A shared-private sentiment analysis approach based on cross-modal information interaction

To explore the heterogeneous sentiment information in each modal feature and improve the accuracy of sentiment analysis, this paper proposes a Multimodal Sentiment Analysis based on Text-Centric Sharing-Private Affective Semantics (TCSP). First, the Deep Canonical Time Wrapping (DCTW) algorithm is employed to effectively align the timing deviations of Audio and Picture modalities. Then, a cross-modal shared mask matrix is designed, and a mutual attention mechanism is introduced to compute the shared affective semantic features of Audio-picture-to-text. Following this, the private affective semantic features within Audio and Picture modalities are derived via the self-attention mechanism with LSTM. Finally, the Transformer Encoder structure is improved, achieving deep interaction and feature fusion of cross-modal emotional information, and conducting emotional analysis. Experiments are conducted on the IEMOCAP and MELD datasets. By comparing with current state-of-the-art models, the accuracy of the TCSP model reaches 82.02%, fully validating the effectiveness. In addition, the rationality of the design of each structure within the model is verified through ablation experiments.

Mathematical analysis of wavelet-based multi-image compression in medical diagnostics

Accurate diagnosis and well-informed treatment choices are only possible with the help of sophisticated medical imaging technology. The introduction of digital imaging methods has led to a dramatic rise in the volume of data associated with medical images, which in turn has led to difficulties in their storage, transmission, and administration. It is crucial to utilize effective image compression techniques to address these challenges without compromising the diagnostic integrity of the pictures. The wavelet transform has matured into a potent method for striking a good compromise between picture quality and file size reduction while compressing. The safe and efficient transfer of medical image data is a major concern in today’s healthcare settings. In this academic investigation, we investigate how wavelet transform-based techniques may be used to enhance medical picture compression. The proposed techniques optimize compression ratios while maintaining diagnostic picture quality by making use of the wavelet transform’s multi-resolution and frequency localization features. To address the unique challenges given by medical image collections, various iterations of the wavelet transform and compression techniques are investigated. Through a series of detailed tests involving several medical picture modalities, the effectiveness of these technologies is thoroughly evaluated, demonstrating their effectiveness in achieving significant data reduction without sacrificing clinical information.

Effects of input modality on alignment in continuation writing

Previous studies demonstrated that alignment entailed in the continuation task can facilitate language learning (e.g., Wang & Wang, 2015), but the investigation into how to maximize alignment to tap greater learning potential is still in its infancy. The present study extends this line of inquiry by examining whether interaction with multimodal presentations would bring about enhanced alignment effect in the reading-writing continuation task. Participants were three groups of Chinese senior English as a foreign language (EFL) learners who were exposed to each of the three input modalities: text modality, text+picture modality and text+video modality. Results showed that 1) text+video modality brought about stronger alignment at both linguistic and situational levels, more accurate and cohesive writing production; 2) text+picture modality only magnified alignment at situation models; 3) learners varied their perceptions towards the incorporation of pictorial and video input. Pedagogical implications of the study were thereafter discussed.

Copy Move Forgery Detection: The Current Implications and Contemporary Practices

Copy move forgeries are a type of digital retouching that takes place in the field of image modification. This type of retouching occurs when one element of a picture is replicated over to a different segment of the photograph. This is typically done in an effort to mask or cover up undesirable qualities of the photograph thus copy move forgeries are a form of image modification. When it comes to digital picture modalities, copy move forging is by far the most prevalent form of picture manipulation that may take place. This is mainly observed when certain elements or segments of the recorded file are duplicated in the recorded file. The identification and localization of forgeries is a prominent problem that has piqued the attention of scholars working in the field of digital forensics and continues to do so. The identification of photo forgery has previously been the subject of several methodologies and uncountable publications, all of which were created and published. An abridged description of the present methodology and approaches is provided in this document, along with a survey and condensed summaries of current research and successes, among other things.

Human Brain Dynamics Reflect the Correctness and Presentation Modality of Physics Concept Memory Retrieval.

Human memory retrieval is the core cognitive process of the human brain whenever it is processing the information. Less study has focused on exploring the neural correlates of the memory retrieval of scientific concepts when presented in word and picture modalities. Fewer studies have investigated the differences in the involved brain regions and how the brain dynamics in these regions would associate with the accuracy of the memory retrieval process. Therefore, this study specifically focused on investigating the human brain dynamics of participants when they retrieve physics concepts in word vs. pictorial modalities, and whether electroencephalogram (EEG) activities can predict the correctness of the retrieval of physics concepts. The results indicated that word modality induced a significant stronger right frontal theta augmentation than pictorial modality during the physics concepts retrieval process, whereas the picture modality induced a significantly greater right parietal alpha suppression than the word modality throughout the retrieval process spurred by the physics concept presentations. In addition, greater frontal midline theta augmentation was observed for incorrect responses than the correct responses during retrieve physics concepts. Moreover, the frontal midline theta power has greater negative predictive power for predicting the accuracy of physics concepts retrieval. In summary, the participants were more likely to retrieve physics concepts correctly if a lower amount of theta were allocated during the maintaining period from 2,000 ms through 3,500 ms before making responses. It provides insight for our future application of brain computer interface (BCI) in real-time science learning. This study implies that the lower frontal midline theta power is associated with a lower degree of cognitive control and active maintenance of representations as participants approach a correct answer.

