Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Telecommunications reform within Russia's accession to the World Trade Organization
Full text linkIn World Trade Organization (WTO) accession negotiations, telecommunications is always a sector that receives close scrutiny by the WTO Working Party, and the extent of market access and nondiscriminatory treatment of multinational telecommunications companies in Russia has been a significant issue in Russia’s accession negotiations. The authors use a computable general equilibrium model of the Russian economy to assess the role of telecommunications in the discussions regarding Russian accession to the WTO. The results show that reduction of barriers to foreign direct investment in telecommunications will bring substantial gains to the Russian economy, including an increase in the productivity of Russian labor and capital. Despite the fact that multinationals use Russian labor less intensively than Russian firms, demand for Russian labor employed in telecommunications should increase, following reductions in barriers to foreign direct investment that are included in the context of WTO accession. This is because the overall demand for telecommunication services should increase due to the growth effects of the liberalization of barriers against foreign direct investment generally and the reduction in tariffs. Russian capital owners in telecommunications will likely be sought as joint venture partners and can restructure and obtain gains as partners with foreign firms. Wholly owned Russian firms are likely to experience losses.International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,ICT Policy and Strategies,Environmental Economics&Policies,Decentralization,Economic Theory&Research,Economic Theory&Research,ICT Policy and Strategies,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Public Sector Economics&Finance
Audio-Visual Speech Inpainting with Deep Learning
Full text linkIn this paper, we present a deep-learning-based framework for audio-visual
speech inpainting, i.e., the task of restoring the missing parts of an acoustic
speech signal from reliable audio context and uncorrupted visual information.
Recent work focuses solely on audio-only methods and generally aims at
inpainting music signals, which show highly different structure than speech.
Instead, we inpaint speech signals with gaps ranging from 100 ms to 1600 ms to
investigate the contribution that vision can provide for gaps of different
duration. We also experiment with a multi-task learning approach where a phone
recognition task is learned together with speech inpainting. Results show that
the performance of audio-only speech inpainting approaches degrades rapidly
when gaps get large, while the proposed audio-visual approach is able to
plausibly restore missing information. In addition, we show that multi-task
learning is effective, although the largest contribution to performance comes
from vision
