Profiling School Shooters: Automatic Text-Based Analysis
School shooters present a challenge to both forensic psychiatry and law enforcement agencies. The relatively small number of school shooters, their various characteristics, and the lack of in-depth analysis of all of the shooters prior to the shooting add complexity to our understanding of this problem. In this short paper, we introduce a new methodology for automatically profiling school shooters. The methodology involves automatic analysis of t…
Opposition theory and computational semiotics
Opposition theory suggests that binary oppositions (e.g., high vs. low) underlie basic cognitive and linguistic processes. However, opposition theory has never been implemented in a computational cognitive-semiotics model. In this paper, we present a simple model of metaphor identification that relies on opposition theory. An algorithm instantiating the model has been tested on a data set of 100 phrases comprising adjective-noun pairs in which ap…
How do we understand the meaning of connotations? A cognitive computational model
Denotation is the literal sense of a word, while connotation is its extended sense. The current paper presents a cognitive computational model of the adjective's connotation (e.g., sweet baby). We tested the model by developing a novel algorithm - ConnoSense - that identifies the sense of an attribute's connotation. More specifically, ConnoSense identifies the sense of an attribute such as in the case of a "sweet smile" where the attribute/adject…
