Investigating the Temporary and Permanent Influential Variables on Iran Inflation Using TVP-DMA Models

I nflation forecast is one of the tools in targeting inflation by the central bank. The most important problem of previous models to forecast the inflation is that they could not provide a correct prediction over time. However, the central bank policymakers shall seek to create economic stability by ignoring the short-term and temporary changes in price and regarding steady inflation...

Cultural Conceptualizations in Persian Language: Implications for L2 Learning

Intercultural communication is concerned with communication across cultures. Since cultures as well as languages differ from one another in significant ways, speakers conceptualize the world around them in different ways. These cultural conceptualizations form part of the collective cognition of a speech community or cultural group. This paper is an attempt to delineate some cultural schemas in...

On the role of Domain Ontologies in the design of Domain-Specific Visual Modeling Languages

Domain-Specific Visual Modeling Languages should provide notations and abstractions that suitably support problem solving in well-defined application domains. From their user’s perspective, the language’s modeling primitives must be intuitive and expressive enough in capturing all intended aspects of domain conceptualizations. Over the years formal and explicit representations of domain concept...

A Representational Framework for Visual Knowledge

Visual knowledge refers to the set of conceptualizations owned and used by imagistic-domain experts on problem-solving tasks. Because of its visual nature, there is a lack of constructs for representing this kind of knowledge using ontologies. This paper presents hybrid meta-constructs proposed to formalize and represent visual knowledge using ontologies. Beyond that, this paper presents a visu...

Number, texture and crowding.

A recent study shows that selectivity for numerosity emerges as a natural property in deep networks of hierarchical generative models of visual perception. These results, together with recent conceptualizations of crowding and texture, suggest that the 'sense of number' is a fundamental visual property, independent of texture and seemingly related attributes.
