Hidden Markov model (HMM) is one of the popular techniques for story segmentation, where hidden Markov states represent the topics, and the emission distributions of n-gram language model (LM) are dependent on the states. Given a text document, a Viterbi decoder finds the hidden story sequence, with a change of topic indicating a story boundary. In this paper, we propose a discriminative approa...

this paper presents new sensitivity-based methods for detection of structural damage using incomplete noisy modal data. these methods are based on the first-order derivative of modal parameters. changes of natural frequency do not usually provide spatial information on the structural damage. they are also not sensitive to the local damage. in this paper, a new sensitivity function is proposed u...

The phenomenal rise of Internet weblogging has created new opportunities for people to tell personal stories of their life experience, and the potential to share these stories with those who can most benefit from reading them. One barrier to this new mode of storytelling is the lack of accessibility; existing Internet search tools are not tailored to the unique characteristics of this textual g...

Recent theories about the representation of thematic information in memory propose that two episodes that share a theme are connected together through a thematic structure. We investigated the use of such cross-episode connections in comprehension and memory in six experiments. Experiments 1 and 2 used a priming technique; it was found that verification time for a test sentence from one story w...

In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are stated for the Craig-Sakamoto equation det(I − sA − tB) = det(I − sA)det(I − tB) to hold for all scalars s, t ∈ C. Moreover, spectral properties for matrices A and B that satisfy this equation are investigated.

The Topy system automates real-time story tracking by utilizing crowdsourced tagging on social media platforms. Topy employs a state-of-the-art Twitter hashtag recommender to continuously annotate news articles with hashtags, a rich meta-data source that allows connecting articles under drastically different timelines than typical keyword based story tracking systems. Employing social tags for ...

in this paper, seismic behavior of the existing buildings equipped by friction dampers is studied. seismic performance of6-story, 9-story and 12-story steel buildings with damper and without damper were studied. the finite element modeling technique (sap2000 software) is used for analysis. time history analyzing was done to achieve this purpose. for nonlinear dynamic analysis, the responses of ...

Branching story games have gained popularity for creating unique playing experiences by adapting story content in response to user actions. Research in interactive narrative (IN) uses automated planning to generate story plans for a given story problem. However, a story planner can generate multiple story plan solutions, all of which equally-satisfy the story problem definition but contain diff...
