This paper argues that the problem of identity is a critical challenge in agents which are able to reason about stories. The Xapagy architecture has been built from scratch to perform narrative reasoning and relies on a somewhat unusual approach to represent instances and identity. We illustrate the approach by a representation of the story of Little Red Riding Hood in the architecture, with a ...

Accurate information extraction program is a key prerequisite for the correct identification of entities on the Web, but their development is not at all a trivial task. Moreover, the maintenance, optimization, and customization of such programs require significant effort and resources. Recent trends in the Information Extraction (IE) research introduce the vision of algebraic information extrac...

In this paper a novel view-invariant human identification method is presented. A multi-camera setup is used to capture the human body from different observation angles. Binary body masks from all the cameras are concatenated to produce the so-called multi-view binary masks. These masks are rescaled and vectorized to create feature vectors in the input space. A view-invariant human body represen...

As efforts grow to develop spatio-temporal database systems and temporal geographic information systems that are capable of conveying how geographic phenomena change, it is important to distinguish the elements that are fundamental to scenarios of change. This paper presents a model based on the explicit description of change with respect to states of existence and non-existence for identifiabl...

The Complex Scaling Method (CSM) provides scattering wave functions which regularize resonances and suggest a resolution of the identity in terms of such resonances, completed by the bound states and a smoothed continuum. But, in the case of inelastic scattering with many channels, the existence of such a resolution under complex scaling is still debated. Taking advantage of results obtained ea...

Abstract: Gender recognition and age detection are important problems in telephone speech processing to investigate the identity of an individual using voice characteristics. In this paper a new gender and age recognition system is introduced based on generative incoherent models learned using sparse non-negative matrix factorization and atom correction post-processing method. Similar to genera...

in diasporic literature the question of identity is tangled with the question of history. this study aims at discussing how yasmin crowther reviews the persian tradition in the saffron kitchen, her autobiographical novel which is mainly set-in early 60s, iran. the novel focuses on evoking and rewriting history by using different types of counter narratives that contrast with iranian hegemonic d...

This paper deals with the study of how racist ideologies are constructed in Crane’s “A Dark Brown Dog” using the CDA framework. Benefitting from the approaching between literature and linguistics, it focuses on the linguistic examination of the (re)construction of whiteness and blackness based on the assumption that racism is: a social, a discursive, and an ideological construct. This tri-dimen...

Recent research has shown that academic writing is not ‘author-evacuated’ but, rather, carries a representation of the writers’ identity. One way through which writers project their identity in academic writing is stance-taking toward propositions advanced in the text. Appropriate stance-taking has proved to be challenging for novice writers of Research Articles (RAs), especially those writing ...
