  • Bilingual Distributed Word Representations from Document-Aligned Comparable Data
    Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research 55 (2016) 953-994 Submitted 09/15; published 04/16 Bilingual Distributed Word Representations from Document-Aligned Comparable Data Ivan Vuli´c [email protected] University of Cambridge Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics 9 West Road, CB3 9DP, Cambridge, UK Marie-Francine Moens [email protected] KU Leuven Department of Computer Science Celestijnenlaan 200A, 3001 Heverlee, Belgium Abstract We propose a new model for learning bilingual word representations from non-parallel document-aligned data. Following the recent advances in word representation learning, our model learns dense real-valued word vectors, that is, bilingual word embeddings (BWEs). Unlike prior work on inducing BWEs which heavily relied on parallel sentence-aligned cor- pora and/or readily available translation resources such as dictionaries, the article reveals that BWEs may be learned solely on the basis of document-aligned comparable data with- out any additional lexical resources nor syntactic information. We present a comparison of our approach with previous state-of-the-art models for learning bilingual word repre- sentations from comparable data that rely on the framework of multilingual probabilistic topic modeling (MuPTM), as well as with distributional local context-counting models. We demonstrate the utility of the induced BWEs in two semantic tasks: (1) bilingual lexicon extraction, (2) suggesting word translations in context for polysemous words. Our simple yet effective BWE-based models significantly outperform the MuPTM-based and context- counting representation models from comparable data as well as prior BWE-based models, and acquire the best reported results on both tasks for all three tested language pairs.

Minneman 1 Ginger Minneman Final Project Essay MA in Humanities candidate Francis Poulenc and Surrealism I. Introduction While it is true that surrealism was first and foremost a literary movement with strong ties to the world of art, and not usually applied to musicians, I believe the composer Francis Poulenc was so strongly influenced by this movement, that he could be considered a surrealist, in the same way that Debussy is regarded as an impressionist and Schönberg an expressionist; especially given that the artistic movement in the other two cases is a loose fit at best and does not apply to the entirety of their output. In this essay, which served as the basis for my lecture recital, I will examine some of the basic ideals of surrealism and show how Francis Poulenc embodies and embraces surrealist ideals in his persona, his music, his choice of texts and his compositional methods, or lack thereof.

  • CUBISM and ABSTRACTION Background
    015_Cubism_Abstraction.doc READINGS: CUBISM AND ABSTRACTION Background: Apollinaire, On Painting Apollinaire, Various Poems Background: Magdalena Dabrowski, "Kandinsky: Compositions" Kandinsky, Concerning the Spiritual in Art Background: Serial Music Background: Eugen Weber, CUBISM, Movements, Currents, Trends, p. 254. As part of the great campaign to break through to reality and express essentials, Paul Cezanne had developed a technique of painting in almost geometrical terms and concluded that the painter "must see in nature the cylinder, the sphere, the cone:" At the same time, the influence of African sculpture on a group of young painters and poets living in Montmartre - Picasso, Braque, Max Jacob, Apollinaire, Derain, and Andre Salmon - suggested the possibilities of simplification or schematization as a means of pointing out essential features at the expense of insignificant ones. Both Cezanne and the Africans indicated the possibility of abstracting certain qualities of the subject, using lines and planes for the purpose of emphasis. But if a subject could be analyzed into a series of significant features, it became possible (and this was the great discovery of Cubist painters) to leave the laws of perspective behind and rearrange these features in order to gain a fuller, more thorough, view of the subject. The painter could view the subject from all sides and attempt to present its various aspects all at the same time, just as they existed-simultaneously. We have here an attempt to capture yet another aspect of reality by fusing time and space in their representation as they are fused in life, but since the medium is still flat the Cubists introduced what they called a new dimension-movement.

Old( ' he centenary of Stkphane Mallarmk's death (1898-1998) not only provides the occasion for this article and for many other publications and colloquia, but is also an appropriate moment to reflect on the afterlife of a poet who was haunted by a spectral conception of the future and for whom the pristine survival of his work was an obsessive concern. In this, Mallarmi was like other writers in kind but not in degree. He pushed a preoccupation with the future to become one the major themes of his poetry: the future seen as a distinctly literary event, at once in the poem and yet beyond it, as though the completion of the poem, the "death of the poet, in effect marked the future.

  • Cubists and Futurists” by Daniel Robbins, 1961
    Guggenheim Museum Archives Reel-to-Reel collection “Cubists and Futurists” by Daniel Robbins, 1961 DANIEL ROBBINS [00:00:00] Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the seventh and next-to-last lecture in this series. This afternoon, our subject is so vast and so complex, that I cannot pretend to do justice to it. I think I’ll cover substantially the same material next Thursday. [00:01:00] cubism and futurism have been the keywords of Modern painting for 50 years. cubism certainly the most influential and important movement at the beginning of our century, and futurism, that movement which, with its word and with its several manifestos, successfully captured the imagination of the public. For example, when the post-impressionist paintings and the cubist paintings and the futurist paintings came to America in 1913 for the Great Armory Show, almost the entire exhibition was referred to in flaming front page articles as “futurist work.” It was both a term of derision and a term of praise, depending on what [00:02:00] side of the issues one stood. What I propose to do this afternoon is to give a rather traditional run-through and analysis of cubism. It’s by no means the whole story. I propose to do likewise for futurism, and at the very end of my lecture, to suggest a few of the more complicated points that arise and which I hope I’ll be able to deal with next time. Let’s begin by looking at a kind of work we’ve seen before: a Picasso of 1902.

Avant-garde visual artists of this period were testing the dimensional limits of their arts by experimenting with perspective and concepts of space and time. In accordance with these artists, Varèse tested the dimensional limits of his music through experimentation with the concept of musical space and the projection of sounds into such space. Varèse composed Intégrales (1925) with these goals in mind after extended contact with artists from the Arensberg circle. Although more scholars are looking into Varèse’s artistic affiliations for insight into his compositional approach, to date my research has uncovered no detailed comparisons between specific visual works of art and the composer’s Intégrales.
