An approach for analysis and representation of facial dynamics for recognition of facial expressions from image sequences is proposed. The algorithms we develop utilize optical ow computation to identify the direction of rigid and non-rigid motions that are caused by human facial expressions. A mid-level symbolic representation that is motivated by linguistic and psychological considerations is...

Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) is a rich dictionary that map words into several psychological categories such as Affective, Social, Cognitive, Perceptual and Biological processes. In this work, we have used LIWC psycholinguistic categories to train regression models and predict emotion intensity in tweets for the EmoInt-2017 task. Results show that LIWC features may boost emotion inte...

It is generally assumed that concepts are stored as relatively invariant chunks in long term memory. This is the default assumption in most linguistic, psychological, and philosophical work on concepts. But contrary to this assumption is the recent suggestion that both the structure and content of concepts is highly flexible and unstable. I critically review the evidence behind this assertion, ...

We propose a system for flexibly judging the misusage of honorifics in Japanese sentence. The system can point out misused words and phrases, and can also indicate how they are misused. The system uses judgment rules whose degrees of validity in modern Japanese society are quantified by psychological experiments. The system can judge sentences flexibly based on the learner's linguistic level by...

This paper investigates the challenges of inter-organizational cooperation, understood here as the fulfillment of joint tasks. The focus is on challenges or constraints influencing the quality of actions, the performance and, in consequence, the outcome of efforts for the organizations involved. Findings suggest shortcomings on the organizational and the individual level and in different domain...

In this paper we present IDEAL+, a parsing architecture for Italian, which pursues the goal of pairing robustness with deep linguistic analysis by extending a shallow processing kernel with a pool of hybrid constraints for the incremental identification of grammatical relations. The parsing output takes the form of dependency structures representing the full range of instantiated functional rel...

This paper reports on the development and evaluation of an Italian broadcast news corpus at ITC-irst, under a contract with the European Language resources Distribution Agency (ELDA). The corpus consists of 30 hours of recordings transcribed and annotated with conventions similar to those adopted by the Linguistic Data Consortium for the DARPA HUB-4 corpora. The corpus will be completed and rel...
