We propose a novel generative model that is able to reason jointly about the 3D scene layout as well as the 3D location and orientation of objects in the scene. In particular, we infer the scene topology, geometry as well as traffic activities from a short video sequence acquired with a single camera mounted on a moving car. Our generative model takes advantage of dynamic information in the for...

The question is addressed if opinion mining techniques can be successfully used to automatically retrieve political viewpoints in Dutch parliamentary publications. Two specific tasks are identified: automatically determining subjectivity in the publications and automatically determining the semantic orientation of the subjective parts. A collection of recent parliamentary publications has been ...

Automatic detection and correction of image orientation is of great importance in intelligent image processing. In this paper, we present an automatic image orientation detection algorithm based on the supervised selforganizing map (SOM). The SOM is trained by using compact and efficient low-level chrominance (color) features in a supervised manner. Experiments have been conducted on a database...

In recent years, many researchers in the programming language and formal methods communities have been investigating weakest precondition (WP) semantics for object-oriented (OO) programs. Based on a modified version of Separation Logic, OO Separation Logic, we develop in this article a WP semantics for an OO language with most important object-oriented features including subtypes, visibility, i...

Schema matching is a critical step in many applications, such as data warehouse loading, Online Analytical Process (OLAP), Data mining, semantic web [2] and schema integration. This task is defined for finding the semantic correspondences between elements of two schemas. Recently, schema matching has found considerable interest in both research and practice. In this paper, we present a new impr...

We present two methods for determining the sentiment expressed by a movie review. The semantic orientation of a review can be positive, negative, or neutral. We examine the effect of valence shifters on classifying the reviews. We examine three types of valence shifters: negations, intensifiers and diminishers. Negations are used to reverse the semantic polarity of a particular term, while inte...

A major obstacle to the wider use of 3D object reconstruction and modeling is the extent of manual intervention needed to construct 3D models. Such interventions are currently massive and exist throughout every phase of a 3D reconstruction project: collection of images, image management, establishment of sensor position and image orientation, extracting the geometric detail describing an object...

This research examined the hypothesis that the concept of power is mentally associated with different goals for individuals with a communal versus an exchange relationship orientation (M. S. Clark & J. Mills, 1979). It was predicted that communals associate power with social-responsibility goals, whereas exchangers link power with self-interest goals. Thus, when power is activated, distinct goa...

among the modern methods propounded in linguistics in which they scientifically study the concept and is called semantics. in semantics, the meanings of words are explained via discovering the semantic field of words based on their relations in the semantic networks. in the context of the verses of holy quran, by help of this method, they research for the meanings of quran words. the concept of...

Enterprise Architects and developers constantly have to deal with changing and evolving business requirements. Organizations have to be more dynamic in their collaboration and competition efforts to remain viable. To combat these increasing pressures on the IT resources enterprises are moving towards the paradigm of service orientation. This allows for businesses to leverage their existing inve...
