Around 75% of civilians have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lives, and this number is considerably higher in many parts of the world, as well as in military veterans and first responders. Of those exposed to trauma, 15-25% will develop Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).  PTSD extracts enormous economic, health, and quality of life cost. Thus, it is critical to underst...

The hidden topic model of Chinese text, which possesses complicated semantics, is urgently needed, since China has occupied an increasingly significant role during the booming development of globalization over recent years. This paper details and elaborates the basic process of extracting latent Chinese topics by demonstrating a Chinese topic extraction schema based on Latent Dirichlet Allocati...

This paper presents a novel, real-time, minimal-latency technique for dissolve detection which handles the widely varying camera techniques, expertise, and overall video quality seen in amateur, semi-professional, and professional video footage. We achieve 88% recall and 93% precision for dissolve detection. In contrast, on the same data set, at a similar recall rate (87%), DCD has more than 3 ...

We present a spatial audio display technique that overcomes the presentation rate bottleneck of traditional monaural audio displays. Our compact speech display works by encoding message semantics into the acoustic spatialisation. In user testing, this display facilitated better recall of events than a conventional small screen visual display. Moreover, results showed that this mapping aided in ...

In three experiments, we showed that animate entities are remembered better than inanimate entities. Experiment 1 revealed better recall for words denoting animate than inanimate items. Experiment 2 replicated this finding with the use of pictures. In Experiment 3, we found better recognition for animate than for inanimate words. Importantly, we also found a higher recall rate of “remember” tha...

to investigate the effects of different glossing conventions on vocabulary recognition and recall, 158 participants were given a pre-test to make sure that they did not have any prior knowledge of the target words. reading passages with four different glossing conventions (interlinear, marginal, pre-text, and post-text) were given to eight groups. four groups received interlingual glosses and f...
