In this paper we investigate whether the MSCI EURO index can be predicted based on the content of European Central Bank (ECB) statements. We propose a new model to retrieve information from free text and transform it into a quantitative output. For this purpose, we first identify all adjectives in an ECB statement by using the Stanford Part-of-Speech Tagger and feed these to the General Inquirer (GI)...
The recent introduction of smartphones has resulted in an explosion of innovative mobile applications. The computational requirements of many of these applications, however, can not be met by the smartphone itself.

However, these applications need finding accurate transformations between slides and video...
The energy-constrained wireless sensor nodes require the designs of energy-efficient content authentication protocols. In this paper, we combine the approaches of cryptography and content analysis to propose a new light-weight content authentication framework Cobra. In Cobra, only a small fraction of transmitted packets are protected with signatures. The unprotected packets are authenticated using...
