Pseudo‐Haptic Feedback: Multi‐Modal Approaches to Stiffness Perception and User Experience

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Can visual deformation substitute for physical haptic feedback? In immersive VR, deformation‐based pseudo‐haptics enables stiffness discrimination comparable to wearable force feedback, while their combination yields the highest performance and presence without increasing workload.

On the Role of Preprocessing and Memristor Dynamics in Reservoir Computing for Image Classification

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reservoir computing (RC) is an emerging recurrent neural network architecture that has attracted growing attention for its low training cost and modest hardware requirements. Memristor‐based circuits are particularly promising for RC, as their intrinsic dynamics can reduce network size and parameter overhead in tasks such as time‐series ...

Being neighbourly: Neural metaphor identification in discourse [PDF]

Proceedings of the Second Workshop on Figurative Language Processing, 2020
Existing approaches to metaphor processing typically rely on local features, such as immediate lexico-syntactic contexts or information within a given sentence. However, a large body of corpus-linguistic research suggests that situational information and broader discourse properties influence metaphor production and comprehension.

Leprosy and the elusive M. leprae: colonial and imperial medical exchanges in the nineteenth century [PDF]

História, Ciências, Saúde: Manguinhos, 2003
In the 1800s, humoral understandings of leprosy successively give way to disease models based on morbid anatomy, physiopathology, and bacteriology. Linkages between these disease models were reinforced by the ubiquitous seed/soil metaphor deployed both ...
