In this paper we investigate bene ts of classi er combination fusion for a multimodal system for personal identity veri cation The system uses frontal face images and speech We show that a sophisticated fusion strategy enables the system to outperform its facial and vocal modules when taken seperately We show that both trained linear weighted schemes and fusion by Support Vector Machine classi ...

Decision making is an interdisciplinary field, which is explored with methods spanning from economic experiments to brain scanning. Its dominant paradigms such as utility theory, prospect theory, and the modern dual-process theories all resort to formal algebraic models or non-mathematical postulates, and remain purely phenomenological. An approach introduced by Grossberg deployed differential ...

Person-to-person evaluations are prevalent in all kinds of discourse and important for establishing reputations, building social bonds, and shaping public opinion. Such evaluations can be analyzed separately using signed social networks and textual sentiment analysis, but this misses the rich interactions between language and social context. To capture such interactions, we develop a model that...

Recently, many methods of person re-identification (ReID) rely on part-based feature representation to learn a discriminative pedestrian descriptor. However, the spatial context between these parts is ignored for the independent extractor on each separate part. In this paper, we propose to apply Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) in an end-to-end way to model the pedestrian, seen as a sequence of bo...

In this work, we present a deep convolutional pyramid person matching network (PPMN) with specially designed Pyramid Matching Module to address the problem of person reidentification. The architecture takes a pair of RGB images as input, and outputs a similiarity value indicating whether the two input images represent the same person or not. Based on deep convolutional neural networks, our appr...

Collective activity is a collection of atomic activities (individual person's activity) and can hardly be distinguished by an atomic activity in isolation. The interactions among people are important cues for recognizing collective activity. In this paper, we concentrate on modeling the person-person interactions for collective activity recognition. Rather than relying on hand-craft description...

a continually absent person is “a person which is almost a long time laps from his absence and there is not any news behalf him” (article 1011 of civil code). the rules and effects of absence of continually absent person which chapter fifth of civil code specified to it, are mostly derived from jurisprudence, and in fact the base of civil code in this part is emamie jurisprudence. absence of ab...

this research aimed to review the use of second-person reference in advertisement translation, work out the general rules, and provide guidance to translators. using second-person reference is common in the advertising discourse. addressing audiences directly involves their attention and in this way enhances their memorization of the advertised message. second-person reference can be realized v...
