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
The NESPOLE! Multimodal Speech-to-Speech Translation System: User Based System Improvements
No full textThis work discusses the results of two user studies aiming to evaluate the NESPOLE! speech-to-speech translation system, which provides for multilingual and multimodal communication in the tourism and in the medical domain, allowing users to interact through the Internet by sharing maps, web-pages and pen-based gestures. The purpose is to investigate the overall effectiveness of the combination of multimodality and multilinguality in respect to a speech-only system. Specifically, we will examine the improvement in usability offered by the multimodal system, which is gauged by evaluating the interaction between novice users and the system at several stages of development. Additionally, we will discuss how data collection contributed to system improvemen
NESPOLE!'s Medical Dialogue Corpus
No full textThe NESPOLE! medical database is part of the NESPOLE! multilingual VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol networks) corpora collected for the second showcase of the NESPOLE! project. The corpus comprises over eight hours of human-to-human monolingual dialogues in English, German and Italian: 49 dialogues in all. We will describe, in detail, the data collection: technical set-up, scenarios, recording procedure and data transcription. We will statistically illustrate the corpus and give an intensive data analysis. The final paper will contain detailed statistics, results and a copious discussion of the findings. We will compare the results between doctor and patient, and among the three language
The Added Value of Multimodality in NESPOLE! Speech-to-Speech Translation System: an Experimental Study
No full textCommunicative Effectivenes in Multimodal and Multilingual Dialogues
No full textMultilingual communication enabled by a multimodal speech-to-speech translation system may differ from "ordinary" monolingual conversation int he conversational structure and in the way gestures are integrated in speech. We describe the second of two user studies conducted within the NESPOLE! project investigating these issues. NESPOLE! exploited a client-server architecture to allow an English, French or German-speaking user, while browsing through the web pages of a service provider on the Internet, to connect to an Italian-speaking human agent. Speech-to-speech translation (STST) is provided so that both speakers can use their own native language
