Computational Intelligence Methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics
This volume LNCS 15276 constitutes the revised selected papers of the 19th International Meeting on Computational Intelligence Methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics, CIBB 2024, held in Benevento, Italy, during September 4–6, 2024. The 24 full papers and 3 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 28 submissions. They were organized in the following topical sections: Bioinformatics; Medical Informatics; Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models (LLM) for Unstructured Data in Health Informatics; Modeling and Simulation Methods for Computational Biology and Systems Medicine; Machine Learning for Structured Data in Clinical Informatics and Medical Biology; Computational Intelligence in Personalized Medicine; and Computational Structural Bioinformatics.
Computational Intelligence Methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics
The book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 18th International Meeting on Computational Intelligence Methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics, CIBB 2023, held in Padova, Italy, during September 6–8, 2023. The 23 full papers presented in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. They focuses on topics such as machine learning in healthcare informatics and medical biology; machine learning explainability in medical imaging; prediction uncertainty in machine learning; advanced statistical and computational methodologies for single-cell omics data; present and future research in bioinformatics; distributed computing in bioinformatics and computational biology; and modelling and simulation methods for computational biology and systems medicine.
Translation Education
This book features invited contributions based on the presentations at the First World Interpreter and Translator Training Association (WITTA) Congress, held in Guangzhou, China, in November 2016. Covering a wide range of topics in translation education, it includes papers on the latest developments in the field, theoretical discussions, and the practical implementation of translation courses and programs. Given its scope, the book appeals to translation scholars and practitioners, education policymakers, and language and education service providers.
Prosodic and Rhythmic Aspects of L2 Acquisition
In recent years, prosodic competence has become increasingly important in second language acquisition studies, as it is a crucial element in the identification of non-native pronunciation and message understanding. This volume is the first attempt to provide a survey of interlanguage prosody research in L2 Italian. It begins with an overview of the possible approaches to the study of rhythmic-prosodic skills acquisition in an L2. The second part of the book emphasizes the relationship between the mother tongue and a second language, and investigates the presence of transfer in prosody interlanguage development. The third part illustrates prosody’s role in the interpretation of pragmatic meaning in native-non-native interaction, and its influence on message persuasiveness. And in the fourth part, technology meets prosody in the areas of second language teaching and speech synthesis.
Body Schema and Body Image
Following on from Shaun Gallagher's influential 2005 book How the Body Shapes the Mind, this volume brings together leading experts from the fields of philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, and psychiatry in a productive dialogue, exploring key questions and debates about the relationship between body schema and body image.
Towards a New Standard
In many European languages the National Standard Variety is converging with spoken, informal, and socially marked varieties. In Italian this process is giving rise to a new standard variety called Neo-standard Italian, which partly consists of regional features. This book contributes to current research on standardization in Europe by offering a comprehensive overview of the re-standardization dynamics in Italian. Each chapter investigates a specific dynamic shaping the emergence of Neo-standard Italian and Regional Standard Varieties, such as the acceptance of previously non-standard features, the reception of Old Italian features excluded from the standard variety, the changing standard la...
Lodovico Pontano (ca. 1409-1439)
The short but fiery career of the famous jurist Lodovico Pontano (†1439) led from the universities of Bologna, Florence, Rome and Siena, the Roman curia and the court of Alfonso V of Aragón to the Council of Basel where he became rapidly one of the major conciliarist leaders and died at the age of only 30 years of the plague. Pontano’s biography and the sequential analysis of his largely unedited works shows how a man of learning managed to present his legal skills, later enhanced by persuasive theological arguments, as an expertise indispensable for government and to make himself so essential that he could regularly afford to break his contracts. The first edition of ten important tracts and speeches completes the work.
