Automatic social distance estimation for photographic studies: Performance evaluation, test benchmark, and algorithm
2022
The social distancing regulations introduced to slow down the spread of COVID-19 virus directly affect a basic form of non-verbal communication, and there may be longer term impacts on human behavior and culture that remain to be analyzed in proxemics studies. To obtain quantitative results for such studies, large media and/or personal photo collections must be analyzed. Several social distance monitoring methods have been proposed for safety purposes, but they are not directly applicable to general photo collections with large variations in the imaging setup. In such studies, the interest shifts from safety to analyzing subtle differences in social distances. Currently, there is no suitabl…
Zero-shot Semantic Segmentation using Relation Network
2021
Zero-shot learning (ZSL) is widely studied in recent years to solve the problem of lacking annotations. Currently, most studies on ZSL are for image classification and object detection. But, zero-shot semantic segmentation, pixel level classification, is still at its early stage. Therefore, this work proposes to extend a zero-shot image classification model, Relation Network (RN), to semantic segmentation tasks. We modified the structure of RN based on other state-of-the-arts semantic segmentation models (i.e. U-Net and DeepLab) and utilizes word embeddings from Caltech-UCSD Birds 200-2011 attributes and natural language processing models (i.e. word2vec and fastText). Because meta-learning …
Engaging with film characters : Empirical study on the reception of characters in The Hobbit films
2017
Characters are important for the audience reception of films, but little empirical research on actual audiences has been conducted on the topic of character reception. Are characters important for all audiences, and if not, what are the possible reasons and implications? How do audiences construct their engagement with characters? I argue that in addition to elements in Murray Smith’s classic model, structure of sympathy, other elements should be included when studying character engagement. This article presents an empirical study on the reception of characters using the Nordic responses (4,879 total) drawn from the global audience survey on The Hobbit fantasy film trilogy (Jackson, An Unex…

HUMAN MILK IS NOT “MERELY NUTRITIOUS”: HOW ITS BIOACTIVE ROLE CAN INFLUENCE CHILD HEALTH
2021
Maternal milk represents the best food for the newborn, providing specific physiologic advantages over the other sources of nutrition. It also contains many hundreds to thousands of bioactive molecules that protect against infection (i.e. IgA), inflammation (i.e. 5-methylthioadenosine) and contribute to eliciting strong immune responses in breastfed children (i.e. allergens or viral antigens). Quality and quantity of breast milk components may influence the development of infant body composition in the first years of life; in particular, it has been shown that a different composition of human oligosaccharides (HMOs) in overweight/obese women’s human milk can be correlated with her offspring…
Sanahahmohuulion alan levittäytymisestä suomalaisessa viittomakielessä
2015
Huuliot ovat olennainen osa viitottujen kielten ei-manuaalista artikulaatiota, ja suun liikkeillä nähdään useita tehtäviä foneettisesta tasosta aina prosodisiin funktioihin asti. Tarkastelen tässä maisterintutkielmassa ilmiötä, jossa suomalaisen viittomakielen (SVK) sanahahmoksi tai sen osaksi tulkitun huulion ala levittäytyy viereisiin manuaalisiin osiin. Selvitän sanahahmohuulioiden esiintymisfrekvenssiä, levittäytymisen suuntaa ja ulottuvuutta sekä sitä, millaisiin elementteihin levittäytymistä tapahtuu. Tutkielma toteutetaan analysoimalla kahta aineistoa: Jyväskylän yliopiston Viittomakielen keskuksen korpusprojektissa kerättyä keskusteluaineistoa ja Kuurojen Liitto ry:n tuottamaa haast…
