The Setan Jawa film depicts the two main characters' fascinating and expressive body language and motions (Setio and Asih). Accordingly, we formulate the research problem of the Setan Jawa film’s metaphor values. This study uses the metaphorical approach to search for the meanings of the film by analyzing the source and target domains. Our findings indicate that Setan Jawa encompasses both the romance source domain and the tragedy target domain. In sum, Setan Jawa is a film about perseverance, courage, intention, self-sacrifice, and ambition.

This research is aimed to figure out the syntactic structure of Balinese proverbs, the relation of meaning between the name of the animals and the meaning of the proverbs, and how the meanings are constructed in logical dimension. This research belongs to a qualitative as the data of this research are qualitative data which taken from a book entitled Basita Paribahasa written by Simpen (1993) and a book of Balinese short story written by Sewamara (1977). The analysis shows that the use of concept of animals in Balinese proverbs reveal similar characteristics, whether their form, their nature, and their condition. Moreover, the cognitive processes which happen in resulting the proverb is by conceptualizing the experience which is felt by the body, the nature, and the characteristic which owned by the target with the purpose of describing event or experience by the speech community of Balinese. Analogically, the similarity of characteristic in the form of shape of source domain can be proved visually, while the characteristic of the nature and the condition can be proved through bodily and empirical experiences. Ecolinguistics parameters are used to construct of Balinese proverbs which happen due to cross mapping process. It is caused by the presence of close characteristic or biological characteristic which is owned by the source domain and target domain, especially between Balinese with animal which then are verbally recorded and further patterned in ideological, biological, and sociological dimensions.

Domain adaptation aims to solve the problems of lacking labels. Most existing works of domain adaptation mainly focus on aligning the feature distributions between the source and target domain. However, in the field of Natural Language Processing, some of the words in different domains convey different sentiment. Thus not all features of the source domain should be transferred, and it would cause negative transfer when aligning the untransferable features. To address this issue, we propose a Correlation Alignment with Attention mechanism for unsupervised Domain Adaptation (CAADA) model. In the model, an attention mechanism is introduced into the transfer process for domain adaptation, which can capture the positively transferable features in source and target domain. Moreover, the CORrelation ALignment (CORAL) loss is utilized to minimize the domain discrepancy by aligning the second-order statistics of the positively transferable features extracted by the attention mechanism. Extensive experiments on the Amazon review dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of CAADA method.

Abstract People from different languages draw from the knowledge they have from the domain of heat (source domain) and apply it to the domain of anger (target domain) through metaphor. This was also found to be the case with Amharic and Changana. Our study investigates how anger is metaphorically conceptualized in these two languages. Many similarities were found even though variations do exist cross-linguistically. It is suggested that the similarities between these languages in conceptualizing anger lie in the fact that human beings share the same bodily experience: (physiology) embodiment, even though variations may arise due to the differences in cultural embodiment (race, values and geographical localization, etc). The study seeks to demonstrate how these two dimensions contribute to the overall conceptual structure of anger is heat metaphor in these two (unrelated) African languages.

WiFi-based Device-free Passive (DfP) indoor localization systems liberate their users from carrying dedicated sensors or smartphones, and thus provide a non-intrusive and pleasant experience. Although existing fingerprint-based systems achieve sub-meter-level localization accuracy by training location classifiers/regressors on WiFi signal fingerprints, they are usually vulnerable to small variations in an environment. A daily change, e.g., displacement of a chair, may cause a big inconsistency between the recorded fingerprints and the real-time signals, leading to significant localization errors. In this paper, we introduce a Domain Adaptation WiFi (DAFI) localization approach to address the problem. DAFI formulates this fingerprint inconsistency issue as a domain adaptation problem, where the original environment is the source domain and the changed environment is the target domain. Directly applying existing domain adaptation methods to our specific problem is challenging, since it is generally hard to distinguish the variations in the different WiFi domains (i.e., signal changes caused by different environmental variations). DAFI embraces the following techniques to tackle this challenge. 1) DAFI aligns both marginal and conditional distributions of features in different domains. 2) Inside the target domain, DAFI squeezes the marginal distribution of every class to be more concentrated at its center. 3) Between two domains, DAFI conducts fine-grained alignment by forcing every target-domain class to better align with its source-domain counterpart. By doing these, DAFI outperforms the state of the art by up to 14.2% in real-world experiments.

