There are several ways that users communicate in which liking and sharing images stands out. Each image shared by a user can be analyzed from aesthetic and personality traits views. In recent studies, it has been proved that personality traits impact personalized image aesthetics assessment. In this article, the same pattern was studied from a different perspective. So, we evaluated the impact of image aesthetics on personality traits to check if there is any relation between them in this form. Hence, in a two-stage architecture, we have leveraged image aesthetics to predict the personality traits of users. The first stage includes a multi-task deep learning paradigm that consists of an encoder/decoder in which the core of the network is a Swin Transformer. The second stage combines image aesthetics and personality traits with an attention mechanism for personality trait prediction. The results showed that the proposed method had achieved an average Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient (SROCC) of 0.776 in image aesthetic on the Flickr-AES database and an average SROCC of 0.6730 on the PsychoFlickr database, which outperformed related SOTA (State of the Art) studies. The average accuracy performance of the first stage was boosted by 7.02 per cent in the second stage, considering the influence of image aesthetics on personality trait prediction.","PeriodicalId":45315,"journal":{"name":"Digital Scholarship in the Humanities","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141529784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From a primarily linguistic perspective, we add to these studies in two ways. First, we provide an overview of sixty-six training datasets used in automatic image, video, and audio captioning, examining their compilation methods with a metadata analysis. Second, we delve into the annotation process of crowdsourced datasets with an interest in understanding the linguistic factors that affect the form and content of the captions, such as contextualization and perspectivation. With a qualitative content analysis, we examine annotator instructions with a selection of eleven datasets. Drawing from various theoretical frameworks that help assess the effectiveness of the instructions, we discuss the visual and textual presentation of the instructions, as well as the perspective-guidance that is an essential part of the language instructions. While our analysis indicates that some standards in the formulation of instructions seem to have formed in the field, we also identified various reoccurring issues potentially hindering readability and comprehensibility of the instructions, and therefore, caption quality. To enhance readability, we emphasize the importance of text structure, organization of the information, consistent use of typographical cues, and clarity of language use. Last, engaging with previous research, we assess the compilation of both web-sourced and crowdsourced captioning datasets from various perspectives, discussing factors affecting the diversity of the datasets.","PeriodicalId":45315,"journal":{"name":"Digital Scholarship in the Humanities","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141508991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally associated with James Anderson, using stylometry, we examine whether and, if so, where John T. Desaguliers, the prime mover of early English institutionalized Freemasonry, contributed to this publication. Our corpus includes writings by Anderson, Desaguliers, and two contemporary Freemasons used as distractors. The transcribed works contain texts from different genres and of varying lengths. In our methodology, we employ a wide range of robust, multivariate, unsupervised, and cross-validated supervised tests, verified through significance testing, which can hopefully contribute to the establishment of standards for historical authorship attribution. Our results suggest, in line with historical evidence, that the legendary history of the Constitutions was most likely primarily authored by Anderson. However, several of the Charges including the first one ‘Concerning God and religion’, one of the most disputed texts in the history of Freemasonry, are closer to the style of Desaguliers. The General Regulations concerning the organization of the lodges, hitherto attributed to George Payne, played a fundamental role in spreading Freemasonry worldwide. Our analyses show that the stylistic affinity of fifteen of the thirty-nine regulations has a pronounced closeness to Anderson’s style, five align more closely with Desaguliers’ style. The authorship of the rest remains inconclusive partly due to the insufficient length of texts by Payne. These novel findings are also supported by a close reading of the Constitutions and other contemporary primary sources.","PeriodicalId":45315,"journal":{"name":"Digital Scholarship in the Humanities","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141191219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the research is to analyse the possibilities of the main language parameters of the manipulativeness of media discourse, which can be identified using machine learning. To achieve the research goals, the following methods were used: system, content analysis, computer modelling, and comparative. The results of the article determined that such language indicators as use