This introduction puts forth a working definition of oceanic kinship as with the ocean and shaped by ocean. It uses notion critical idiom conceptual lens through which we can examine turn’s potential for rethinking forms human nonhuman belonging. Modernity coloniality were spurred sustained mobility. The oceans, waterways material presences, have helped shape modern-day (re-)configurations kins...

The last couple of years, various idioms used in the 15 MLOC C code base of ASML, the world’s biggest lithography machine manufacturer, have been unmasked as crosscutting concerns. However, finding a scalable aspect-based implementation for them did not succeed thusfar, prohibiting sufficient separation of concerns and introducing possibly dangerous programming mistakes. This paper proposes a c...

This paper discusses how a system developed for spatial composition using cases is able to improve design integration and communication. Layouts are built interactively by users rather than automatically generated as has been proposed by others. The design is incrementally parameterized as cases are added and therefore, case adaptation, user interpretation and model activation can occur at any ...

In studies of the cognitive processing of idioms, the role of mental imagery in understanding idioms remains a controversial issue. Cacciari and Glucksberg (1995) conducted an experimental study to investigate whether generating mental images of idioms can facilitate their comprehension. Their results appeared to reject both the possible connection between the literal mental image of an idiom a...

From telecommunications and abstractions of the Internet to interconnections of medical papers to on-line social networks, technology has spawned an explosion of data in the form of large attributed graphs and networks. Visualization often serves as an essential first step in understanding such data, when little is known. Unfortunately, visualizing large graphs presents its own set of problems,...

Idioms and other figuratively used expressions pose considerable problems to natural language processing applications because they are very frequent and often behave idiosyncratically. Consequently, there has been much research on the automatic detection and extraction of idiomatic expressions. Most studies focus on type-based idiom detection, i.e., distinguishing whether a given expression can...

Gaussian Processes (GPs) are widely used tools in statistics, machine learning, robotics, computer vision, and scientific computation. However, despite their popularity, they can be difficult to apply; all but the simplest classification or regression applications require specification and inference over complex covariance functions that do not admit simple analytical posteriors. This paper sho...

It is commonly said that adjectives are a kind of word that people use for emitting their opinion. This is because this lexical category designates the qualities of an entity. However, there are different ways to express an explicit opinion besides the use of adjectives. People also can choose verbs, nouns, adverbs and even groups of words that have complex meaning, like idioms or other multi-w...

I wiIrpresent a system under development, called LP-DETECT. The system detects and analyses Swedish lexicalised phrases (LPs) in order to enhance subsequent parsing. LPs are one of a number of stumbling blocks related to word sequences that must be dealt with when parsing unrestricted text. LPs include semantic idioms, syntactic idioms and morphological idioms and so called valency breaking LPs...

Much surviving 16th-century instrumental music consists of arrangements (‘intabulations’) of vocal music, in tablature for solo lute. Intabulating involved deciding what to omit from a score to fit the instrument, and making it fit under the hand. Notes were usually added as embellishments to the original plain score, using idiomatic patterns, typically at cadences, but often filling simple int...
