Older adults show a progressive cognitive decline, and although language processing appears to resist advancing age, studies in word retrieval report that elders important difficulties. Previous research reports such failures increase from age 70 years, which suggests during the fourth would exhibit even stronger constraints. At same time, extant evidence only of specific might decline advanced...

Many studies have focused on Arabic sentiment or emotion classification tasks. However, research alternative aspects of affect, such as emotional intensity and strength tasks, has been somewhat limited. In this paper, we propose a method for enriching contextualised language model that incorporates static character word embeddings in tweets. We examine the assumption models using are trained sp...

Transfer and multi-task learning have traditionally focused on either a single source-target pair or very few, similar tasks. Ideally, the linguistic levels of morphology, syntax and semantics would benefit each other by being trained in a single model. We introduce such a joint many-task model together with a strategy for successively growing its depth to solve increasingly complex tasks. All ...

Encoding methods affect the performance of process mining tasks but little work in literature focused on quantifying their impact. In this paper, we compare 10 different encoding from three families (trace replay and alignment, graph embeddings, word embeddings) using measures to evaluate overlaps feature space, accuracy obtained, computational resources (time) consumed with a classification ta...

The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) has two attentional functions: top-down attentional control and stimulus-driven attentional processing. Using the focused version of the reading span test (RST), in which the target word to be remembered is the critical word for comprehending a sentence (focused word) or a non-focused word, we examined the effect of tDCS on resolution of distractor interferen...

Listeners can make use of multiple acoustic cues for each phonological contrast. It is well known that the absence of some cues may be compensated by the presence of other cues. In this paper, we investigate cue trading in the broader context of speech processing by using a computational model of human word processing (cf. Werker & Curtin, 2005). Cue trading has been considered an explanatory m...

Governmental systems and administrative organizations in Iran have been always in change throughout history. A position which was necessary in some centuries and was counted as an important governmental position was “Amirdadi”. The person who held this post was called Amir-e dad or Mirdad. Lexicographers have mentioned several different tasks for Amir-e dad. Some believe they are th...
