We address the problem of end-to-end visual storytelling. Given a photo album, our model first selects the most representative (summary) photos, and then composes a natural language story for the album. For this task, we make use of the Visual Storytelling dataset and a model composed of three hierarchically-attentive Recurrent Neural Nets (RNNs) to: encode the album photos, select representati...

This paper examines the interrelationship between music blog buzz and album sales, examining both time precedence and the contemporaneous relationship between the two. Using the Granger Causality methodology to examine time precedence, we find evidence of bi-directional causality for the full sample of music albums we are examining as well as for both independently released and major-label rele...

Ethanolic and aqueous extracts from five plant species used in Turkish traditional medicine were evaluated for in vivo hypercholesterolaemic and antioxidant activities: Agrostemma githago L., Potentilla reptans L., Thymbra spicata var. spicata L., Urtica dioica L. and Viscum album var. album L. We assayed the effects of the administration of plant extracts on serum total cholesterol, triglyceri...

Conceptual modelling has changed over years. Database applications form an integral part of most computational infrastructures. Applications are developed, changed and integrated by specialists in conceptual modelling, by computer engineers, or by people who do not have sufficient related background knowledge. Conceptual databases models are everywhere in applications and are likely to interfer...

Purpose The explosive growth in computer power over the past several decades offers new tools and opportunities for economists. Volume 1 of the Handbook of Computational Economics (Amman et al. 1996) surveyed the growing literature on computational methods for solving standard economic models such as Arrow-Debreu-McKenzie general equilibrium models and rational expectations models. This second ...

Change is a fundamental but sometimes neglected aspect of information and database systems. The management of evolution and change and the ability for database, information and knowledge-based systems to deal with change is an essential component in developing and maintaining truly useful systems. Many approaches to handling evolution and change have been proposed in various areas of data manag...
