In mobile robotics, simultaneous localization and mapping is a complex problem. However, by using smart constraints, the problem can be reduced considerably. Instead of constraining the issue to a specific robotic system or its movement behavior, we show how semantic environment perception and modeling allows another point of view and therefore a convenient solution for the problem. We present ...

translation is an active process in which a meaning is transferred from a source to a target language. during this process, meaning must have accordance with two main semantic sub-systems: signification and evaluation. signification is related to a signified unit of a linguistic sign and its encompassing properties known as seme. however, evaluation includes a range of different actualizations ...

this study investigated the effect of using visual aids, semantic elaboration, and visual aids plus semantic elaboration on the iranian efl learners' vocabulary learning. to conduct the study, the researchers assigned 49 elementary learners to three homogeneous groups according to their proficiency level. then, a pre-test of paribakht and wesche's vocabulary knowledge scale was given ...

the immense extent and richness of arabic lexical resources which bring about a great semantic extension, emerge in different ways, one of which is sobriquet. arabs used “alam” (proper noun) in three different forms, namely sobriquet, nickname and noun. in certain cases and due to rhetoric and semantic reasons, arabs used sobriquet instead of noun or nickname. gradually, this application became...

Objective Long-term visual memory representations, measured by recognition performance, degrade as a function of semantic interference, and their strength is related to eye-movement responses. Even though clinical research has examined interference mechanisms in pathological cognitive aging explored the diagnostic potential eye-movements this context, little known about interaction long-term me...

BioAmbients is a powerful model for representing various aspects of living cells. The model provides a rich set of operations for the movement and interaction of molecules. The richness of the language motivates the study of dialects of the full model and the comparison with other computational models. In this paper we investigate the limit between decidability and undecidability of two decisio...

The shi...de construction in Mandarin Chinese is a cover term for at least four distinct constructions. We focus on the remarkable internal properties of the shi...de pattern proper, where both shi and de are present. We concur with a long tradition of scholarship identifying shi...de as a cleft construction, but we show it to have very different properties from itor pseudo-clefts in languages ...

Experts have remarkable capability of locating, identifying and categorizing objects in their domain-specific images. Eliciting experts’ visual strategies will benefit image understanding by transferring human domain knowledge into image-based computational procedures. In this paper, an experiment conducted to collect both eye movement and verbal description data from three groups of subjects w...

We present the implementation of computational Laban Movement Analysis for human-machine interaction using Bayesian reasoning. The research field of computational Human Movement Analysis is lacking a general underlying modeling language, i.e., how to map the features into symbols. With such a semantic descriptor, the recognition problem can be posed as a problem to recognize a sequence of symbo...

Visual perception is adapted toward a better understanding of our own movements than those of non-conspecifics. The present study determined whether time perception is affected by pictures of different species by considering the evolutionary scale. Static (“S”) and implied movement (“M”) images of a dog, cheetah, chimpanzee, and man were presented to undergraduate students. S and M images of th...