Show, Don't Tell: Education and Physical Experience Effects in Remanufactured Product Markets

Problem Definition: We study the effectiveness of two theoretically and practically relevant interventions designed to stimulate the appeal of and willingness to pay (wtp) for re-manufactured (refurbished) consumer products that are often found repulsive by consumers: 1) educating consumers about the re-manufacturing process, 2) providing physical experience with re-manufactured products. Academic/Practical Relevance: We contribute to the emerging literature on behavioral issues in a circular economy, which examines consumer attitudes toward sustainable product solutions and ways to improve them. We provide insights to practitioners regarding how the adoption rates and wtp for re-manufactured consumer products may (may not) be improved through certain managerial interventions. Methodology: We conduct an online survey and two randomized experiments in a controlled lab environment and a regression based mediation analysis with non-parametric bootstrapping technique to answer the research questions. Results: Education does not cause an increase in the appeal of and wtp for re-manufactured consumer products. Providing physical experience, relative to text and text plus picture modalities, significantly increases both the appeal of and wtp, as a result of increasing perceived quality and decreasing disgust. Managerial Implications: Sellers can benefit from marketing re-manufactured consumer products through physical channels (i.e., brick-and-mortar, outlet, showroom stores) as opposed to solely through online channels, which is the common wisdom.

Convolution Index based Unsupervised Label Procedure for Efficient Medical Image Exploration

Medical imaging is a forceful idea of various medicinal ideas i.e. malignant growth and other related infections, present days; various kinds of therapeutic pictures are caught and saved in computerized position in medicinal research focuses. Confronting this kind of huge volume of picture information with various sorts of picture modalities, it is critical to execute effective content based image retrieval (CBIR) for restorative research focuses. Picture mark ordering is another actualized strategy for medicinal picture recovery. Traditionally various kinds of CBIR methodologies are proposed to give unsatisfied therapeutic picture recovery results. So that in this paper, propose a Convolution Index based Unsupervised Label (CIUL) way to deal with recover marks of pictures utilizing AI wording. We characterize AI as matrix convex optimization with cluster-based matrix representation which can be utilized to improve the productivity in picture recovery framework.

Temporal dynamics of access to amodal representations of category-level conceptual information

Categories describe semantic divisions between classes of objects and category-based models are widely used for investigation of the conceptual system. One critical issue in this endeavour is the isolation of conceptual from perceptual contributions to category-differences. An unambiguous way to address this confound is combining multiple input-modalities. To this end, we showed participants person/place stimuli using name and picture modalities. Using multivariate methods, we searched for category-sensitive neural patterns shared across input-modalities and thus independent from perceptual properties. The millisecond temporal resolution of magnetoencephalography (MEG) allowed us to consider the precise timing of conceptual access and, by confronting latencies between the two modalities (“time generalization”), how latencies of processing depends on the input-modality. Our results identified category-sensitive conceptual representations common between modalities at three stages and that conceptual access for words was delayed by about 90 msec with respect to pictures. We also show that for pictures, the first conceptual pattern of activity (shared between both words and pictures) occurs as early as 110 msec. Collectively, our results indicated that conceptual access at the category-level is a multistage process and that different delays in access across these two input-modalities determine when these representations are activated.

Imaging of Müllerian duct anomalies

Background Mullerian duct anomalies (MDAs) are relatively common disorders, although the actual incidence and prevalence of these disorders are difficult to assess. Aim This work aimed to survey the role of imaging in determining the location and order of peculiarities of Mullerian conduits by various picture modalities. Patients and methods The study included 37 patients with primary amenorrhea with suspected MDAs on the basis of a preliminary ultrasound study. Patients with primary infertility, secondary infertility, or recurrent abortions were investigated for possible MDA or patients with cyclic abdominal pain referred from the Gynecology Department to the private Radiology Department in Benha and Cairo City. Results The study included 37 patients. All patients underwent pelvic ultrasound, hysterosalpingography, and pelvic MRI. Patients were further divided according to their final diagnosis by hystrosalpingography pelvic ultrasonography and pelvic MRI, which was correlated with clinical characteristics. Conclusion MRI in our study showed excellent diagnosis performance compared with hysterosalpingography and ultrasound. Recommendations Clinicians should be suspicious for Mullerian anomalies in cases of primary amenorrhea, pelvic pain, and certain adverse obstetrical outcomes.

How Children Learn to Navigate the Symbolic World of Pictures: The Importance of the Artist's Mind and Differentiating Picture Modalities.

Pictures offer a unique and essential contribution to our lives, both in terms of aesthetic pleasure and links to symbolic thought. As such, psychologists have devoted significant time to investigating how children acquire an understanding of pictures. This chapter focuses on two particular facets of this development: the role of the artist and the importance of picture modality. First, we review work that has focused on tracking children's ability to (a) map the relationship between the mental state of the artist and their pictures, and (b) incorporate such considerations into their evaluations of pictures. Drawing these literatures together provides an up-to-date account of how children acquire a mentalistic understanding of pictures. Second, we argue that a mature theory of pictures must enable children to distinguish between different picture types (e.g., photographs vs drawings), and therefore that picture modality should be incorporated into existing theoretical accounts of pictorial development.

Behavioral inhibition in children with learning disabilities

Children with reading disabilities (RD, n=17), mathematical disabilities (MD, n=22), combined reading and mathematical disabilities (RD+MD, n=28) and control peers (n=45) were tested on behavioral inhibition with a Go/no-go task in a picture, letter and digit-modality. In contrast to children without RD, children with RD made significantly more commission errors on alphanumeric (letter and digit) modalities compared to the non-alphanumeric picture modality. As compared to children without MD, children with MD made as much commission errors on the picture modality as on the letter modality. No significant interaction-effect was found between RD and MD. These results can be considered as evidence for behavioral inhibition deficits related to alphanumeric stimuli in children with RD but not in children with MD.
