Consequently the role of literature, and especially poetry is re-examined from ecocentric perspective, that is, poetry is considered as promoting ecological consciousness. Some of the critics eve argue that this consciousness can be converted into activ...

In her paper, "Taiwan, China, and Yang Mu's Alternative to National Narratives," Lisa L.M.

During this decade, identity discourse has developed from othering Westernism to preserve Chinese cultural-national integrity to espousing a native ...

This paper is about the automatic generation of creative text, more precisely the automatic generation of poetry. It starts by presenting two possible categorisations for systems that aim generating poetry and then makes a brief overview on the existing attempts to this subject based on what can be found in the literature.

For α, β, n ordinals α → (β, n) means that any graph on the ordinal α either contains an independent set of order-type β or a complete subgraph of order-type n. We only consider cases where n is a natural number, hence the naming. The partition relation α → (β, n) for α, β finite multiples of κ where κ = ω or κ is weakly compact is characterized by a finitary problem as is the same for α, β fin...

This chapter presents an approach to enable non-visualization experts to craft advanced visualizations through the use of natural language as the primary interface. The main challenge in this research is in determining how to translate imprecise verbal queries into effective visualizations. To demonstrate the viability of the concept, we developed and evaluated a prototype, Articulate, which al...
