Pitik, referred as street photography; is a colloquial phrase for taking random photographs, arbitrarily from people without permission and/or consent. Empirically, numerous comments circulating in Facebook Pitik posts containing words related to humiliation, embarrassment, shaming, stalking, and bullying. There are yet no studies conducted confirm or prove the existence extent of cyberbullying...

This paper presents a Hybrid Approach to Deep Machine Translation in the language direction from English to Bulgarian. The set-up uses preand post-processing modules as well as two-level transfer. The language resources that have been incorporated are: WordNets for both languages; a valency lexicon for Bulgarian; aligned parallel corpora. The architecture comprises a predominantly statistical c...

In this paper we aim to model the relationship between the text of a political blog post and the comment volume—that is, the total amount of response—that a post will receive. We seek to accurately identify which posts will attract a high-volume response, and also to gain insight about the community of readers and their interests. We design and evaluate variations on a latentvariable topic mode...

The binary n-gra~ and Viterbi algorithms are alternative approaches to con-te.xtual post-processing for text produced by a noisy channel such as an optical character recognizer. The paper describes the underlying theory of each approach in unified terminology, presents a storage efficient data structure for the binary n-gram algorithm and a recursive formulation for the viterbi algorithm. Relat...

We propose a novel Connectionist Text Proposal Network (CTPN) that accurately localizes text lines in natural image. The CTPN detects a text line in a sequence of fine-scale text proposals directly in convolutional feature maps. We develop a vertical anchor mechanism that jointly predicts location and text/non-text score of each fixed-width proposal, considerably improving localization accuracy...

In a previous paper we showed that providing a reflective/abstractive text can significantly improve how much middle motivation students learn from qualitative physics tutoring. In this paper we further find that the effect can be substantially improved by adjusting the cohesiveness of that text according to these students’ level of prior knowledge. However, in contrast to previous work in the ...

The conventional hypertext authoring framework compels authors to represent their material as an interconnected network of nodes and links. Apart from the diiculties that this alone entails, the situation with HTML is even more problematic since the author is also responsible for mapping the abstract network model onto the computer le system. This is likely to hinder the widespread adoption of ...
