FOWLA, A Federated Architecture for Ontologies.
2015
International audience; The progress of information and communication technologies has greatly increased the quantity of data to process. Thus, managing data heterogeneity is a problem nowadays. In the 1980s, the concept of a Federated Database Architecture (FDBA) was introduced as a collection of components to unite loosely coupled federation. Semantic web technologies mitigate the data heterogeneity problem, however due to the data structure heterogeneity the integration of several ontologies is still a complex task. For tackling this problem, we propose a loosely coupled federated ontology architecture (FOWLA). Our approach allows the coexistence of various ontologies sharing common data…
Event-Based Trajectory Prediction Using Spiking Neural Networks
2021
International audience; In recent years, event-based sensors have been combined with spiking neural networks (SNNs) to create a new generation of bio-inspired artificial vision systems. These systems can process spatio-temporal data in real time, and are highly energy efficient. In this study, we used a new hybrid event-based camera in conjunction with a multi-layer spiking neural network trained with a spike-timing-dependent plasticity learning rule. We showed that neurons learn from repeated and correlated spatio-temporal patterns in an unsupervised way and become selective to motion features, such as direction and speed. This motion selectivity can then be used to predict ball trajectory…
ArchaeoKM: Managing Archaeological data through Archaeological Knowledge
2010
International audience; Nowadays, the use of ontologies in the field of the archaeology is a new direction of research that is not fully tested. Some results are very encouraging and challenge the vision of archaeological sites which cannot be modeled semantically. Most of the re-searches based on ontology technologies in the arc-haeology domain are based on the research of finding on a common ground for the interoperability and the integration of data. Papers like (LANG 2009), (KOLLIAS 2008) cover these research. The project ArchaeoKM is a shift from such researches. It focus-es on using the knowledge possessed by the archaeo-logists to model the data of an archaeological project, and to d…
A Federated Approach for Interoperating AEC/FM Ontologies
2016
International audience; Over the last few years, the benefits of applying ontologies (semantic graph modelling) for Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Facility Management (AEC/FM) industry have been recognized by several researchers and industry stakeholders. One of the main motivations is because it eases AEC data manipulation and representation. However, a research question that still remains open is how to take advantage of semantic web technologies to interoperate the AEC/FM and other ontologies in a flexible and dynamical way in order to solve data structure heterogeneity problem. Because of this, we propose in this paper to apply a rule-based federated architecture to answer …
Architectural Reconstruction of 3D Building Objects through Semantic Knowledge Management
2010
International audience; This paper presents an ongoing research which aims at combining geometrical analysis of point clouds and semantic rules to detect 3D building objects. Firstly by applying a previous semantic formalization investigation, we propose a classification of related knowledge as definition, partial knowledge and ambiguous knowledge to facilitate the understanding and design. Secondly an empirical implementation is conducted on a simplified building prototype complying with the IFC standard. The generation of empirical knowledge rules is revealed and semantic scopes are addressed both in the bottom up manner along the line of geometry --> topology --> semantic, and a vice ver…
THE IMAGE PROTECTOR A Flexible Security Rule Specification Toolkit
2011
International audience; The tremendous sharing of multimedia objects on the web shed the light on several privacy concerns related in essence to the safe publishing of end users' personal data. Providing techniques to protect multimedia objects faces several difficulties due to multimedia objects' heterogeneous and complex structure on one hand, and on the other hand, the wide range of information that could be used to describe their content. In this paper, we present a flexible security rule specification toolkit for multimedia objects. Our toolkit is based on a security model and a core ontology in which we populate the model's related information and multimedia objects data. To specify s…
Adding Knowledge Extracted by Association Rules into Similarity Queries
2010
International audience; In this paper, we propose new techniques to improve the quality of similarity queries over image databases performing association rule mining over textual descriptions and automatically extracted features of the image content. Based on the knowledge mined, each query posed is rewritten in order to better meet the user expectations. We propose an extension of SQL aimed at exploring mining processes over complex data, generating association rules that extract semantic information from the textual description superimposed to the extracted features, thereafter using them to rewrite the queries. As a result, the system obtains results closer to the user expectation than i…
Spatial Rules through Spatial Rule built-ins in SWRL
2010
International audience; The paper presents a method to include spatial rule within rule languages like SWRL to infer spatial rules within semantic web framework. The concept presented here could benefit both geospatial community as they benefit using the adjusted knowledge base to infer spatial rule and semantic web community as the inclusion of spatial data in its framework
Temporal Logic To Query Semantic Graphs Using The Model Checking Method
2012
International audience; Semantic interoperability problems have found their solutions due to the use of languages and techniques from the Semantic Web. The proliferations of ontologies and meta-information have improved the understanding of information and the relevance of search engine responses. However, the construction of semantic graphs is a source of numerous errors of interpretation or modeling, and scalability remains a major problem. The processing of large semantic graphs is a limit to the use of semantics in current information systems. The work presented in this paper is part of a new research at the border of two areas: the semantic web and the model checking. This line of rese…
ECO-generation for some restricted classes of compositions
2013
International audience; We study several restricted classes of compositions by giving one-to-one maps between them and different classes of restricted binary strings or pattern avoiding permutations. Inspired by the ECO method, new succession rules for these classes are presented. Finally, we obtain generating algorithms in Constant Amortized Time (CAT) for theses classes.
