Computer Interactions

Emotion recognition in conversations is crucial as there is an urgent need to improve the overall experience of human-computer interactions. A promising improvement in this field is to develop a model that can effectively extract adequate contexts of a test utterance. We introduce a novel model, termed hierarchical memory networks (HMN), to address the issues of recognizing utterance level emotions. HMN divides the contexts into different aspects and employs different step lengths to represent the weights of these aspects. To model the self dependencies, HMN takes independent local memory networks to model these aspects. Further, to capture the interpersonal dependencies, HMN employs global memory networks to integrate the local outputs into global storages. Such storages can generate contextual summaries and help to find the emotional dependent utterance that is most relevant to the test utterance. With an attention-based multi-hops scheme, these storages are then merged with the test utterance using an addition operation in the iterations. Experiments on the IEMOCAP dataset show our model outperforms the compared methods with accuracy improvement.

Abstract After the occupation of Crimea and the conflict in Eastern Ukraine, many people were forced to leave their homes and look for a new place to live. The cultural context, memories, narratives, including the scarcely built identity of artificially made sites like those from Donbas (Donetsk and Luhansk regions) and the multicultural identity of Crimea, were all destroyed and left behind. Among the people who left their roots and moved away were many artists, who naturally fell into two groups-the ones who wanted to remember and the ones who wanted to forget. The aim of this paper is to analyse the ways in which the local memory of those lost places is represented in the works of Ukrainian artists from the conflict territories, who were forced to change their dwelling- place. The main idea is to show how losing the memory of places, objects, sounds, etc. affects the continuity of personal history.

Public Imagination

On 28 October 1918, a group of Czech nationalists stood on the steps of the Obecni Dům (Municipal House) in Prague and proclaimed their independence from the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, allying themselves with the new state of Czechoslovakia. Their declaration marked the beginning of a new era in the Czech lands, one in which Czechs, as the majority nation, hoped to redefine the terms of political discourse. The new Czechoslovak Republic, its Czech supporters declared, would be the antithesis of the Habsburg regime. In the place of a multinational Monarchy, they would erect a democratic nation-state. The second half of this political vision was complicated by the fact that the new Czechoslovakia actually contained many ethnic groups, but Czechs still tended to imagine their new Republic as the political expression of the Czech nation. At the same time, this “Czech-centered” politics also emphasized the democratic basis of the new country. Czechoslovakia, Czech leaders said, would be a state governed by its people and dedicated to protecting their rights and freedoms as individuals. A political culture that rested on both ethnic nationalism and democratic values obviously contained some internal tensions: the need to protect the interests of one specific nation and the duty to protect the individual rights of all citizens could rub uncomfortably against each other. Yet, at that moment in 1918, most Czechs failed to register this potential for ideological conflict, instead seeing an essential link between democratic politics and the good of the Czech nation. For many Czechs, democracy itself was a need of the nation, a political structure crucial to Czech national self-realization. This idea came from one prominent conception of Czech nationhood that had captured the public imagination in the fall of 1918. According to this strain of Czech national ideology, the Czech nation had a sort of democratic character. This meant that only an egalitarian, democratic government would suit a “Czech” state. So, paradoxically, a universal language of rights and freedoms was the key to building a truly national Czechoslovak Republic. It was with a state that emphasized equality and personal freedom that the Czechs would fulfill their national destiny.

Cache Miss

Traditional network processors (NPs) adopt either local memory mechanism or cache mechanism as the hierarchical memory structure. The local memory mechanism usually has small on-chip memory space which is not fit for the various complicated applications. The cache mechanism is better at dealing with the temporary data which need to be read and written frequently. But in deep packet processing, cache miss occurs when reading each segment of packet. We propose a cooperative mechanism of local memory and cache. In which the packet data and temporary data are stored into local memory and cache respectively. The analysis and experimental evaluation shows that the cooperative mechanism can improve the performance of network processors and reduce processing latency with little extra resources cost.
