Textual contents associated to resources are considered as sources of candidate tags to improve the performance of tag recommenders in social tagging systems. In this paper, we propose a twolevel learning hierarchy of a concept based keyword extraction method to filter the candidate tags and rank them based on their occurrences in concepts existing in the given resources. Incorporating user-cre...

This thesis introduces the applied notion of textual entailment as a generic empirical task that captures major semantic inferences across many applications. Textual entailment addresses semantic inference as a direct mapping between language expressions and abstracts the common semantic inferences as needed for text based Natural Language Processing applications. We define the task and describ...

The paper presents an agent based surveillance system for use in monitoring scenes involving both pedestrians and vehicles. The surveillance system supplies textual descriptions for the dynamic activity occurring in the 3D world. These are derived by means of dynamic and probabilistic inference based on geometric information provided by a vision system that tracks vehicles and pedestrians. The ...

the present study investigated comparatively the impact of two types of input enhancement (i.e. textual vs. compound enhancement) on developing grammar ability in iranian efl setting. sixty-five female secondary high school students were selected as a homogenous sample out of about a 100-member population based on nelson language proficiency test. then, their grammar ability was measured based ...

This paper investigates how variance in multimedia video clip type affects quality of perception (QoP) for users with and without hearing loss. QoP encompasses not only a user's satisfaction with the quality of a multimedia presentation (subjective), but also his or her ability to analyse, synthesise and assimilate its’ informational content (objective). Results show that clip type has a signif...

GIMPLE is the machine-independent intermediate representation used in modern GCC releases (post version 4.0). While the GIMPLE API for code generation and manipulation has matured over time, the corresponding textual representation is yet to be in a stable form. This issue hampers many serious efforts for code generation from and to GIMPLE. Good candidates for the textual representation seem to...

The present study examined the effect of multimedia glosses on foreign language listening comprehension. To this end, 94 male students studying at Rasa English Institute in Tehran were selected for the treatment. The participants consisted of three groups, and each group was randomly assigned to one of the following treatment conditions: textual, pictorial, and textual-pictorial glossing....

Fine-grained image classification is to recognize hundreds of subcategories belonging to the same basic-level category, which is a highly challenging task due to the quite subtle visual distinctions among similar subcategories. Most existing methods generally learn part detectors to discover discriminative regions for better classification accuracy. However, not all localized parts are benefici...

Text linguistics enables translators to “climb up,” to work more effectively from the level of text with “textual judicial authority.” It should enable them to “look down” as well at lower units as functional units. Technically, discussions of translation often treat localized passages rather than full texts. The notion of Unit of Translation (UT), once defined, is thus useful for bridging the ...
