Through personal individual narrator Jake Barnes other main characters in portrays its alienation, aimlessness, directionless Lost-Generation, as well loss moral traditional values. Therefore, qua...

This paper discusses our approaches to create a digital library on traditional Mongolian script using Unicode. Also we introduce system architecture of a digital library that stores books and materials of historical importance written in traditional Mongolian which contain history of 1,000 years and are important part of Mongolian culture. Specifically, we propose a technique that will allow us...

With adolescents’ frequent use of social media, electronic bullying has emerged as a powerful platform for peer victimization. The present two studies explore how adolescents perceive electronic vs. traditional bullying in emotional impact and strategic responses. In Study 1, 97 adolescents (mean age = 15) viewed hypothetical peer victimization scenarios, in parallel electronic and traditional ...

In this article, we establish a mathematical model for emergence of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) viruses from outbreaks of low pathogenicity avian influenza (LPAI) A viruses (H5N2). The model is based on traditional mathematical epidemiology models and experiment evidences. It contains several submodels which are traditional SEIR models or SIR models. The experiments in [25] provid...

We introduce a model for constructing vector representations of words by composing characters using bidirectional LSTMs. Relative to traditional word representation models that have independent vectors for each word type, our model requires only a single vector per character type and a fixed set of parameters for the compositional model. Despite the compactness of this model and, more important...

Kernels are similarity functions, and play important roles in machine learning. Traditional kernels are built directly from the feature vectors of data instances xi, xj . However, data could be noisy, and there are missing values or corrupted values in feature vectors. In this paper, we propose a new approach to build kernel Collective Kernel, especially from noisy data. We also derive an effic...

There are two ways of considering three-dimensional computer animation (Magnenat Thalmann and Thalmann 1990) and its evolution: the movie approach and the physics approach. The first approach corresponds to an extension of traditional animation methods by the use of the computer. The second approach corresponds to simulation methods based on laws of physics, especially laws of mechanics. The pu...

Much research has been applied to developing interactive characters. However, most existing work is designed for digital characters. In this work, we explore the use of social robots to embody virtual characters. Robotic avatars have great potential over traditional displays for engaging the user, especially children. Primitive movements of the robots can be used to express emotions, illustrate...
