Within a broader context of visual and musical symmetry patterns, we explore biblical parallelism, the poetic symmetry patterns of the Bible. We present six frequently occurring parallel forms – simple, chiastic, elliptical, sequential, unequal length, and repeated words. These six forms are broad enough to include many known examples of biblical parallelism. Our major contribution is a system ...

Though form clearly influences and shapes our content, the most deft formal trickery cannot compensate for a lack of real insight. Before computers can be truly creative with language, we must first imbue them with the ability to formulate meanings that ...

The study of sign languages provides a wide field of applications for computer vision systems, but the analysis of such gestures often leads to complex 3D reconstructions or to ambiguities. In this paper, we describe the architecture of an image analysis system that performs sign language analysis by using a prediction/verification approach. The system integrates a model of the sign language’s ...
