We present a new gesture recognition method using multimodal data. Our approach solves a labeling problem, which means that gesture categories and their temporal ranges are determined at the same time. For that purpose, a generative probabilistic model is formalized and it is constructed by nonparametrically estimating multi-modal densities from a training dataset. In addition to the convention...

We explore the modal possibility operator and its dual necessity operator in qualitative data analysis , and show that it (quite literally) complements the derivation operator of formal concept analysis; we also propose a new generalisation of the rough set approximation operators. As an example for the applicability of the concepts we investigate the Morse data set which has been frequently st...

Multi-modal semantics has relied on feature norms or raw image data for perceptual input. In this paper we examine grounding semantic representations in raw auditory data, using standard evaluations for multi-modal semantics, including measuring conceptual similarity and relatedness. We also evaluate cross-modal mappings, through a zero-shot learning task mapping between linguistic and auditory...

“ba:y?d” as a persian lexeme is interwoven with modality, a semantic category and therefore has a complicated and thought- provoking semantic nature. this paper uses evidence from persian to investigate the usage of this lexeme and some of its semantic and pragmatic aspects in this language. the results indicate that this lexical category can convey a wide range of modal meanings in different c...

Wireless sensing technology has made it possible to instrument large civil structures, such as bridges, with dense networks of wireless sensors. Because many wireless sensing platforms integrate data processing capabilities with high-precision analog-to-digital converters, it is possible to autonomously process sensor data without the need for a central data server. By employing parallel proces...

A modal logical schema is introduced for the exploration of a multi-player generalization of the Prisoner’s Dilemma in which (a) each participant has at least k available moves, and (b) participants can be members of more than one coalition of successful participants. The methodology employed illustrates how the principle governing the aggregative behaviour of formulae within the scope of the 2...

We introduce reference structures { a basic mathematical model of a data organization capable to store and utilize information about its addresses. A propositional labeled modal language is used as a speciication and programming language for reference structures; the satissability algorithm for modal language gives a method of building and optimizing reference structures satisfying a given form...

The vibration data obtained from ambient, drop-weight, and shaker excitation tests of the Z24 Bridge in Switzerland are analyzed to extract modal parameters such as natural frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes. System identification techniques including Frequency Domain Decomposition and Eigensystem Realization Algorithm are employed for the extraction of modal parameters and the statio...

Nowadays multi-modal visual data are much easier to access as the technology develops. Nevertheless, there is an underlying problem hidden behind the emerging multi-modality techniques: What if one/more modal data fail? Motivated by this question, we propose an unsupervised method which well handles the incomplete multi-modal data by transforming the original and incomplete data to a new and co...
