Frame Semantics includes context as a central aspect of the theory. Frames themselves can be regarded as a representation of the immediate context against which meaning is to be construed. Moreover, the notion of frame invocation includes context as one possible source of information comprehenders use to construe meaning. As the original implementa...

Multimodal aspects of human communication are key in several applications of Natural Language Processing, such as Machine Translation and Natural Language Generation. Despite recent advances in integrating multimodality into Computational Linguistics, the merge between NLP and Computer Vision techniques is still timid, especially when it comes to p...

Multimodal analyses have been growing in importance for several approaches to both Cognitive Linguistics and Natural Language Understanding. Multimodal corpora have been annotated for correlations involving mainly gesture communication and text data and computational infrastructure for dealing with large multimodal corpora have been under developme...

When people decide to travel, they need information to plan their tourism activities. There is a lot of information available online in several types of semioses, but it is humanly impossible to access and categorize all this information. Based on that, we aim to build a common semantic representation for both textual and imagetic information that...

Multimodal analyses have been growing in importance within several approaches to Cognitive Linguistics and applied fields such as Natural Language Understanding. Nonetheless fine-grained semantic representations of multimodal objects are still lacking, especially in terms of integrating areas such as Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision,...

This paper presents Lutma, a collaborative, semi-constrained, tutorial-based tool for contributing frames and lexical units to the Global FrameNet initiative. The tool parameterizes the process of frame creation, avoiding consistency violations and promoting the integration of frames contributed by the community with existing frames. Lutma is struc...

This paper presents Charon, a web tool for annotating multimodal corpora with FrameNet categories. Annotation can be made for corpora containing both static images and video sequences paired - or not - with text sequences. The pipeline features, besides the annotation interface, corpus import and pre-processing tools.

This paper argues in favor of the adoption of annotation practices for multimodal datasets that recognize and represent the inherently perspectivized nature of multimodal communication. To support our claim, we present a set of annotation experiments in which FrameNet annotation is applied to the Multi30k and the Flickr 30k Entities datasets. We as...

A TV Industrial figurou entre as pioneiras geradoras de programação instaladas fora de uma capital brasileira. Operou em Juiz de Fora entre 1964 e 1979, período no qual foi o único canal caracterizado como emissora local. Esta Dissertação resgata a história da TV Industrial (e seus antecedentes) e analisa o papel mediador desempenhado pela emissora...

Resumo Atualmente, a população urbana tem acesso aos mais diversos tipos de estímulos e informações, estão cercados de soluções às suas indagações. Mas assim como há a divisão entre morro e asfalto para dividir a favela e a "cidade", há uma outra oposição ainda mais antiga entre urbano e rural. A população rural encontra-se distanciada das principa...
