In this paper, we propose a system which improves text catchphrases on the web using onomatopoeia and the Japanese Google N-grams. Onomatopoeia is regarded as a fundamental tool in daily communication for people. The proposed system inserts an onomatopoetic word into plain text catchphrases. Being based on a large catchphrase encyclopedia, the proposed system evaluates each catchphrase’s candid...

We propose an interactive technique using onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia are imitative words such as “Zig-zag” and “Tick-tock”. Some Asian languages, especially Japanese and Korean, have many onomatopoeia words, which are frequently used in ordinary conversation, as well as in the written language. Almost all onomatopoeic words represent the texture of materials, the state of things and emotions. W...

With the widespread use of online shopping in recent years, consumer search requests for products have become more diverse. Previous web search methods have used adjectives as input by consumers. However, given that the number of adjectives that can be used to express textures is limited, it is debatable whether adjectives are capable of richly expressing variations of product textures. In Japa...

In this paper, we examine the relation between onomatopoeia and images using a large number of images over the Web. The objective of this paper is to examine if the images corresponding to Japanese onomatopoeia words which express the feeling of visual appearance can be recognized by the state-of-theart visual recognition methods. In our work, first, we collect the images corresponding to onoma...

Human beings get a lot of information from a picture based on what we see and our background knowledge. However, many computer vision researches are heavily dependent on the use of image features and have paid little attention to background knowledge we use in texture processing. The present study explores the degree to which onomatopoeia evoked by visual images is affected by the multimodal ex...

We introduce a simple music notation system based on onomatopoeia. Although many text-based music notation systems have been proposed, most of them are cryptic and much more difficult to understand than standard graphical musical scores. Our music notation system, called the Sutoton notation, is based on onomatopoeia and note names which are easily pronounceable by humans with no extra training...

A system where several transducer or FST are combined in cascade is presented. Each transducer manages a simple step: learned examples, named-entities, basic misspellings, collapsed words, onomatopoeia words, more complex changes, lowercase/uppercase letters.

Ecologist in today’s world should know the terminology related to ecology areas. Thus, modern ecological education be accompanied with development of some nature interpretation skills within language. In many languages, there is a special category words – onomatopoeia (onomatopes), which conditionally reproduce various sounds that exist nature: bam, bom, bang, bul, boom, cap, ding, chik, smack,...

This paper proposes an improved context-aware language supported system for learning Japanese mimetic words and onomatopoeia (MIO) using wireless sensor network “MOTE”. In our previous work, a learner wears sensors so that the system provides the appropriate MIO expressions at his/her place. In this current system called JAMIOLAS (Supporting Japanese Mimetic words and Onomatopoeia Learning with...
