Novel Method

In this paper, a novel method from the feature — porno-sounds recognition — point of view is proposed to detect adult video sequences automatically which may serve as a verification step, a supplementary method or an independent detector. To the specificity of erotic sound, its feature analysis is given. Based on the popular features, histograms and contours are introduced as new sets of features. At the same time due to the complexity of outside data, a general framework called in-class clustering is proposed which selects the most representative subclass for training and classification. All these efforts increase the recall rate and decrease the false positive rate. Experiments on real data from the Internet indicate that the proposed method yields superior performance with 89.17% recall rate and 10.78% false positive rate being achieved.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the early outcome of an organised mammography screening programme in an area with little opportunistic screening. SETTING: The municipality of Copenhagen, Denmark, during four invitation rounds 1991–99. METHODS: The following outcome measures were used: rates of participation, recall, false positive, and cancer detection. Benign biopsy, distribution of tumour size, lymph node status, and malignancy grade. RESULTS: A total of 106 933 screens were undertaken, and 824 invasive breast carcinomas or CIS were detected. The detection rate was 11.9 per 1000 participants in the first invitation round, and it continued to be high in subsequent rounds. The percentage of CIS cases was 11%. Coverage declined from 71% in the first round to 62% in the fourth, although 91% of those participating in the previous three rounds attended. The programme operated with a high recall rate. The false positive rate was also high, being 5.6% at first screen, and 1.8% later on. However, 90% of false positives were sorted out already at assessment. The percentage of screen detected invasive breast cancers with a tumour diameter ≤10 mm was 39% compared with 16% of all invasive breast cancers in these age groups in Copenhagen before screening. CONCLUSION: Copenhagen is an area with a high incidence of breast cancer and with relatively little opportunistic screening. The start of a screening programme with a high recall rate in this area resulted in a detection rate above 1%. The Copenhagen programme met or exceeded most of the interim measures recommended in the European Guidelines.

Abstract. Animates are better remembered than inanimates. According to the adaptive view of human memory ( Nairne, 2010 ; Nairne & Pandeirada, 2010a , 2010b ), this observation results from the fact that animates are more important for survival than inanimates. This ultimate explanation of animacy effects has to be complemented by proximate explanations. Moreover, animacy currently represents an uncontrolled word characteristic in most cognitive research ( VanArsdall, Nairne, Pandeirada, & Cogdill, 2015 ). In four studies, we therefore investigated the “how” of animacy effects. Study 1 revealed that words denoting animates were recalled better than those referring to inanimates in an intentional memory task. Study 2 revealed that adding a concurrent memory load when processing words for the animacy dimension did not impede the animacy effect on recall rates. Study 3A was an exact replication of Study 2 and Study 3B used a higher concurrent memory load. In these two follow-up studies, animacy effects on recall performance were again not altered by a concurrent memory load. Finally, Study 4 showed that using interactive imagery to encode animate and inanimate words did not alter the recall rate of animate words but did increase the recall of inanimate words. Taken together, the findings suggest that imagery processes contribute to these effects.
