Regulating Dialogue With Gestures---Towards an Empirically Grounded Simulation with Conversational Agents
No full textBergmann K, Rieser H, Kopp S. Regulating Dialogue With Gestures---Towards an Empirically Grounded Simulation with Conversational Agents. In: Chai JY, Moore JD, Passonneau RJ, Traum DR, eds. Proceedings of the SIGdial 2011 Conference. Association for Computational Linguistics; 2011: 88-97.Although not very well investigated, a crucial aspect of gesture use in dialogues is to regulate the organisation of the interaction. People use gestures decisively, for example to indicate that they want someone to take the turn, to 'brush away' what someone else said, or to acknowledge others' contributions. We present first insights from a corpus-based investigation of how gestures are used to regulate dialogue, and we provide first results from an account to capture these phenomena in agent-based communication simulations. By advancing a model for autonomous gesture generation to also cover gesture interpretation, this account enables a full gesture turn exchange cycle of generation, understanding and acceptance/generation in virtual conversational agents

A comparison of intertemporal choices for oneself versus someone else based on Tsallis’ statistics
No full textImpulsivity and inconsistency in intertemporal choice (discounting) have drawn attention in econophysics and neuroeconomics. Although it is well established that most people often show irrational discounting (e.g., hyperbolic discounting), little is known regarding whether the irrationality is mitigated or not, when the choice was performed by someone else instead of subject herself. This point is important for economic policy-making. In order to compare consistency and impulsivity in choices for oneself versus someone else, we experimentally estimated the consistency parameter q in Tsallis’ statistics-based discount function for oneself and someone else, by assessing the points of subjective equality (indifference points) at 7 delays (1 week to 25 years) in humans. We observed that (i) most people are more inconsistent when the outcomes of intertemporal choice are only relevant to someone else (q ¼ 8.89) than when relevant to oneself (q ¼ 2.63), and (ii) impulsivity, distinguished from inconsistency by utilizing the Tsallis statistics-based q-exponential discount function, is also larger in the choice for someone else than for oneself. Our results indicate that (i) leaving decision-making processes with some others may neither reduce impulsivity nor correct inconsistency and (ii) when q-exponential discounting is utilized, the definition range of q-parameter should be extended to qo0, and smaller (qo1) and larger (q41) values indicate more inconsistent discounting. Together, the usefulness of the q-exponential discounting for analyzing the dynamic consistency of economic policy was demonstrated in the present study
Fräulein Else : Textanalyse aus psychologischer und epochentypischer Perspektive
No full textThis literary work has been chosen to focus on a novel called Fräulein Else and is written by Arthur Schnitzler. The author has chosen to focus the work on comparing the work with theera of the time the book was written and analyze the plot and character Else from apsychoanalytic perspective.

By collecting and reading student literature that touches on factsabout literature of the era: the millennium literature and literature on psychoanalysis, theauthor has been able to begin the analysis of the book, Fräulein Else and then be able toanswer her questions. The sources for the work come mainly from student literature but alsofrom copywriters who intend to spread knowledge. This study results in a deep characteristicanalysis of the main character as well as a comparison of the book and epoch-makingfeatures

Malik, Letters of Else Lasker-Schüler to Franz Marc
No full textElse LaskerSchüler (1869-1945), among the significant expressionist woman writers, did not only suffer from being both a woman and author, but also had to struggle under difficulties of being a hebrew. In this paper, especially the letter novel titled "Der Malik : Eine Kaisergeschichte" has been handled in the light of Homi K. Bhabha's 'Third Space Theory'. In regard to this, the "Third Space", which is defined by postcolonial theoretician Homi K. Bhabha as an extra place where minorities and outcast groups can express themselves in his work "The Location of Culture", is adapted to the literary "Orient" and defined once again in Else Lasker-Schüler's novel as it was never approached and interpreted before. In this sense, this supports the relevance to analyze her mentioned works in terms of the "Third Space Theory". Else Lasker-Schüler constructed a new world for herself through literature; her works were her life and her life was her works.Ekspresyonizm döneminin önemli kadın yazarlarından olan Else Lasker-Schüler (1869-1945) yaşamı boyunca hem kadın hem de yazar olmanın sıkıntılarını çekmekle kalmamış, aynı zamanda Yahudi olmanın zorluklarıyla da savaşmak zorunda kalmıştır. Bu makalede özellikle yazarın "Der Malik. Eine Kaisergeschichte" adlı mektup romanı Homi K. Bhabha’ nın tanımladığı "Üçüncü Mekan" kavramının ışığında incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu kavramdan yola çıkarak Postkolonial teorisyen Homi K. Bhabha’nın "The location of culture" (Die Verortung der Kultur) (2000) adlı kitabında azınlıkların ve dışlanmış grupların kendilerini ifade edebilecekleri bir ara mekan olarak tanımladığı "3. Mekan" (Third Space), Else Lasker-Schüler'in eserindeki edebi "Doğu" ya uyarlanmış ve önceden yaklaşılmamış ve yorumlanmamış şekilde yeniden tanımlanmıştır. Bu anlamda "Üçüncü Mekan" kavramının sözü edilen eserin analizi için uygunluğunu daha da kuvvetlendirmiştir. Else Lasker-Schüler kendine edebiyat ile yeni dünya inşa etmiştir, eserleri onun yaşamı, yaşamı ise yazdıklarından oluşmaktadır
