Internet of things for driving human-like interactions
No full textCurrent smart IoT technologies have the potential to make a breakthrough in the support of Cultural Heritage (CH), by providing information and communication technology to enhance effectively current models of art recreation and enjoyment. To turn such potential into reality, IoT-based technological solutions for CH should be designed by taking into account two main factors: on the one hand, they must be able to involve and attract different types of users, on the other they must avoid focusing users' attention solely on the smartness and novelty of the supporting technologies, thus diverting them from living the experience of being in a cultural site. To this aim, endowing IoT applications with anthropic interfaces seems a promising way to explore, and most prominent among such interfaces are those based on capabilities for Natural Language Understanding and Generation. In this paper we propose a preliminary case study describing an IoT infrastructure supporting Human Computer Interaction (HCI) Models, designed for art recreation. An IoT infrastructure supports a system for Holographic Projections, driven by an NLP interaction, for users' enjoyment in cultural sites. Users' experiences were collected for supporting further analysis and improving the system tuning. Copyright is held by the owner/author(s)
A cloud-based approach for analyzing viral propagation of linguistic deviations by social networking: Current challenges and pitfalls for text analysis tools
No full textSocial Networks activities offer rooms a non-trivial testbed for linguistic analysis, introducing significant revolutions into the creation of textual content. Linguistic solecisms, blunders, and generally speaking deviations from standard linguistic norms, are becoming the rule rather than the exception. Social Networks instantly and virally propagate deviations among users, who are increasingly moving away from standard language usage. Performing text analysis on deviated textual documents is a challenging and hard task. In this work, we propose an approach supporting text analysis tasks against a set of deviated textual documents. It exploits a “linguistic blundersonomy”, a taxonomy of linguistic deviations, progressively built by processing textual Big Data provided by social network, in a Cloud-Based environment (SAP-HANA). A preliminary case study for Italian language is presented, showing how the exploitation of a linguistic blundersonomy could improve the precision of a sentiment and opinion mining process, and more generally, of a text analysis process
The Imitation Game to Cultural Heritage: A Human-like Interaction Driven Approach for Supporting Art Recreation
No full textSmart IoT technologies set a milestone in supporting new enjoyment models for Art and Cultural Heritage, providing amazing technological experiences. However, users, while interacting almost purely by mediation of smart devices or augmented VR displays, practically keep themselves out from living the fullness of the surrounding cultural sites experience, establishing no direct dialogues or interactions with artworks. It sounds quite like to be in the livingroom, looking at very appealing documentaries, equipped with exciting smart technologies. This paper focuses on the importance of “re-humanize” art recreation models, proposing a human-like interaction driven approach. Holographic projections, reproducing human or fantasy characters, play the human presence imitation game, when users are detected close to any artwork, interacting and dialoguing with them in natural language. An IoT infrastructure, an NLP platform and a Holographic Projection Engine implement a system for supporting holographic projections. Preliminary experiments were promising, thus motivating authors to further investigations
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
