We propose a novel method for interactive editing of motion data based on motion decomposition. Our method employs Independent Component Analysis to decompose motion data into meaningful components that capture different aspects of that motion. The user interactively identifies suitable components and manipulates them based on a proposed set of operations. In particular, the user can transfer c...

Whistleblowers and activists need the ability to communicate without disclosing their identity, as of course do kidnappers and terrorists. Recent advances in the technology of stylometry (the study of authorial style) or “authorship attribution” have made it possible to identify the author with high reliability in a non-confrontational setting. In a confrontational setting, where the author is ...

A discussion on various experiments to utilize stylistic variation among texts for information retrieval purposes. 1. Stylistics Texts vary in many ways. Authors make choices when they write a text: they decide how to organize the material they have planned to introduce; they make choices between synonyms and syntactic constructions; they choose an intended audience for the text. Authors will m...

Classification and abstraction of narrative content is a problem that spans several domains and disciplines ranging from Film Studies and Narratology to Adaptive Hypermedia and Computational Preference Modeling. Applications for automatic recognition and classification of narrative content range from commercial recommendation systems to interactive digital storytelling (IDS) systems. The notion...

Quotations are kernels not just of wisdom but also of beautiful and striking language. While recent studies have characterized the stylistic features of quotations, we characterize the order of stylistic information within quotations. Analyzing a corpus of two-sentence quotations collected from the social network Tumblr, we explore the ways that both low-level features and high-level features t...

We report results of stylistic differences in blogging for gender andagegroupvariation.Theresultsarebasedontwomutually independent features. The first feature is the use of slang words which is a new concept proposed by us for Stylistic study of bloggers. For the second feature, we have analyzed the variation in average length of sentences across various age groups and gender. These features ar...

In this paper we propose a new distance function (rank distance) designed to reflect stylistic similarity between texts. To assess the ability of this distance measure to capture stylistic similarity between texts, we tested it in two different machine learning settings: clustering and binary classification.

Texts vary not only by topic, but by style; indeed, often the variation between texts ‘about the same thing’ can be just as noticeable as the variation between texts ‘about different things’. Some facets of this variation are quite easy to detect, and quite predictable when applied to categorization of texts by genre, functional style, or tentatively quality. Making use of such variation in an ...
