PUPILS’ STYLISTIC COMPETENCE FORMATION: LINGUO-DIDACTIC ASPECT

Meta-Representational Competence as an Aspect of Spatial Intelligence

Meta-representational competence (diSessa, 2004) encompasses ability to choose the optimal external representation for a task and to use novel external representations productively. Research on this aspect of spatial intelligence reveals large individual differences in ability to adaptively choose and use external visual-spatial representations for a task. This research suggests that we should ...

Modeling Periodic Aspect of Limb Pattern Formation

Stylistic Motion Decomposition

We propose a novel method for interactive editing of motion data based on motion decomposition. Our method employs Independent Component Analysis to decompose motion data into meaningful components that capture different aspects of that motion. The user interactively identifies suitable components and manipulates them based on a proposed set of operations. In particular, the user can transfer c...

Detecting Stylistic Deception

Whistleblowers and activists need the ability to communicate without disclosing their identity, as of course do kidnappers and terrorists. Recent advances in the technology of stylometry (the study of authorial style) or “authorship attribution” have made it possible to identify the author with high reliability in a non-confrontational setting. In a confrontational setting, where the author is ...

Stylistic Experiments in Informationretrieval

A discussion on various experiments to utilize stylistic variation among texts for information retrieval purposes. 1. Stylistics Texts vary in many ways. Authors make choices when they write a text: they decide how to organize the material they have planned to introduce; they make choices between synonyms and syntactic constructions; they choose an intended audience for the text. Authors will m...
