A Systematic Media Frame Analysis Of 1.5 Million New York Times Articles From 2000 To 2017, Haewoon Kwak, Jisun An

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Framing is an indispensable narrative device for news media because even the same facts may lead to conflicting understandings if deliberate framing is employed. Therefore, identifying media framing is a crucial step to understanding how news media influence the public. Framing is, however, difficult to operationalize and detect, and thus traditional media framing studies had to rely on manual annotation, which is challenging to scale up to massive news datasets. Here, by developing a media frame classifier that achieves state-of-the-art performance, we systematically analyze the media frames of 1.5 million New York Times articles published from 2000 to 2017. By …

Interactive Entity Linking Using Entity-Word Representations, Pei Chi Lo, Ee-Peng Lim

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

To leverage on entity and word semantics in entity linking, embedding models have been developed to represent entities, words and their context such that candidate entities for each mention can be determined and ranked accurately using their embeddings. To leverage on entity and word semantics in entity linking, embedding models have been developed to represent entities, words and their context such that candidate entities for each mention can be determined and ranked accurately using their embeddings. In this paper, we leverage on human intelligence for embedding-based interactive entity linking. We adopt an active learning approach to select mentions for human …

Query Graph Generation For Answering Multi-Hop Complex Questions From Knowledge Bases, Yunshi Lan, Jing Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Previous work on answering complex questions from knowledge bases usually separately addresses two types of complexity: questions with constraints and questions with multiple hops of relations. In this paper, we handle both types of complexity at the same time. Motivated by the observation that early incorporation of constraints into query graphs can more effectively prune the search space, we propose a modified staged query graph generation method with more flexible ways to generate query graphs. Our experiments clearly show that our method achieves the state of the art on three benchmark KBQA datasets.

Improving Multimodal Named Entity Recognition Via Entity Span Detection With Unified Multimodal Transformer, Jianfei Yu, Jing Jiang, Li Yang, Rui Xia

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper, we study Multimodal Named Entity Recognition (MNER) for social media posts. Existing approaches for MNER mainly suffer from two drawbacks: (1) despite generating word-aware visual representations, their word representations are insensitive to the visual context; (2) most of them ignore the bias brought by the visual context. To tackle the first issue, we propose a multimodal interaction module to obtain both image-aware word representations and word-aware visual representations. To alleviate the visual bias, we further propose to leverage purely text-based entity span detection as an auxiliary module, and design a Unified Multimodal Transformer to guide the final …

Students' And Teachers' Perception Of Rapport Management Strategies Used By Teachers, Lobna Sherif

Theses and Dissertations

The present comparative study explores the perceptions of both students and teachers towards rapport-building behaviors, including the similarities and differences in their respective perceptions of such behaviors. Previous research posits that building rapport in classrooms has been correlated with deeper student engagement and higher motivation towards the course, thereby enabling students to enjoy the learning process itself. An array of rapport- building strategies has been explored, including learning students’ names, showing respect towards the students, and using humor in the classroom. A total of 129 students and 51 teachers filled out a perception questionnaire consisting of 26 teacher traits and …

Malay Journal

Dulot ng demokratisasyong ginawa ng digital technology sa produksiyon ng pelikula ang pagyabong ng independent cinema sa Pilipinas. Kasama rito ang mataas na pagkilala’t pagpapahalaga sa mga pelikulang panrehiyon na sumasalamin sa mga kuwento at danas ng pamumuhay sa probinsiya o sa labas ng Metro Manila. Ang mga pelikulang ito ay ayon sa perspektiba ng mga direktor na nagmula sa probinsiyang kanilang kinakatawan. Subalit sa gitna ng mga diskurso tungkol sa masiglang kultura ng paggawa ng pelikula sa iba’t ibang panig ng bansa, kapansin-pansing hindi masyadong napag-uusapan ang mga likha ng mga Bulakenyong direktor sa pelikulang panrehiyon.

Proximity And The Pox: Pathologizing Infidelity In Marston’S Dutch Courtesan, Andrew Fleck

Literatures and Cultural Studies Faculty Publications

Marston’s Dutch Courtesan links the dangers of sexually transmitted infection and false religious doctrine, both spread by the Family of Love. The play finds dark comedy in the syphilis epidemic that urban sexual promiscuity perpetuated and in ridiculous religious heterodoxy. Both seem to thrive on infidelity. By making the tavern-owning Mulligrubs, the sex worker Franceschina, and her bawd Mary Faugh members of the Family of Love, Marston makes the corporeal dangers of illicit sex during an epidemic even more dangerous when its companion is the contagion of Familism, threatening to spread as efficiently as the syphilis ravaging early modern London.

More Than Words For Working With Children And Families, Barr V Campbell, M Lavelle

Plymouth Institute of Education

The focus for this special issue arose as a result of noticing the emerging challenges being made to “traditional,” neoliberal understandings of knowledge and knowing coupled with the strengthening international interest in the professionalization of the early years workforce, who, it might be argued, have worked hard to create a knowledge base from which to grow their understanding of the child. This knowledge base has, to some extent, been dominated by hegemonic discourses of developmentalism— absorbed into policy and standardized within some, if not many, education programs for early years practitioners. These two elements combined offered the opportunity to consider …

Krithi: Cows At The Beach: Improvising Carnatic-Jazz, Toby Wren, Suresh Vaidyanathan

Staff Scholarship - Australia & Dubai

Intercultural creative practice is a topic that has attracted a lot of recent scholarly attention. As improvising musicians from very different cultures and traditions, we decided to analyse a recent collaborative performance that we were involved in to unpack the ways that we were interacting through music. As performers, we were interested primarily in the ways that such an analysis would help us to work more effectively in intercultural situations, but we also wanted to understand the synergies and dissonances that exist between improvising cultures more broadly. For the essay we adopt the musical form of a krithi, a …
