The validation of CID's Grammatical Analysis of Elicited Language with language delayed children

This paper examines the Central Institute for the Deaf’s "Grammatical Analysis of Elicited Language" (GAEL) test of expressive language and whether it identifies children with language disorders. Also examined is the relative difficulty of each of the grammatical categories sampled on the GAEL in relation to the standardization sample.

Evaluation of a feedback equalization algorithm in the CID Wearable Digital Hearing Aid

This paper describes the results of an investigation which examined the efficacy of a feedback equalization algorithm incorporated into the Central Institute for the Deaf Wearable Digital Hearing Aid. The study examined whether the feedback equalization would allow for greater usable gains when subjects listened to soft speech signals, and if so, whether or not this would improve speech intelligibility.

The effect of the handwriting without tears program on student cursive writing achievement at Central Institute for the Deaf (CID)

Handwriting Without Tears (HWT) is a multi-sensory program that provides a simpler approach to the instruction of cursive handwriting. It was administered to a sample of third graders to assess the effectiveness of the program and determine if it would be a viable option for handwriting instruction at CID.

CID: an efficient complexity-invariant distance for time series

The ubiquity of time series data across almost all human endeavors has produced a great interest in time series data mining in the last decade. While dozens of classification algorithms have been applied to time series, recent empirical evidence strongly suggests that simple nearest neighbor classification is exceptionally difficult to beat. The choice of distance measure used by the nearest neighbor algorithm is important, and depends on the invariances required by the domain. For example, motion capture data typically requires invariance to warping, and cardiology data requires invariance to the baseline (the mean value). Similarly, recent work suggests that for time series clustering, the choice of clustering algorithm is much less important than the choice of distance measure used.In this work we make a somewhat surprising claim. There is an invariance that the community seems to have missed, complexity invariance. Intuitively, the problem is that in many domains the different classes may have different complexities, and pairs of complex objects, even those which subjectively may seem very similar to the human eye, tend to be further apart under current distance measures than pairs of simple objects. This fact introduces errors in nearest neighbor classification, where some complex objects may be incorrectly assigned to a simpler class. Similarly, for clustering this effect can introduce errors by “suggesting” to the clustering algorithm that subjectively similar, but complex objects belong in a sparser and larger diameter cluster than is truly warranted.We introduce the first complexity-invariant distance measure for time series, and show that it generally produces significant improvements in classification and clustering accuracy. We further show that this improvement does not compromise efficiency, since we can lower bound the measure and use a modification of triangular inequality, thus making use of most existing indexing and data mining algorithms. We evaluate our ideas with the largest and most comprehensive set of time series mining experiments ever attempted in a single work, and show that complexity-invariant distance measures can produce improvements in classification and clustering in the vast majority of cases.

El uso del primer plano en El Cid : Estrategia retórica en el filme de Anthony Mann

Todo director cinematográfico construye su estética a partir de la(s) temática(s) que aborda y de toda una serie de recursos (económicos, artísticos, entre otros) que posee en el momento en que se lleva a cabo una filmación. Anthony Mann no escapa a esta regla. En 1961, filma en España El Cid, basada en la leyenda de Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, célebre personaje históricoliterario. En ese entonces, este director cuenta con la posibilidad de incluir en los roles principales a figuras consagradas de la meca del cine: Hollywood. El papel del héroe cristiano español es interpretado por Charlton Heston y el de su esposa, Jimena, por Sofia Loren. Es probable que Anthony Mann haya utilizado determinados recursos cinematográficos en el afán de destacar/aprovechar la presencia estelar de dichas figuras. Este trabajo intentará analizar el uso del primer plano en el discurso de este filme y se tratará de explicar la construcción de la estética de este director considerando, además, la expectativa del público de la época en que se produjo la realización de dicha película.

Cine de animación y Literatura : "El protagonismo de Ximena en El Cid, la leyenda de José Pozo"

Los debates en torno a las cuestiones del género es un fenómeno que está a la orden del día. La literatura, el cine y el resto de las artes son materia de análisis en lo que se refiere a este tema en dichos debates. En el texto épico medieval Poema de Mio Cid, el personaje masculino, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, tiene el rol protagónico y deja en un segundo plano a Ximena, su esposa. En la versión cinematográfica animada de José Pozo, El Cid, la leyenda (2003), la performance del papel femenino cobra otra dimensión, diametralmente opuesta al texto literario antes mencionado. Este trabajo se propone dilucidar cuáles son las razones estéticas y extra estéticas que motivan a que Ximena adquiera un rol protagónico tan notorio en este filme de animación, ganador del Premio Goya en el año 2004.
