The World Wide Web is currently starting to move from the first generation to the second generation: the Semantic Web. Ontologies are the backbone for this Semantic Web. This paper aims to introduce and give the readers an overview of ontology in general. It discusses the definitions of ontology, kinds of ontology, ontology tools, ontology language and some important ontology projects, both cur...

The availability of high spatial resolution remote sensing data provides new opportunities for urban land-cover classification. More geometric details can be observed in the high resolution remote sensing image, Also Ground objects in the high resolution remote sensing image have displayed rich texture, structure, shape and hierarchical semantic characters. More landscape elements are represent...

Posh accent in British English is associated with upper class. Previous research on poshness has been centred on vocabulary, grammar and phonology, but little is known about the phonetic properties. This study, as part of a larger project, is an attempt to connect posh accent with attractiveness of voice through a common set of dimensions originating from emotional prosody research. Using Vocal...

Emotional state recognition through speech is being a very interesting research topic nowadays. Using subliminal information of speech, denominated as “prosody”, it is possible to recognize the emotional state of the person. One of the main problems in the design of automatic emotion recognition systems is the small number of available patterns. This fact makes the learning process more difficu...

THE Semantic Web has recently emerged as a new and highly promising context for knowledge and data engineering. Within an atmosphere of high expectations, many myths as well as many visions have exhibited a number of different approaches for the exploitation of the Semantic Web in both academia and industry. However, a struggling business reality requires a concrete strategy as well as the deve...

Semantic influences of context on the ease of object identification in real-world scenes are commonly accepted, but when eye movements are taken into account the unanimity dwindles. The question is whether object-in-scene semantics only come into play when the object is foveated or already have an impact during extrafoveal, prefixational object processing, and if so, whether semantic consistenc...

Objective: Verbal fluency is a cognitive function that can be easily assessed in bedside and provide useful data for clinical assessment of a variety of cognitive functions. We decided to provide a standardized test for the assessment of verbal fluency in Persian language, including both phonemic and semantic fluency subtests.  Method: First, three letters (P, D, and Sh) and three categories (...

Objective: According to the declarative/procedural model, the semantic aspect of language depends on the brain structures responsible for declarative memory. The word pairs task is a common tool for evaluating declarative memory. The current study aimed to design a valid and reliable task for evaluating declarative memory in Persian children at learning and retention stages and to investigate i...

With the development of deep learning, great progress has been made in object detection remote sensing (RS) imagery. However, detector is hard to generalize well from one labeled dataset (source domain) another unlabeled (target due discrepancy data distribution (domain shift). Currently, adversarial-based domain adaptation methods align semantic features source and target alleviate shift. But ...
