Local Search and Backtracking vs Non-Systematic Backtracking

This paper addresses the following question: what is the essential difference between stochastic local search (LS) and systematic backtracking (BT) that gives LS superior scalability? One possibility is LS’s lack of firm commitment to any variable assignment. Three BT algorithms are modified to have this feature by introducing randomness into the choice of backtracking variable: a forward check...

Combining Language and Vision with a Multimodal Skip-gram Model

We extend the SKIP-GRAM model of Mikolov et al. (2013a) by taking visual information into account. Like SKIP-GRAM, our multimodal models (MMSKIP-GRAM) build vector-based word representations by learning to predict linguistic contexts in text corpora. However, for a restricted set of words, the models are also exposed to visual representations of the objects they denote (extracted from natural i...

manipulation in dubbing and subtitling

پژوهش حاضر در چارچوب مکتب دستکاری قرار گرفت و با استفاده از تقسیم بندی دوکات (2007) از شیوه های دستکاری، به دنبال یافتن پاسخ برای پرسش های زیر بود: 1-رایج ترین شیوه دستکاری در دوبله فیلم ها کدام است؟ 2-رایج ترین شیوه دستکاری در زیرنویس فیلم ها کدام است؟ 3-دستکاری در دوبله فیلم ها رایج تر است یا در زیرنویس آن ها؟ این پژوهش از نوع تحقیقات توصیفی- مقایسه ای و پیکره ای می باشد. پیکره تحقیق شا...
