چکیده
In this research project, I focus on transnationalism through trans-Pacific migratory processes and its implications on the evolution of identity in Hong Kong families in Vancouver, Canada. Under the system of reference of social and cultural geography, three main parts are discussed: a conceptual one presenting surrounding aspects of transnationalism and its underlying concepts of identity, perception and sociocultural capital. The second part is empirical with a qualitative survey based on a case study, represented by the second generation of Hong Kong migrants of the 1980s-1990s. The survey demonstrates the real implications of transnationalism on these actual Hong Kong students living in Vancouver. Strategies of post-transnationalism such as cultural logics, social networks, accumulative capital and embeddedness, give a frame to the case study. I then analyze how many of these children had or still have ‘astronaut’ parents and how such ‘satellite’ kids studying at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver) conceive of this phenomenon of transnationalism, how it impacts their identity and how they manage to deal with cultural differences internally and externally to their family. Furthermore, I investigate how the children cope with their double identity as a hybrid one embedded with their Asian parental mentality and with the dimensions of cosmopolitanism. In the final part of this research, further questions are raised as to how transnationalism may influence these generations at a broader level and how national identities are located in individuals in light of a growing tendency towards universalism.

Studying a Personality Coreference Network in a News Stories Photo Collection
We build and analyze a coreference network based on entities from photo descriptions, where nodes represent personalities and edges connect people mentioned in the same photo description. We identify and characterize the communities in this network and propose taking advantage of the context provided by community detection methodologies to improve text illustration and general search.

متن کاملThe Perceived Similarity of Photos - A Test-Collection Based Evaluation Framework for the Content-Based Image Retrieval Algorithms
Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) algorithms have been seen as a promising access method for digital photo collections, sooner or later replacing the traditional text-based methods. Unfortunately, we have very little evidence of the usefulness of these algorithms in real user needs and contexts. One problem is that appropriately designed test collections are not available even for the basic ...

A Multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Type Stochastic Volatility Model
Using positive semidefinite processes of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type a multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) type stochastic volatility model is introduced. We derive many important statistical and probabilistic properties, e.g. the complete second order structure and a state-space representation. Noteworthy, many of our results are shown to be valid for the more general class of multivariate stocha...
