Contextual Knowledge Ascriptions and Non-Contextual Knowledge
In this paper I pair a contextualist theory of knowledge ascriptions with a non-contextual definition of knowledge, specifically the principle that knowledge is infallible belief. This combination is unusual because proponents of contextualism, understood as a semantic thesis, either do not engage …

'Contextual variations'
It is the intention of this thesis to present not only a visual exploration of a design problem, but also to discuss the obviously dialectic relation of the two for me essential basic elements of architecture: type and topos. My architecture education has been shaped in different countries, through …

Contextual mobile adaptation
Ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) involves systems that attempt to fit in with users’ context and interaction. Researchers agree that system adaptation is a key issue in ubicomp because it can be hard to predict changes in contexts, needs and uses. Even with the best planning, it is impossible to …

Contextual text mining
… Text is generally associated with all kinds of contextual information. Those contexts can be explicit, such as the time and the location where a blog article is written, and the author(s) of a biomedical publication, or implicit, such as the positive or negative sentiment that an author had when …

Contextual topics: advancing text segmentation through pre-trained models and contextual keywords
Text Segmentation (TS) is a Natural Language Processing based task that is aimed to divide paragraphs and bodies of text into topical, semantically aligned blocks of text. This can play an important role in creating structured, searchable text-based representations after digitizing paper-based …

Contextual Fit in ABA Practice: Utilizing a Contextual Fit Tool to Achieve Social Validity
… social validity since the 1970s. Conjunctively, contextual fit has been utilized in home and school settings to make interventions viable and sustainable for those implementing them within diverse settings. A sizable portion of ABA practice typically involves providing services within home …

Contextual Control of Perceptual Behavior
This paper offers an experimental analysis of changes in perception. In doing so, the relative flexibility of a person's perception of color as a product of interacting with other colors will be demonstrated through a matching procedure in a training and testing methodology. The analysis focuses on …

Addressing misspecification in contextual optimization
We study the predict-then-optimize framework approach, which combines machine learning and a downstream optimization task. This approach entails forecasting unknown parameters of an optimization problem and then resolving the optimization task based on these predictions. For example, consider an …

Contextual Predictability and Phonetic Reduction
… of reduction of a word is influenced by the contextual predictability of words in the context. However, the nature of how the context direction and size governs phonetic reduction has not been thoroughly explored. The advancement of self-supervised language models provides a means to assign …

Architectural conventions and contextual cognition
… architectural environments and their concordant contextual understandings, is not intended to provide new and revolutionary discoveries of this realm; merely critically-characterize its apparent manifestations. The method of this investigation asserts 'positional' understandings of this realm, …

Wearable computing and contextual awareness
… traditional applications are augmented by the contextual information recovered by these systems. To investigate these issues, I provide perceptually sensible tools for recovering and modeling user context in a mobile, everyday environment. These tools include a downward-facing, camera-based …

Contextual biometric watermarking of fingerprint images
This research presents contextual digital watermarking techniques using face and demographic text data as multiple watermarks for protecting the evidentiary integrity of fingerprint image. The proposed techniques embed the watermarks into selected regions of fingerprint image in MDCT and DWT …

Childhood Fire-Setting: A Contextual Understanding
Previous research on fire-setting has been either totally theoretical or has been based on limited contact with individuals who set the fires. This dissertation accessed fire-setting through interviews with three male adults who set fires as children. Background information was acquired from the …
