The field of Computational Paralinguistics is rapidly growing and is of interest in various application domains ranging from biomedical engineering to forensics. The INTERSPEECH ComParE challenge series has a field-leading role, introducing novel problems with a common benchmark protocol for comparability. In this work, we tackle all three ComParE 2016 Challenge corpora (Native Language, Sincer...

The first part of this paper examines the practice of informed treatment decisions in the protective medical system in China today. The second part examines how health care professionals in China perceive and carry out their responsibilities when relaying information to vulnerable patients, based on the findings of an empirical study that I had undertaken to examine the moral experience of nurs...

In the Sincerity Sub-Challenge of the Interspeech ComParE 2016 Challenge, the task is to estimate user-annotated sincerity scores for speech samples. We interpret this challenge as a ranklearning regression task, since the evaluation metric (Spearman’s correlation) is calculated from the rank of the instances. As a first approach, Deep Neural Networks are used by introducing a novel error crite...

This study examines the concept of mortality from perspective Imam Junaid Al-Baghdadi and its relevance in counteracting religious radicalism. research is library using primary data book Rasail descriptive-analytical techniques analyzing data. found that there are three levels view Al-Baghdadi; first, mortal towards morals through persistence against lust consistently avoiding actions violate n...

Both prosecutors and defense attorneys have presented religious appeals and testimony about a defendant's religious activities in order to influence capital jurors' sentencing. Courts that have objected to this use of religion fear that religion will improperly influence jurors' decisions and interfere with their ability to weigh aggravators and mitigators. This study investigated the effects o...

We discuss here the need to define what we call an agent conversational language, a language for Embodied Conversational Agents (ECA) to have conversations with a human. We propose a set of Expressive Multimodal Conversation Acts (EMCA), which is based on the Expressive Speech Acts that we introduced in a previous work, enriched with the multimodal expression of the emotions linked to these act...

Message semantics are traditionally defined in terms of mental states, which is a trend that is criticized for assuming the sincerity and cooperativeness of agents. To circumvent these limitations, several proposals have been put forth to define the semantics of messages using social commitments. We follow this trend and present a conversational model where the meaning of messages is based on t...

The paper is about trust in information sources in the context of Multi Agents Systems and it is focused on information and trust propagation. Trust definition is inspired from Cognitive Science and it is seen as a truster’s belief in some trustee’s properties which are called: sincerity, competence, vigilance, cooperativity, validity and completeness. These definitions are formalized in Modal ...
