Framing: toward clarification of a fractured paradigm’’,
- Journal of Communication
, 1993
"... In response to the proposition that communication lacks disciplinary status because of deficient core knowledge, I propose that we turn an ostensible weakness into a strength. We should identify our mission as bringing together insights and theories that would otherwise remain scattered in other di ..."

UNIT SELECTION IN A CONCATENATIVE SPEECH SYNTHESIS SYSTEM USING A LARGE SPEECH DATABASE
, 1996
"... One approach to the generation of natural-sounding syn-thesized speech waveforms is to select and concatenate units from a large speech database. Units (in the current work, phonemes) are selected to produce a natural realisation of a target phoneme sequence predicted from text which is annotated wi ..."

Distributed Optimization by Ant Colonies
, 1991
"... Ants colonies exhibit very interesting behaviours: even if a single ant only has simple capabilities, the behaviour of a whole ant colony is highly structured. This is the result of coordinated interactions. But, as communication possibilities among ants are very limited, interactions must be based ..."

of interest is how almost blind animals manage to establish shortest route paths from their colony to feeding sources and back. In the case of ants, the media used to communicate among individuals information regarding paths and used to decide where to go consists of pheromone trails. A moving ant lays some
Memory for Serial Order: A Network Model of the Phonological Loop and its Timing
- Psychological Review
, 1999
"... A connectionist model of human short-term memory is presented that extends the 'phonological loop' (A.D. Baddeley, 1986) to encompass serial order and learning. Psychological and neuropsychological data motivate separate layers of lexical, timing and input and output phonemic information ..."

In fact, we can split it, with no loss of generality 1, into three sub-blocks (Fig. 2.1) : a Text Analyser (TA), a Grapheme-To-Phoneme transcriber (GTP), and a Prosody Ge ..."

From factors to actors: Computational sociology and agent-based modeling
- Annual Review of Sociology
, 2002
"... s Abstract Sociologists often model social processes as interactions among variables. We review an alternative approach that models social life as interactions among adaptive agents who influence one another in response to the influence they receive. These agent-based models (ABMs) show how simple ..."

and predictable local interactions can generate familiar but enigmatic global patterns, such as the diffusion of information, emergence of norms, coordination of conventions, or participation in collective action. Emergent social patterns can also appear unexpectedly and then just as dramatically transform
Forming sparse representations by local anti-Hebbian learning
, 1990
"... How does the brain form a useful representation of its environment? It is shown here that a layer of simple Hebbian units connected by modifiable anti- Hebbian feed-back connections can learn to code a set of patterns in such a way that statistical dependency between the elements of the representati ..."

Competition for consciousness among visual events: the Psychophysics of reentrant visual processes
- Journal of Experimental Psychology: General
, 2000
"... Advances in neuroscience implicate reentrant signaling as the predominant form of communication between brain areas. This principle was used in a series of masking experiments that defy explanation by feed-forward theories. The masking occurs when a brief display of target plus mask is continued wit ..."

Recognition of Greek Phonemes using Support Vector Machines
"... Abstract. In the present work we study the applicability of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) on the phoneme recognition task. Specifically, the Least Squares version of the algorithm (LS-SVM) is employed in recognition of the Greek phonemes in the framework of telephone-driven voice-enabled informatio ..."

In a comparative evaluation of various classification methods, the SVM-based phoneme recognizer demonstrated a superior performance. Recognition rate of 74
Phoneme discrimination

To avoidmethodological confounds, in the current study the same task and stimuli of comparable complexity were used to i ..."
