We present a novel generalized zero-shot algorithm to recognize perceived emotions from gestures. Our task is map gestures emotion categories not encountered in training. introduce an adversarial autoencoder-based representation learning that correlates 3D motion-captured gesture sequences with the vectorized of natural-language terms using word2vec embeddings. The language-semantic embedding p...

In a previous paper, the question of whether diagnosis is a prerequisite of psychotherapy was discussed. On the one hand we have Thorne's statement that "it seems elemental that rational therapy cannot be planned and executed until an accurate diagnosis has been made." On the other hand, Rogers writes that "diagnostic knowledge and skill are not necessary for good therapy." Thorne bases his arg...

OBJECTIVE Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), introduced by Albert Ellis in the late 1950s, is one of the main pillars of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Existing reviews on REBT are overdue by 10 years or more. We aimed to summarize the effectiveness and efficacy of REBT since its beginnings and investigate the alleged mechanisms of change. METHOD Systematic search identified 84 articles...

This paper develops an account of mood selection with attitude predicates in French. I start by examining the “contextual commitment” account of mood developed by Paul Portner and Aynat Rubinstein (P&R). I raise empirical and theoretical challenges for P&R’s analysis of contextual commitment and its role in P&R’s explanations of mood selection. There are indicativeselecting verbs that are felic...

An empirically-guided program designed to empower at-risk youth through increased knowledge of depression and prevention resources was developed and implemented. Ninety-three court-involved adolescents participated in the Moods Matter project, a four-part psycho-educational group experience rooted in the principles of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Addressing the disproportionate inc...

Introduction In the last five years, there has been an explosion of articles about, and interest in, the learning organization. Clearly the concept has caught the imagination of writers on management and of many managers themselves. This is not surprising for it is clear from a range of research around the world that many contemporary organizations are faced with unprecedented environmental cha...

This paper addresses the issue of battery power conservation in wireless personal area networks (WPANs). Specifically, we consider a WPAN, which contains a processor and a disk drive, and develop a collaborative power management technique, which minimizes the total WPAN power consumption. Our approach is based on the theory of rational behavior, which leads to a collaborative architecture where...
