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
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
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
Détection d'images générées par ordinateur basée sur l'apprentissage profond
No full textAvec les progrès des outils logiciels d'édition et de génération d'images, il est devenu plus facile de falsifier le contenu des images ou de créer de nouvelles images, même pour les novices. Ces images générées, telles que l'image de rendu photoréaliste et l'image colorisée, ont un réalisme visuel de haute qualité et peuvent potentiellement menacer de nombreuses applications importantes. Par exemple, les services judiciaires doivent vérifier que les images ne sont pas produites par la technologie de rendu infographique, les images colorisées peuvent amener les systèmes de reconnaissance / surveillance à produire des décisions incorrectes, etc. Par conséquent, la détection d'images générées par ordinateur a attiré une large attention dans la communauté de recherche en sécurité de multimédia. Dans cette thèse, nous étudions l'identification de différents types d'images générées par ordinateur, y compris l'image de rendu et l'image coloriée. Nous nous intéressons à identifier si une image est acquise par une caméra ou générée par un programme informatique. L'objectif principal est de concevoir un détecteur efficace, qui a une précision de classification élevée et une bonne capacité de généralisation. Nous considérons la construction de jeux de données, l'architecture du réseau de neurones profond, la méthode d'entraînement, la visualisation et la compréhension, pour les problèmes d'investigation légale des images considérés. Nos principales contributions sont : (1) une méthode de détection d'image colorisée basée sur l'insertion d'échantillons négatifs, (2) une méthode d'amélioration de la généralisation pour la détection d'image colorisée, (3) une méthode d'identification d'image naturelle et d'image de rendu basée sur le réseau neuronal convolutif, et (4) une méthode d'identification d'image de rendu basée sur l'amélioration de la diversité des caractéristiques et des échantillons contradictoires.With the advances of image editing and generation software tools, it has become easier to tamper with the content of images or create new images, even for novices. These generated images, such as computer graphics (CG) image and colorized image (CI), have high-quality visual realism, and potentially throw huge threats to many important scenarios. For instance, the judicial departments need to verify that pictures are not produced by computer graphics rendering technology, colorized images can cause recognition/monitoring systems to produce incorrect decisions, and so on. Therefore, the detection of computer-generated images has attracted widespread attention in the multimedia security research community. In this thesis, we study the identification of different computer-generated images including CG image and CI, namely, identifying whether an image is acquired by a camera or generated by a computer program. The main objective is to design an efficient detector, which has high classification accuracy and good generalization capability. Specifically, we consider dataset construction, network architecture, training methodology, visualization and understanding, for the considered forensic problems. The main contributions are: (1) a colorized image detection method based on negative sample insertion, (2) a generalization method for colorized image detection, (3) a method for the identification of natural image (NI) and CG image based on CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), and (4) a CG image identification method based on the enhancement of feature diversity and adversarial samples

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