of the subjunctive mood of verbs, capital letters, high frequency of use of the ‘not’ particle, punctuation marks, questions, or exclamations of a rhetorical nature, use of quotation marks for the purpose of irony, double negative sentences, use of the word ‘no’, and verbal structures calling to action act as computer classification parameters. In order to cover the above purpose, PYTHON software was implemented that allowed texts to be analysed and visualized in algorithmic and lexical-vocabulary ways. In addition, it was determined that by integrating the PYTHON tool, it became possible to use language transformation markers that formed linguistic patterns in the analysed text. The list of parameters for diagnosing manipulative texts is non-exhaustive, which emphasizes the possibility of machine measurement of the manipulative component of mass media discourse.","PeriodicalId":45315,"journal":{"name":"Digital Scholarship in the Humanities","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140925420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They have been viewed by art critics as products of cultural derivativity and imperialism and commended by financial experts as low-risk business investments, closely linked to other forms of brand extension, such as sequels and bestseller adaptations. In this article, we adopt a film-historical quantitative approach to Hollywood film remakes by analysing metadata obtained from the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) and verified against reliable print and web sources. We analyse 986 Hollywood remakes produced between 1915 and 2020 in terms of raw and relative frequencies of annual releases, genre (in)stability, and patterns of transnational reproduction. We contrast our findings with those outlined by Henderson (2014a) in his statistical survey of Hollywood sequels, series films, prequels, and spin-offs, presented in his monograph The Hollywood Sequel: History and Form, 1911–2010. Having completed his list with recent sequential productions released between 2011 and 2020, we investigate the potential parallels between Hollywood remaking and sequelization practices. Our findings demonstrate historical discrepancies in various ‘content recycling’ trends, which help better characterize the cultural and commercial significance of remakes and serial forms in the American film industry.","PeriodicalId":45315,"journal":{"name":"Digital Scholarship in the Humanities","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140829422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several hypotheses for explaining segregation are considered using spatial analysis. The spatial data are derived from historical maps and demographic data from various tax records. Socioeconomic segregation is studied as a possible cause of ethnic segregation. The main drivers of spatial segregation were the explicit policies of segregation enforced by both the Russian military administration and the town’s civilian administration. While the effects of segregation gradually diminished due to social diffusion, the impact of policy decisions driving segregation in the 18th and early 19th centuries was still visible in the population’s later 19th-century segregation. Yet neither the different preferences of Russians and others nor the income differences between areas explains the distribution of Russians. Segregation based on the membership of a guild was insignificant, with a few exceptions. Other factors such as discrimination, prejudice, and differences in housing market information probably contributed to segregation, but they cannot be studied with the data used.","PeriodicalId":45315,"journal":{"name":"Digital Scholarship in the Humanities","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140809236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To work with images from other historical periods requires expert annotated data, and the quality of labels is crucial for the quality of results. Especially when working with cultural heritage collections that contain myriad uncertainties, annotating data, or re-annotating, legacy data is an arduous task. In this paper, we describe working with two pre-annotated sets of medieval manuscript images that exhibit conflicting and overlapping metadata. Since a manual reconciliation of the two legacy ontologies would be very expensive, we aim (1) to create a more uniform set of descriptive labels to serve as a “bridge” in the combined dataset, and (2) to establish a high-quality hierarchical classification that can be used as a valuable input for subsequent supervised machine learning. To achieve these goals, we developed visualization and interaction mechanisms, enabling medievalists to combine, regularize and extend the vocabulary used to describe these, and other cognate, image datasets. The visual interfaces provide experts an overview of relationships in the data going beyond the sum total of the metadata. Word and image embeddings as well as co-occurrences of labels across the datasets enable batch re-annotation of images, recommendation of label candidates, and support composing a hierarchical classification of labels.","PeriodicalId":45315,"journal":{"name":"Digital Scholarship in the Humanities","volume":"2015 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140801375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
