Our experience of the world is multimodal we see objects, hear sounds, feel texture, smell odors, and taste flavors. Modality refers to the way in which something happens or is experienced and a research problem is characterized as multimodal when it includes multiple such modalities. In order for Artificial Intelligence to make progress in understanding the world around us, it needs to be able...

The sum of squared differences (SSD) cost function has generally been overlooked for multimodal registration problems. More recently, methods that employ SSD have been developed to efficiently evaluate the global optimal shift and intensity remapping. However, these methods estimate translations and not rotations. In this paper we propose a method to extend the efficiency of the Least Squares M...

This paper presents results of cognitive multimodal analysis English to Ukrainian and Russian translations verbal, visual verbal-visual puns found in the American animated tragicomedy sitcom “BoJack Horseman”. We have that translation verbal presupposes overcoming constraints caused by linguacultural specificity pun-producing source-text linguistic expressions (idioms and/or allusions). Transla...
