Face Management and Negative Strengthening

2021
Negated gradable adjectives often convey an interpretation that is stronger than their literal meaning, which is referred to as ‘negative strengthening.’ For example, a sentence like ‘John is not kind’ may give rise to the inference that John is rather mean.

Non-negative Matrix Factorization for Face Recognition

2002
The computer vision problem of face classification under several ambient and unfavorable conditions is considered in this study. Changes in expression, different lighting conditions and occlusions are the relevant factors that are studied in this present contribution.

Topology Preserving Non-negative Matrix Factorization for Face Recognition

IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2008
In this paper, a novel topology preserving non-negative matrix factorization (TPNMF) method is proposed for face recognition. We derive the TPNMF model from original NMF algorithm by preserving local topology structure. The TPNMF is based on minimizing the constraint gradient distance in the high-dimensional space.

Is Malaysia Facing Negative Deindustrialization?

Pacific Affairs, 2011
This paper seeks to examine whether Malaysia is facing negative deindustrialization by examining value-added, trade and productivity trends over the period 1990-2005. The evidence produced in the paper is concrete enough to confirm that Malaysia is facing negative deindustrialization. While it is typical, as part of the process of structural change, to

Fast Non-Negative Matrix Factorizations for Face Recognition

International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence, 2017
Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF), as a promising image-data representation approach, encounters the problems of slow convergence and weak classification ability. To overcome these limitations, this paper, based on different error measurements, proposes two kinds of NMF algorithms with fast gradient descent and high discriminant performance.

The influence of positive and negative facial expressions on face familiarity

Memory, 2007
Recent studies have shown that smiling faces are judged as more familiar than those showing a neutral expression (Baudouin, Gilibert, Sansone, & Tiberghien, 2000). Here we compare judged familiarity of unknown and famous faces when displaying a positive, neutral, or negative expression.

Non-negative Compatible Kernel Construction for Face Recognition

2015
The existing Kernel Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (KNMF) cannot ensure the non-negativity of the mapped data in the kernel feature space. This is called the nonnegative in-compatible problem of KNMF. To tackle this problem, this paper presents a new methodology to construct Nonnegative Compatible Kernel (NC-Kernel) for face recognition.

The two faces of Cdk8, a positive/negative regulator of transcription

Biochimie, 2014
Three cyclin dependent kinases, Cdk7, Cdk8 and Cdk9 are intimately connected with the processes of RNA polymerase II dependent transcription initiation and elongation in eukaryotic cells. Each of these kinases is part of a larger multisubunit complex, TFIIH, Mediator and p-TEFb respectively.

Facing the Boundaries of Epistemology: Kumārila on Error and Negative Cognition

Journal of Indian Philosophy, 2009
Kumārila’s commitment to the explanation of cognitive experiences not confined to valid cognition alone, allows a detailed discussion of border-line cases (such as doubt and error) and the admittance of absent entities as separate instances of cognitive objects. Are such absent entities only the negative side of positive entities?
