About Can we model high-level visual properties such as image quality, memorability and photographic style? Can we leverage large-scale datasets to mitigate the intrinsic uncertainty of these properties? And most importantly, can we successfully employ such models in applications for multimodal classification, retrieval and recommendation? This workshop seeks to stimulate and…

In my last couple of posts, I have spoken about the psychological side of stuttering/stammering, and how our fear of speaking anxiety, is largely as a result of the perceived consequence of speaking with dysfluent speech. I spoke about some of the typical destructive and fear of speaking anxiety provoking consequences, that we can conjure up in our mind. This type of thinking…

F = {} for i = 1, 10 do f[i] = function print(i ..) end end for k = 1, 10 do f[k] end This prints the numbers from 1 to 10. In this case, i is closed over the value for each iteration of the outer loop. This is how I had always understood closures, and I was very happy And now I get the number 10 printed 10 times (let s forget that lua arrays are 1-based). It actually happens…

Semantic markers indicate a change of direction. Without semantic markers the reader infers that more of the same will follow. Thus, The second sentence has more momentum would normally be followed by an amplification of this idea, for example It propels the reader forward by the use of a semantic marker at the beginning.Because , therefore, indicates a change of direction…

Search is changing. David Amerland begins with this sentence in the foreword of his book, Google Semantic Search. If you are a long time user of the Internet and, more specifically, the search engines, you can see how the way we look for information has changed over the past few years. We are at a moment in which semantic search , the ability to put typed searches into context…

Semantics is studied for a number of different reasons but perhaps one of the main ones could be:If we view Semantics as the study of meaning then it becomes central to the study of communication which in turn is an imortant factor in how society is organised. [1] The aim of semantics is to discover why meaning is more complex than simply the words written down in a sentence…

A modified WordNet based similarity measure for word sense disambiguation. • Lexical chains as text representation for ideally cover the theme of texts. • Extracted core semantics are sufficient to reduce dimensionality of feature set. • The proposed scheme is able to correctly estimate the true number of clusters. • The topic labels have good indicator of recognizing and understanding…

Operational semantics are a category of formal programming language semantics in which certain desired properties of a program, such as correctness, safety or security, are verified by constructing proofs from logical statements about its execution and procedures, rather than by attaching mathematical meanings to its terms (denotational semantics). Operational semantics are…

Most folks that are schooled in information retrieval (like my virtual buddy @thegypsy) already know that latent semantic indexing (LSI) is little more than a pipe dream at this point. However, there are still a lot of SEO folks out there that are convinced that LSI is a major factor and spend an inordinate amount of time trying to somehow optimize their sites accordingly…

Your best bet is, as you say, to pass these values as secondary semantics (i.e. pass both a POSITION and a SV_POSITION value). Note that if you place SV_POSITION at the end of the output declaration for the vertex shader, you may omit it from the input declaration for the pixel shader. Regarding the internal error, this is typically due to the declaration of a texture or…

What is Semantic Web? This article compares the Semantic Web, Web 2.0, and the World Wide Web. Five years ago when you said I found out about that on the Web, , everyone knew what you were talking about. By means of hyperlinking or using a Web search engine you found a Web site with information you wanted. Today people may talk about the World Wide Web, Web 2.0 or the Semantic…

Semantic: of, pertaining to, or arising from the different meanings of words or other symbols: semantic change; semantic confusion. Pedantic: overly concerned with minute details or formalisms, esp. in teaching. As an English instructor, I get that language usage changes over time, that words shift meanings. I may not like it much. Seriously, ask me how I feel about people…
