Full textTraditional author detection is conducted on powerful computers using documents such as books and articles. With the explosion of mobile phone computing use, modern author detection needs to be lean enough to operate on a resource restrained mobile phone and robust enough to handle the terse and non-standard wording in text messages, Tweets, and e-mails. By testing natural language and machine learning techniques for size and speed, not just effectiveness, this thesis identifies feature and technique combinations appropriate for author detection on a mobile phone. Specifically this thesis will examine effectiveness versus storage size for word grams of size 1, 2, and 5 as well as Gappy Bigrams and Orthogonal Sparse Bigrams. To deal with the robust nature of Tweets and text message, the Google Web1T corpus will be tested for size versus effectiveness in combination with the word grams. Once appropriate feature and technique combinations are found, those combinations will be tested on actual Android mobile phones to gauge how effective the chosen techniques are on a real mobile phone.

Full textFor sixty-seven years, beginning in 1932 and ending with his death in 1999, llya Alexandrovich Musin trained orchestral conductors at the Leningrad (later St. Petersburg) Conservatory in the techniques which have since come to be known as the Leningrad School of Orchestral Conducting. Due to matters both political and ethnic in nature, Musin failed in securing a podium of his own. As a result, he turned to the classroom, educating generations of conductors in a method of non-verbal communication which finds its roots in the commonplace gestures of everyday life. Musin committed his entire life to these methods, which he not only taught, but also included in his writings, four volumes of which have been published to date. Over the course of his lengthy career, Musin is thought to have taught over onehundred- sixty conductors, roughly ninety of which would go on to become professional conductors and teachers of conducting. From Musin's studio have come conductors whose careers are visible and important, including Yuri Temirkanov, Valery Gergiev, Semyon Bychkov, Martyn Brabbins, Sian Edwards, Oleg Proskurnya, Leonid Korchmar, and Alexander Polishchuk, to name a few. The purpose of this study is to document the musical and educational beliefs, activities, and theories of Russian conducting pedagogue llya Alexandrovich Musin, to examine his roles as pedagogue, conductor, and author, to apply his ideas to the preparation of teacher/conductors and to provide possible solutions for solving problems within the current system of conductor/teacher preparation. The importance of this study lies in its potential for use in the field of music education, particularly for conductor education and music teacher education. It is expected that this research will be valuable to the academic community in tracing the pedagogical style and methods of an educator whose career was both long and fruitful, and whose methods may be effective in solving issues in the arena of teacher/conductor preparation.

If we are to understand human intelligence, then we need to understand human story understanding competencies, including our ability to communicate. Communication can be thought of as an externalization of an inner model of the world or an attempt to shape the inner model of the world of another. To communicate effectively, humans must analyze not only what is said, but also how it is said. My goal in this work was to develop a cognitive model of how we produce a coherent argument, explain its elements, and provide a full analysis of authorial intent. In this thesis, I propose a cognitive model of Story Modulation, or how humans glean information about a communicator's intentions or attempt to shape the inner story of their audience via key characteristics of wording. The model explains how we assemble textual evidence such as passive voice, instances of harm, and use of hedging words such as alleged, to tell a coherent story of the communicator's rhetorical goals. I demonstrate this computational model with an implementation, RASHI, that recognizes and systematically highlights intentions. The implementation reads short news-like stories in simple English and identifies modulations in text that reveal the author's intent to influence three areas-sympathy, agency, and doubt. The system gathers objective evidence using a system of modular experts, interprets the evidence with culturally-specfic subjectivity models, and distills the potentially-conflicting interpretations into a short, coherent argument about the author's intentions. I argue that RASHI, as a computational model of human communication, can be used to improve discourse surrounding the media, elevate education in critical reading, facilitate political negotiations and resolutions, and help us bridge gaps across cultures by transforming stories to be more culturally appropriate.

