this study presents an overview of the different strategies that persian learners of english employ to deal with initial clusters. while vowel epenthesis appears to be the most widespread repair strategy to conform such clusters to persian phonotactics, the location of the epenthetic vowel varies. in this paper, we investigate two approaches that seek to explain the epenthetic site. the first o...

a r t i c l e i n f o In three experiments inducing a detailed versus abstract processing style using perceptual (Experiment 1), motivational (Experiment 2), and social (Experiment 3) manipulations, we found that empathic concerns are enhanced in contexts associated with a more detailed processing style (i.e., local perceptual scope, prevention motivation, and low power, respectively). Hence, s...

Abstract Recently, there has been an upsurge of activity in image-based non-photorealistic rendering (NPR), and particular portrait image stylisation, due to the advent neural style transfer (NST). However, state performance evaluation this field is poor, especially compared norms computer vision machine learning communities. Unfortunately, task evaluating stylisation thus far not well defined,...

In this paper, we address the problem of optimizing the style of textual content to make it more suitable to being listened to by a user as opposed to being read. We study the differences between the written style and the audio style by consulting the linguistics and journalism literatures. Guided by this study, we suggest a number of linguistic features to distinguish between the two styles. W...

Invasive Computing enables a resource-aware programming style, which includes adapting to external resource changes similar to malleability. We introduce asynchronously-malleable applications, which can adapt at any time without synchronizing the whole application, in contrast to specific synchronization points. We show how master-slave applications meet the requirements for asynchronous mallea...
