the Temporal Relation Manifold TRM framework, which extends the object manifold framework of vision. With this new framework, I develop a model of hierarchical cortical learning that integrates biologically plausible models of axon development, simple …

Towards a general temporal theory
… herein addresses time representation and temporal reasoning in the domain of artificial intelligence. A general temporal theory, as an extension of Alien and Hayes', Gallon's and Vilain's theories, is proposed which treats both time intervals and time points on an equal footing; that is, …

The syntactic side of Time: processing Adverb-Verb Temporal Agreement
… underlying the online processing of adverb-verb temporal agreement, namely the coherence in temporal features between the verb and a deictic temporal adverb (e.g. YesterdayPAST I wentPAST/*will goFUT to the jazz concert), during sentence comprehension. There are at least two reasons that make the …

The Emergence of the Documentary Real within Relational and Post-Relational Political Aesthetics
The aim of this thesis is to conduct a post-relational reading of the programme of relational art and its influence upon current aesthetics. ‘Post’ is not used in the indicative sense here: it does not simply denote the passing of the high water mark of relational art’s critical reception. Rather, …

The role of sensus communis in Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Locke and Kant
… the spatial features of the rose and none of the temporal characteristics of the melody are perceived by any one of the five senses alone. Thus Aristotle started to enumerate those common qualities which he named "Common Sensibles," i.e., motion, form, number, magnitude and rest (and time). As we …
