Object oriented analysis offers effective tools to represent the knowledge in a scene. Knowledge-based interpretation arises as an effective way to interpret remote sensing imagery. In this approach, human’s expertise is organized in a knowledge base to be used as input of automated interpretation processes, thus enhancing performance and accuracy, and reducing at the same time the subjectivity...

This paper presents an approach for recommending news articles on a large news portal. Focus is given to interpretability of the developed models, analysis of their performance, and deriving understanding of short and long-term user behavior on a news portal.

This paper examines the distinct characteristics of liaison interpreting and explored the contribution of liaison interpreting to the theoretical development of translation studies. The historical development and theoretical themes of translation studies suggest that the ideology and codes of conduct of consecutive interpreting are heavily influenced by theories of translation and simultaneous ...

Although ethnographic methods are still regarded, to an extent, as new aspects of HCI research practice, they have been part of HCI research almost since its inception, and certainly since the early 1980s, about the same time as the CHI conference was founded. What, then, accounts for this sense of novelty and the mystery that goes along with it? One reason is that ethnographic methods have gen...

Automatic methods of calculating canvas thread counts from x-rays of paintings reveal a systematic pattern for warp and weft thread densities that persists along the respective thread directions. These patterns can be used to find paintings that have matching weave patterns, with warp-thread pattern matches more prevalent than weft-thread matches when trying to associate paintings to the same c...

A new world volume theory with a free scalar field was proposed for Multiple M2 branes recently. By giving the free scalar a large VEV, we can obtain a gauge theory of multiple D2 branes with a coupling constant proportional to the VEV. It is pointed out by Banerjee and Sen that we can get D2 branes by choosing a compactification in the θ direction, with radial position having the same value of...

In recent work, tableau-based model generation calculi have been used as computational models of the reasoning processes involved in utterance interpretation. In this linguistic application of an inference technique that was originally developed for automated theorem proving, natural language understanding is treated as a process of generating Herbrand models for the logical form of an utteranc...

The∼500 meter long near-Earth asteroid (NEA) Itokawa, recently visited by the Hayabusa spacecraft [see 1], has a cratering record that is significantly under-saturated for craters below ∼100 m in diameter, with meter-scale craters almost nonexistent. The cratering record in this size range is similar to that on Eros, where the depletion of small craters was shown to be consistent with erasure b...

This article reports on a study conducted in October 2019 by the interpreters research portfolio of Stellenbosch University’s interpreting service. The tested student perceptions authentic interpreted lectures amongst two subsets users: those listening to English, mostly out necessity, and who listen Afrikaans, largely choice.[1] project was undertaken gain better understanding value that users...

One of the major aims of the AVIDICUS project was to assess the viability and reliability of video-mediated interpreting in criminal proceedings from an interpreting perspective. There are already many instances of video-mediated interpreting in criminal proceedings (and other legal proceedings), and given the new European Directive on the rights to interpretation and translation in criminal pr...