Full textNavegar é preciso, viver não é preciso, evocava o poeta Fernando Pessoa. No início do século XXI, navegar também é o verbo. Porém, navegamos todos nas ondas da internet. Sites aparecem e somem na tela em questão de segundos - basta clicar uma vez. O presente trabalho pretende investigar como a autoria se configura na contemporaneidade, considerando o surgimento das chamadas novas mídias. Serão analisados dois fenômenos: o primeiro é o do descentramento da autoria, com a publicação de experiências de escrita compartilhada em blogs e interferências do mercado editorial sobre o processo de produção da escrita, com sugestão de temas, de formatos ou procedimentos que costumavam ser geridos pelo próprio autor na criação de sua obra. O segundo fenômeno, aparentemente oposto ao primeiro, refere-se ao fortalecimento da figura do autor nos meios virtuais, especialmente nas redes sociais, o que pode nos sugerir uma ressurreição do autor. Esse fortalecimento passa pela criação da persona do autor em ambiente virtual, onde tudo parece ser impreciso, pois um único suporte - a tela do computador - é o espaço tanto da comunicação de informações consideradas reais quanto da ficção. Portanto, pretendemos investigar a presença do autor em dois campos: no campo virtual, com participação e trabalho na internet, e no campo presencial, através da participação em feiras literárias, entrevistas e outros eventos,destacando-se a sua crescente profissionalização. Michel Foucault, na década de 60, pergunta O que é um autor?, e seu questionamento permanece extremamente vívido na volatilidade dos tempos cibernéticos.
Navigare necesse est, vivere non est necesse - suggested the portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa. In the beginning of the 21st century to navigate is a powerful verb, since we all navigate on the internet. At a click - sites come and go in our screens. This dissertation intends to investigate how autorship develops in contemporary times, in the face of the birth of new media. We intend to analyze two phenomena: the first one would be a decentralisation of authorship through the publishing of shared writing in blogs and the interference of the publishing market in the process of writing, with suggestions of themes, formats or procedures that used to be in authors hands in the past. This phenomenon demonstrates the progressive profissionalization of the author. The second one - apparently opposed to the first one - refers to what we might call the strenght of the author s image, especially in cyberspace, that has lead to a kind of resurrection of the author. This phenomena contributes towards the creation of an author s persona in cyberspace, where everything seems to be imprecise, since a single arena - the computer screen - is the place where both fictional and non-fictional communication takes place. Therefore, we intend to investigate the author s presence in two fields: cyberspace, through their participation and work on internet, and in real life, through their participation in literary events and interviews. What is an author? Michel Foucault asked back in the 60s, and his question remains relevant in the volatility of our cyber times.

Full textEste trabalho apresenta a construção de um possível percurso da constituição da autoria por três alunos do Curso de Letras do Campus Avançado de Jataí (CAJ). Trilhar pelo caminho dessa reconstituição se deu a partir de análises das monografias desses alunos, realizadas no último ano de graduação, como quesito obrigatório da disciplina Didática e Prática de Ensino de Português. O graduando em Letras, visto aqui como sujeito-autor, é um leitor que passa a ler a si mesmo, apropriando-se de textos para compor outros. Sabemos que a escrita existe após a leitura do sujeito, que deseja uma visão ímpar e, daí a (re)constrói a partir da reprodução primeira. Sendo assim, a autoria é vista neste trabalho como um processo singular, com a presença do Outro que permite com que vá se (re)velando de modo nada organizado e nada previsível dentro do sujeito-construtor da sua própria autoria. Analisar os discursos dos alunos em seus trabalhos monográficos mostra como a singularidade acontece e atravessa a concepção pronta e acabada de formação de alunos: afinal eles se formam a seus modos e com seus Outros e o tempo todo.

Full textInom området som behandlar författarbestämning har många olika tillvägagångs- sätt använts for att identiera författaren av en skriven text. Genom att identfiera den individuella variation som särskiljer texter från varandra,kan olika särdrag beräknas. Dessa särdrags värden beräknas vanligen genom att normaliseras till ett medelvärde över hela texten. När denna typ av Enkla särdrag används så döljs mycket av den variation som särskiljertexter från varandra. Målet med detta projekt är att istället användatextens sekventiella natur som grund for att deniera Sekventiella särdrag på meningsnivå. Teorin är att de sekventiella särdragen kommer att kunna identifiera mer av den variation som kan identifieras i texter, jämfört med de enkla särdragen. For att utvärdera dessa särdrag gjordes en klassicering av författare på era olika dataset. Resultatet visade att de sekventiella särdragen presterade bättre än de enkla särdragen i vissa fall, men skillnaden var inte tillräckligt stor for att bekräfta teorin om att de skulle vara bättre än de enkla sädragen.

While the Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP) has recently been widely applied to topic modeling tasks, most current hybrid models for concurrent inference of topics and other factors are not based on HDP. In this dissertation, we present two new models that extend an HDP topic modeling framework to incorporate other learning factors. One model injects Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) based sentiment learning into HDP. This model preserves the benefits of nonparametric Bayesian models for topic learning, while learning latent sentiment aspects simultaneously. It automatically learns different word distributions for each single sentiment polarity within each topic generated. The other model combines an existing HDP framework for learning topics from free text with latent authorship learning within a generative model using author list information. This model adds one more layer into the current hierarchy of HDPs to represent topic groups shared by authors, and the document topic distribution is represented as a mixture of topic distribution of its authors. This model automatically learns author contribution partitions for documents in addition to topics.
