Computational Laughing: Automatic Recognition of Humorous One-liners

Humor is one of the most interesting and puzzling aspects of human behavior. Despite the attention it has received in fields such as philosophy, linguistics, and psychology, there have been only few attempts to create computational models for humor recognition or generation. In this paper, we bring empirical evidence that computational approaches can be successfully applied to the task of humor...

Variability in LINERs

A small number of LINERs have been seen to display variable Hα emission with a very broad, double-peaked profile. Recent observations with the Hubble Space Telescope indicate that such emission may be a common attribute of LINERs. The double-peaked or doubleshouldered line profiles resemble those found in a subset of broad-line radio galaxies. Several lines of argument suggest that such feature...

A prospective study on the clinical performance of polysiloxane soft liners: one-year results.

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical performance of four denture soft liners up to 12 months. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-three edentulous patients who experienced difficulties when using hard denture bases because of changes in denture-supporting tissues were accepted for the study and randomly received Molloplast B, GC Reline Soft, Silagum Comfort, or Mollosi...

Discovering Typical Motifs of a Raga from One-Liners of Songs in Carnatic Music

Typical motifs of a rāga can be found in the various songs that are composed in the same rāga by different composers. The compositions in Carnatic music have a definite structure, the one commonly seen being pallavi, anupallavi and charanam. The tala is also fixed for every song. Taking lines corresponding to one or more cycles of the pallavi, anupallavi and charanam as one-liners, one-liners a...
