As far as Greek cinema is concerned, the last few decades have seen both a rise in genre –including horror- films and emergence of so-called (Greek) Weird Wave, term that refers not to specific such but rather an aesthetic (mostly with regard stylistic approach frequently subject matter too). Boasting (relatively) big production value wide media exposure, lot from these types tend touch on conc...

We consider methods for training a prosodic classifier using labeled training data from a different genre than the one on which the system will be deployed. Two binary tasks are considered: word-level pitch accent and phrase boundary detection. Using radio news and conversational telephone speech, we consider cross-genre training using acoustic and textual features, and find that acoustic featu...

<span>One of the most commonly used techniques in recommendation framework is collaborative filtering (CF). It performs better with sufficient records user rating but not good sparse data. Content-based works well dataset as it finds similarity between movies by using attributes movies. RBM an energy-based model serving a backbone deep learning and prediction. However, prediction preferab...

In this paper, we describe an XML based 3D-Voice Enabled Single Transmission Multiple Display Multimedia Language (3D-VE STMDML) model and its implementation. We describe 3D-scenes, mesh based 3D objects, integration of 2D and 3D objects, object animations with collision avoidance, and voice based animation control. This model has been used to download object based movies over the Internet, dyn...

Classification of musical genres gives a useful measure of similarity and is often the most useful descriptor of a musical piece. Previous techniques to use hidden Markov models (HMMs) for automatic genre classification have used a single HMM to model an entire song or genre. This paper provides a framework to give finer segmentation of HMMs through acoustic segment modeling. Modeling each of t...

Research on teaching writing in Arabic as a less commonly taught language is still in its infancy. Motivated by the dearth of research on the integration of the genre-based approach into teaching writing in Arabic and the absence of such an approach, this paper proposes a genre-based framework for teaching writing in Arabic. Building on conclusions drawn from recent research, it proposes four s...

A new genus, Leptomenes, is designated for the pontoniine shrimp Periclimenes dolichosternum & Mitsuhashi, 2003. The single species is known only from the type material from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan. Resumé : Un nouveau genre, Leptomenes, pour le crevette pontoniinae, Periclimenes dolichosternum Okuno & Mitsuhashi, 2003 (Crustacea : Decapoda : Palaemonidae). Un nouveau genre, Leptomenes, est p...

Tomography--cross-sectional imaging based on measuring radiation transmitted through an object along different directions--enables non-invasive imaging of hidden stationary objects, such as internal bodily organs, from their sequentially measured projections. Here we adapt tomographic methods to visualize--in one laser shot--the instantaneous structure and evolution of a laser-induced object pr...
