Form and style matter in journalism. To a large extent a newspaper’s identity is determined by its appearance and its tone. Readers want to feel comfortable with a paper’s design, its departmentalization and its use of illustrations, colour and headlines. The style of writing and the form of stories should please them. ‘Reading someone else’s newspaper is like sleeping with someone else’s wife’...

Since an XML document has tree structure, XML transformations are ordinarily defined as recursive functions over the tree. Their direct implementation often causes inefficient memory usage because the input XML tree needs to be completely stored in memory. In contrast, XML stream processing can minimize the memory usage and execution time since it begins to output the transformation result befo...

User-Web interactions have emerged as an important area of research in the field of information science. In this study, we investigate the effects of users’ cognitive styles on their Web navigational styles and information processing strategies. We report results from the analyses of 594 minutes recorded Web search sessions of 18 participants engaged in 54 scenariobased search tasks. We use que...

OBJECTIVE A novel hypothesis of object recognition asserts that multiple regions are engaged in processing an object type, and that cerebral regions participate in processing multiple types of objects. In particular, for high-level expert processing, it proposes shared rather than dedicated resources for word and face perception, and predicts that prosopagnosic subjects would have minor deficit...

In this work, we propose “global style tokens” (GSTs), a bank of embeddings that are jointly trained within Tacotron, a state-of-the-art end-toend speech synthesis system. The embeddings are trained with no explicit labels, yet learn to model a large range of acoustic expressiveness. GSTs lead to a rich set of significant results. The soft interpretable “labels” they generate can be used to con...
