we will argue that the common practice in the literature of giving a long list of senses for spatial prepositions, implying that they are unrelated to one another is not adequate. the more adequate way is presenting a network of related senses based on a prototype. also, speaking specifically about persian preposition /d?r/, we will argue that the meanings of spatial prepositions arise as a con...

Background: Knowing the development pattern of children’s language is applicable in developmental psychology. Network models of language are helpful for the identification of these patterns.  Objectives: We examined the small-world properties of featured semantic networks of developing children. Materials & Methods: In this longitudinal study, the featured semantic networks of children aged 1...

This paper considers a video caption generating network referred to as Semantic Grouping Network (SGN) that attempts (1) group frames with discriminating word phrases of partially decoded and then (2) decode those semantically aligned groups in predicting the next word. As consecutive are not likely provide unique information, prior methods have focused on discarding or merging repetitive infor...

Recent non-local self-attention methods have proven to be effective in capturing long-range dependencies for semantic segmentation. These usually form a similarity map of R^(CxC) (by compressing spatial dimensions) or R^(HWxHW) channels) describe the feature relations along either channel dimensions, where C is number channels, H and W are dimensions input map. However, such practices tend cond...
