Computational Linguistics (CL) associated with the Internet of Multimedia Things (IoMT)-enabled multimedia computing applications brings several research challenges, such as real-time speech understanding, deep fake video detection, emotion recognition, home automation, and so on. Due to emergence machine translation, CL solutions have increased tremendously for different natural language proce...

Postural control is significantly affected by the postural base of support; however, the effects on postural adaptation are not well understood. Here we investigated how adaptation and transfer of anticipatory postural control are affected by stance width. Subjects made reaching movements in a novel dynamic environment while holding the handle of a force-generating robotic arm. Each subject ini...

The view that academic writing is purely objective, impersonal and informational, which is often reflected in English for Academic Purposes materials, has been criticized by a number of researchers. By now, the view of academic writing as embodying interaction among writers, readers and the academic community as a whole has been established. Following this assumption, the present study focused ...

Classifying the stance expressed in online microblogging social media is an emerging problem in opinion mining. We propose a probabilistic approach to stance classification in tweets, which models stance, target of stance, and sentiment of tweet, jointly. Instead of simply conjoining the sentiment or target variables as extra variables to the feature space, we use a novel formulation to incorpo...

Stance detection is a subproblem of sentiment analysis where the stance of the author of a piece of natural language text for a particular target (either explicitly stated in the text or not) is explored. The stance output is usually given as Favor, Against, or Neither. In this paper, we target at stance detection on sports-related tweets and present the performance results of our SVM-based sta...

This study investigated the lower extremity preventive measures for slips on simulated slippery surfaces in construction worksites. A total of 15 harnessed Chinese males walked without slips on a 5-m walkway in 16 simulated conditions 10 times at their natural cadence. Joint moments were calculated from kinetics, kinematics and anthropometric data recorded from a force plate, a Novel Pedar syst...

This paper describe a weakly supervised solution for detecting stance in tweets, submitted to the SemEval 2016 Stance Task. Our approach is based on the premise that stance can be exposed as positive or negative opinions, although not necessarily about the stance target itself. Our system receives as input ngrams representing opinion targets and common terms used to denote stance (e.g. hashtags...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to compare spatio-temporal gait parameters between elderly and young male subjects. methods & materials: 57 able-bodied elderly (72±5.5 years) and 57 healthy young (25±8.5 years) subjects participated in this study. a four segment model consist of trunk, hip, shank, and foot with 10 reflective markers were used to define lower limbs. kinematic data coll...
