Logic programming rules are provided to capture the rules governing formal poetry in Spanish. The resulting logic program scans verses in Spanish to provide their metric analysis. The program uses DCG grammars to model the division of each word into syllables, and additional predicates are employed to de ne metric phenomena such as synaloepha, syllable count of a verse, rhyme of a word... The s...

This short article summarises a preliminary study of the poetry and correspondence of the English poet Norman Nicholson (1914-1987), undertaken as part of Lancaster University’s Spatial Humanities: Texts, GIS, Places project. In addition to offering a concise explanation of the Spatial Humanities project and the methods it employs, the article explains how working with GIS, visualisation techni...

This paper proposes a new approach to style, arising from our work on computational media using structural blending, which enriches the conceptual blending of cognitive linguistics with structure building operations in order to encompass syntax and narrative as well as metaphor. We have implemented both conceptual and structural blending, and conducted initial experiments with poetry, including...

Communication includes all the ways that human beings can influence others. This involves not only speaking or writing, but also all human behavior in various ways, so there are two types of communicational signs that human beings use: verbal and non-verbal signs. In communication science, special attention has been paid to how non-verbal signs influence message transmission. The research has s...

BACKGROUND Art-based interventions are widely used in medical education. However, data on the potential effects of art-based interventions on medical students have been limited to small qualitative studies on students' evaluation of elective programs, and thus their findings may be difficult to generalize. The goal of this study is to examine, in an unselected students' population, the effect o...

Keong mas atau Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck) (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae) merupakan hama utama pada tanaman padi di Indonesia. Penggunaan serbuk daun pepaya (Carica papaya) dan biduri (Calotropis gigantea) dapat dijadikan sebagai moluskisida nabati alternatif untuk mengendalikan keong mas. Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui toksisitas tunggal dari serta campuran kedua tersebut dua macam perbanding...

We offer Cultural Computing as a method for cultural translation that uses scientific methods to represent the essential aspects of culture. Including images that heretofore have not been the focus of computing, such as images of Eastern thought and Buddhism, and the Sansui paintings, poetry and kimono that evoke these images, we projected the style of communication developed by Zen schools ove...

Poetry is a complex art form. This research is focused on exploring and understanding poetry better by using deep learning. On one hand, there are many different styles of writing a poem, and on the other only a small fraction of poems end up passing the test of time and becoming popular. The objective of this work is to find the causal relationship (if any) between the poem style and it’s popu...
