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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Segmentation and labelling of speech
No full textDuring the last decades, significant research efforts have been aimed at devoloping speech technology products such as speech input and output systems. In order to train and evaluate these systems huge speech databases have been compiled in laboratories all over the world. However, neither the recording protocols nor the annotation conventions used have been standardised, making assessments of speech technology products across laboratories and languages difficult. The aim of this thesis work is to contribute towards a standardisation of segmentation and labelling of multi-lingual speech corpora.
Segmentation is here defined as the process of dividing the speech pressure waveform into directly succeeding discrete parts. These segments are labelled with phoneme symbols. Continuous speech from five different languages; English, Danish, Swedish, Italien, and Norwegian, have been studied with respect to segmentation and labelling.
Due to coarticulation effects, exact segmentation of speech as defined above is theoretically impossible, but the segmentation and labelling provides a link between the speech waveform and the phonological labels which is nevertheless essential for both speech research and for the development of speech technology. Thus, this thesis takes a pragmatic approach to the segmentation and labelling of speech and suggests methods to make the annotation process accurate and reliable enough for practical use.dr.ing
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Norsk språk i eit taleteknologisk perspektiv
Full text linkDenne artikkelen skildrar fyrst korleis talesyntese og automatisk talegjenkjenning er bygd opp, og drøftar deretter kva for verknader slik taleteknologi kan få for norsk språk. Automatisk talegjenkjenning for generell diktering («tale-til-tekst») er den delen av taleteknologien som kan påverke språket mest. Men programvare for generell norsk diktering finst ikkje enno. Ein av årsakene til dette har vore manglande språkteknologisk infrastruktur i form av ein norsk språkbank, som vart etablert fyrst i 2010. Håpet er at me får samla inn og systematisert språkdata frå heile landet slik at norske talegjenkjennarar kan lærast opp til å kunne tolke dei ulike uttalevariantane i norsk

koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