In mechanical fault diagnosis, it is impossible to collect massive labeled samples with the same distribution in real industry. Transfer learning, a promising method, is usually used to address the critical problem. However, as the number of samples increases, the interdomain distribution discrepancy measurement of the existing method has a higher computational complexity, which may make the generalization ability of the method worse. To solve the problem, we propose a deep transfer learning method based on 1D-CNN for rolling bearing fault diagnosis. First, 1-dimension convolutional neural network (1D-CNN), as the basic framework, is used to extract features from vibration signal. The CORrelation ALignment (CORAL) is employed to minimize marginal distribution discrepancy between the source domain and target domain. Then, the cross-entropy loss function and Adam optimizer are used to minimize the classification errors and the second-order statistics of feature distance between the source domain and target domain, respectively. Finally, based on the bearing datasets of Case Western Reserve University and Jiangnan University, seven transfer fault diagnosis comparison experiments are carried out. The results show that our method has better performance.

This paper adopts the notion of metaphostruction (Wiliński 2015), the conceptual theory of metaphor (Kӧvecses 2002) and the corpus-based method geared specifically for investigating the interaction between target domains and the source domain lexemes that occur in them. The method, referred to as metaphostructional analysis (Wiliński 2015), is used to determine the degree of association between the target domain of business and the source domain lexemes derived from military terminology. The results of the metaphostructional analysis reveal that there are indeed war terms that demonstrate strong or loose associations with the target domain of business, and that these instantiate different metaphorical mappings.

This article discusses hyperbolic markers in modeling hyperbole from the perspective of a scenario-based account of language use within the framework of Cognitive Linguistics. In this view, hyperbole is seen as a mapping across two conceptual domains (Peña y Ruiz de Mendoza, 2017), a source domain, here relabeled as the magnified scenario, which contains a hypothetical unrealistic situation based on exaggeration, and a target domain or observable scenario which depicts the real situation addressed by the hyperbolic expression. Since the hypothetical scenario is a magnified version of the observable scenario, the mapping contains source-target matches in varying degrees of resemblance. Within this theoretical context, the article explores resources available to speakers for the construction of magnified scenarios leading to hyperbolic interpretation. Among such resources, we find hyperbole markers and the setting up of domains of reference. Finally, the article also discusses hyperbole blockers, which cancel out the activity of the other hyperbolic meaning construction mechanisms.

This study aimed to discuss the names of judgment day in the Qur'an through cognitive semantic approach and the values of spiritual education. Through the cognitive semantic approach, the conception of meaning to describe the judgment day in the Qur’an was formulated by mapping the meaning resulted from the source domain (Sd) to target domain (Sd). To show and compare references in (Sd) to (Td), referential technique was used. From organizing (Sd) to (Td) on metaphorical expressions which showed the judgment day in the Qur'an, the conceptions of the meaning of state, time, movement, and change were generated. The studies on the names of judgment day in the Qur'an influence the value of moral education, which is able to increase faith in God, observe nature and its big symptoms, create good character between God and man, and believe in God’s noble character.

Domain adaptation (DA) has achieved a resounding success to learn a good classifier by leveraging labeled data from a source domain to adapt to an unlabeled target domain. However, in a general setting when the target domain contains classes that are never observed in the source domain, namely in Open Set Domain Adaptation (OSDA), existing DA methods failed to work because of the interference of the extra unknown classes. This is a much more challenging problem, since it can easily result in negative transfer due to the mismatch between the unknown and known classes. Existing researches are susceptible to misclassification when target domain unknown samples in the feature space distributed near the decision boundary learned from the labeled source domain. To overcome this, we propose Joint Partial Optimal Transport (JPOT), fully utilizing information of not only the labeled source domain but also the discriminative representation of unknown class in the target domain. The proposed joint discriminative prototypical compactness loss can not only achieve intra-class compactness and inter-class separability, but also estimate the mean and variance of the unknown class through backpropagation, which remains intractable for previous methods due to the blindness about the structure of the unknown classes. To our best knowledge, this is the first optimal transport model for OSDA. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed model can significantly boost the performance of open set domain adaptation on standard DA datasets.

Adopting a data based approach, the study explores Russian intensifying metaphors of COMPLETENESS. A wide range of instantiations of the metaphor of COMPLETENESS is analyzed within the framework of Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff & Johnson 1980), comprising achievement of a result (soveršennyj idiot), filled container (nabityj durak) and round form (kruglyj otličnik). The contrastive perspective (Russian-English-Italian) provides new insights on the mapping of the source domain of COMPLETENESS onto the target domain of INTENSITY in different languages and cultures.
