This paper presents experiments where natural and spontaneous cognitive processes, in particular those who lead to the attribution of personality traits to unacquainted people, are used as a natural form of feature extraction. In particular, personality assessments provided by human judges are used as features to distinguish between professional and non-professional speakers. The same task is p...

Hostile attributions were examined in 150 incarcerated males to test the possibility that there are two pathways associated with hostile attributions: one related to psychopathy as assessed using the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised [PCL-R; Hare, 1991] and one related to depressogenic attributional style, as assessed using the Inferential Styles Questionnaire [ISQ; Rose et al., 1994]. Ten hypothet...

In this work we are solving authorship attribution and author profiling tasks (by focusing on the age and gender dimensions) for the Lithuanian language. This paper reports the first results on literary texts, which we compared to the results, previously obtained with different functional styles and language types (i.e., parliamentary transcripts and forum posts). Using the Naïve Bayes Multinom...

The analysis of large datasets of music audio and other representations entails the need for techniques that support musicologists and other users in interpreting extracted data. We explore and develop visualisation techniques of chord sequence patterns mined from a corpus of over one million tracks. The visualisations use different representations of root movements and chord qualities with geo...

E-mail communication is often abused for conducting social engineering attacks including spamming, phishing, identity theft and for distributing malware. This is largely attributed to the problem of anonymity inherent in the standard electronic mail protocol. In the literature, authorship attribution is studied as a text categorization problem where the writing styles of individuals are modeled...

Engaging in interactions with peers is important for student learning. Many studies have quantified patterns of in-person physics courses using social network analysis, finding different structures between instructional contexts (lecture and laboratory) styles (active traditional). Such also find inconsistent results as to whether how student-level variables (e.g., grades demographics) relate t...
