AI for defence: readiness, resilience and mental health
No full textArtificial Intelligence (AI) is a cross-cutting technology that is making a major impact on behavioural analysis in both the defence and mental health domains. Employing AI well could boost readiness and resilience of military personnel. This article explores how AI is being used today in research and practice for Mental Health in the Defence domain. We identify key challenges that exist and signpost the important trends and directions of travel that could build bridges between these domains for the ultimate benefit of both

La stratégie médiatique des feuilles volantes de Sebastian Brant
No full textInternational audienceDer misoneistische Autor des Narrenschiffes, der auf überholten Herrschaftsmodellen beharrt und sich besonders kritisch zu der frühneuzeitlichen « messen kunst » und « drucker gunst » äußert, leistet dennoch einen eigenen Beitrag zu diesenbeiden medialen Neuerungen. Die Untersuchung von Brants publizistischem Schaffen ermöglicht es, das gespaltene Verhältnis des elsässischen Humanisten zur Moderne zu erhellen.Es gelingt ihm etwa, die Novität des Mediums Einblattdruck voll auszunutzen, indem er dessen Potenz nicht nur für seine Zwecke einsetzt, sondern auch durch eine Gattungserweiterung und durch die leserfreundliche und publikumswirksameGestaltung des Layouts enorm verstärkt. Brant gab den ausschlaggebenden Impuls zur Entstehung der Wunderblätter und des satirischen Flugblatts.Anhand von vier exemplarischen Drucken, dem Meteor-Flugblatt von Ensisheim, den Wundergeburten von Worms und Straßburg und der politisch-satirischen Tierallegorie von der Fuchshatz wird gezeigt, wie der städtische Funktionsträgerdurch die Vereinnahmung des neuen Mediums dessen unkontrollierter Verbreitung entgegen zu arbeiten versucht und dabei eigene rhetorische und metaphorische Muster entwickelt.The neophobic author of the Ship of Fools, who adheres to outdated power structures and who is particularly critical of the early modern messen kunst and drucker gunst, nevertheless contributes to these two media innovations. The study of Brant’s media work makes it possible to reveal the ambivalent relationship of the Alsatian humanist to modernity.He succeeded, for example, in using the novelty of the medium of single-sheet prints not only to enhancing its potency for his own purposes, but also enormously reinforcing it by extending the genre and by designing the layout in a reader-friendlyand in an audience-effective manner. Brant gave the decisive impulse for the creation of the Wunderblätter and the satirical flyers.On the basis of four exemplary broadsheets, the meteorite of Ensisheim, the monstrous births of Worms and Strasbourg and the political-satirical animal allegory from the Fuchshatz, it will be shown how the urban functionary tries to prevent the uncontrolled dissemination of the new medium by appropriating its significance and thereby develops his own rhetorical and metaphorical patterns
Ich-Erzählen im Medium des Frühdrucks. Narrative und diskursive Strukturen in gedruckten deutschsprachigen Reimerzählungen um 1500 (Hans Folz, Sebastian Brant, Hans Sachs)
No full textMy paper presents three German poems from the late 15th/early 16th century that formally stand in the tradition of couple rhymed allegorical first-person narratives and thematically deal with the political conditions of their time. The three different authors represent two variants of a certain type of author belonging to the artisan class (Hans Folz, Hans Sachs in Nuremberg) or to the academically educated, bilingual (Latin/German) upper class (Sebastian Brant in Strasbourg) of the urban bourgeois culture. In both cases, they opened up early to the new medium of book printing. Consequently, the para-texts with which all three texts produced directly for print are equipped take on important functions within the new printing medium and the new practise of distance communication that develops from it, aiming above all at the staging of the respective authorship. The three selected case studies highlight the different literary and communicative strategies developed by each author under these auspices. What all three texts have in common, however, is a more or less sophisticated play with the two different discourse levels of the (fictional) narrator ego and the (real) author ego. Such a game is at the same time anchored in essential aspects within the socio-cultural environment of the authors and the respective specific literary culture. Thus, in the case of Hans Folz, as in the case of his successor Hans Sachs, the effort to adapt the handed-down medieval traditions and rhetoric models to the new conditions of vernacular communication visibly predominates. Differently, the concept of authorship claimed by Sebastian Brant is characterised by the effort to harmonise the function of the poet as orator and prophet, derived from the humanist tradition, with the instructional tasks fundamental to vernacular poetry.My paper presents three German poems from the late 15th/early 16th century that formally stand in the tradition of couple rhymed allegorical first-person narratives and thematically deal with the political conditions of their time.

Sickness and health: Homophily in online health forums
No full textThis work explores the link between health and social relations by
creating an automated metric of similarity of positive or negative
affect (sentiment) between peers in online health forums. We
analyze textual communication between peers and demonstrate
that those who communicate often have similar average sentiment
scores. Sentiment is the author’s immediate affective state, their
positive or negative orientation. We hypothesize that average
sentiment over time indicates overall happiness or sadness as
similar analysis has been utilized to identify depression and
depression at risk college students. These results follow the
analysis of Framingham study data demonstrating that happy
people tend to associate with one another and that happiness
spreads within social networks.Submitted by Heekyung Choi ([email protected]) on 2010-02-22T15:58:16Z

Exploring machine learning techniques using patient interactions in online health forums to classify drug safety
No full textThis dissertation explores the use of personal health messages collected from online message forums to predict drug safety using natural language processing and machine learning techniques. Drug safety is defined as any drug with an active safety alert from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is believed that this is the first exploration of patient derived data of this type for pharmacovigilance – the study of drugs once released to market for safety. It is believed that this is the first application of machine learning and natural language processing techniques to be used for pharmicovigilance on patient derived data.
We present results demonstrating the identification of drugs withdrawn from market as well as predictions of other potential safety alert drugs. One example includes Meridia, a weight loss drug linked with death for those with cardiovascular disease. The drug is identified based on data presented two years before FDA and European Union (EU) advisory panels were formed and the subsequent withdrawal of the drug from market within the EU and United States.Item withdrawn by Mark Zulauf ([email protected]) on 2011-11-08T14:23:51Z
