Modeling Action Verb Semantics Using Motion Tracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article, we consider how semantics of action verbs can be grounded on motion tracking data. We present the basic principles and requirements for grounding of verbs through case studies related to human movement. The data includes high-dimensional movement patterns and linguistic expressions that people have used to name these movements. We discuss open issues and possibilities related to symbol grounding. As a conclusion, we find the grounding to be useful when reasoning about the meaning of words and relationships between them within one language and potentially also between languages.

VISCOUS NUTATION DAMPER, MODELING AND ANALYSIS
In some aerospace vehicles, the tracking sensors which act in a tracking loop as stabilizer are mounted on a two degree of freedom gyro. The gyro must align its rotor axis with the line of sight in order to remove tracking errors. The tracking precision and sensitivity are functions of the gyros performance. One of the main factors in reducing the precision and producing instabilities is nutati...
متن کاملMultiple Target Tracking With a 2-D Radar Using the JPDAF Algorithm and Combined Motion Model
Multiple target tracking (MTT) is taken into account as one of the most important topics in tracking targets with radars. In this paper, the MTT problem is used for estimating the position of multiple targets when a 2-D radar is employed to gather measurements. To do so, the Joint Probabilistic Data Association Filter (JPDAF) approach is applied to tracking the position of multiple targets. To ...

The first verb (V1) of the verb compound, na2 ‘take’, encodes the general action of removing, the second verb (V2), xia4 ‘descend’, encodes the Path of motion, and the third verb (V3), lai2 ‘come’, indicates Deictic information (i.e. towards the Agent in [1]). Verb compounds like na2-xia4-lai2 are known as directional verb compounds, which typically describe motion events and involve a verb ind...
متن کاملDeverbal Semantics and the Montagovian Generative Lexicon $$\Lambda \!\mathsf {Ty}_n$$ Λ Ty n
We propose a lexical account of action nominals, in particular of deverbal nom-inalisations, whose meaning is related to the event expressed by their base verb. The literature about nominalisations often assumes that the semantics of the base verb completely defines the structure of action nominals. We argue that the information in the base verb is not sufficient to completely determine the sem...

Objective: Brain trauma evidences suggest that the two grammatical categories of noun and verb are processed in different regions of the brain due to differences in the complexity of grammatical and semantic information processing. Studies have shown that the verbs belonging to different semantic categories lead to neural activity in different areas of the brain, and action verb processing is r...
