Processing keyword-based queries is a central problem in Information Retrieval (IR), where several studies have been done to develop effective keyword-based search techniques [1, 2]. A standard containment keyword-based query, which retrieves textual identities that contain a set of keywords, is generally supported by a full-text index. The inverted index is considered as one of the most useful...

Accurately predicting customer preferences is a highly sought after goal, for it allows businesses to market a product to individuals in a way that is most likely to generate a sale. This can be particularly important in the movie industry, where individual preferences can vary greatly. Recognizing this, the online movie rental business Netflix has sponsored a contest to find better ways of mak...

Using box-office data for all movies released between 1982 and 2000, I quantify how much the consumption decisions of individuals depend on information they receive from their peers, when quality is ex ante uncertain. In the presence of social learning, we should see different box-office sales dynamics depending on whether opening weekend demand is higher or lower than expected. I use a unique ...

Expressions of emotions are pervasive in media, especially in movies. In this article, we focus on the emotional relationships of movie characters in narrative thought and emotional storytelling. Several studies examine emotion elicitation through movies, but there is a gap in scientific literature and in the practice to quantitatively consider emotions among the characters of a movie story, wh...

We describe efforts towards getting better resources for EnglishArabic machine translation of spoken text. In particular, we look at movie subtitles as a unique, rich resource, as subtitles in one language often get translated into other languages. Movie subtitles are not new as a resource and have been explored in previous research; however, here we create a much larger bi-text (the biggest to...

We compare Visual Berrypicking, an interactive approach allowing users to explore large and highly faceted information spaces using similarity-based two-dimensional maps, with traditional browsing techniques. For large datasets, current projection methods used to generate maplike overviews suffer from increased computational costs and a loss of accuracy resulting in inconsistent visualizations....

Visual experience can cause functional modification in the adult visual cortex; however, how cortical receptive fields (RFs) are dynamically modified by natural scene stimulation remains unclear. Here, using in vivo patch-clamp recordings from neurons in the rat primary visual cortex (V1), we showed that minutes of conditioning with natural movies could increase the similarity between cortical ...
