Subjectivity has always been a part of philosophical speculations. However, Immanuel 7 Kant is mentioned as the main figure to bring in subjectivity in modern philosophy by comparing 8 the Critique of Pure Reason with the Copernican revolution. We might include Descartes as well, and 9 not least the followers of Kant, like Fichte and Hegel. Yet none of these end up with subjectivity as 10 the o...

The problem of subjectivity within psychological research has long been recognized. The practices of scientific psychology, however, continue to assume that objectivity is desirable, even if not completely possible, and that subjectivity is a source of bias that must be minimized or eliminated. Such a dispassionate stance has offered and continues to offer a range of benefits, not least a tight...

This paper investigates learner-initiated responses to English language teachers’ referential questions and learner initiatives after teachers’ feedback moves in meaning-focused question-answer sequences to analyze how interactional practices of language teachers, their initiation and feedback moves, facilitate learner initiatives. Classroom discourse research has largely neglected learner init...

In this paper, we explore the behavior of adjectives as indicators of subjectivity in documents. Specifically, we test whether a subset of automatically derived subjective adjectives (Wiebe, 2000b), selected a priori, behaves differently than other adjectives. 3...

Such theories appear to face certain psychopathological counterexamples: patients appear to report consciou...

Contactless RF-based sensing techniques are emerging as a viable means for building gesture recognition systems. While promising, existing solutions have poor generalization ability when targeting new users, environments or device deployment. They also often require multiple pairs of transceivers and large number training samples each target domain. These limitations either lead to cross-domain...
