舒巷城的小說研究
香港作家舒巷城(1923-1999)被文學史家稱為香港的「鄉土作家」。「鄉土文學」 在中國內地及台灣有不同的定義及發展,香港特殊的地理環境、政治因素,令香港 文學的發展吸收、融合多方面的思潮、技巧,形成跟中國內地、台灣的文學同中有 異、異中有同的特色。本文主要把舒巷城放在時代背景中,分析香港「鄉土文學」 和其他兩地作品特色之異同,同時對舒巷城的作品按時序作一整理,嘗試整理出作 家在特定寫作環境下,作品所呈現的特色及作者文學觀的轉變
Automated annotation of multimedia audio data with affective labels for information management
The emergence of digital multimedia systems is creating many new opportunities for rapid access to huge content archives. In order to fully exploit these information sources, the content must be annotated with significant features. An important aspect of human interpretation of multimedia data, which is often overlooked, is the affective dimension. Such information is a potentially useful component for content-based classification and retrieval. Much of the affective information of multimedia content is contained within the audio data stream. Emotional
features can be defined in terms of arousal and valence levels. In this study low-level audio features are extracted to calculate arousal and valence levels of
multimedia audio streams. These are then mapped onto a set of keywords with predetermined emotional interpretations. Experimental results illustrate the use of this system to assign affective annotation to multimedia data
An affect-based video retrieval system with open vocabulary querying
Content-based video retrieval systems (CBVR) are creating
new search and browse capabilities using metadata describing significant features of the data. An often overlooked aspect of human interpretation of multimedia data is the affective dimension. Incorporating affective information into multimedia metadata can potentially enable search using
this alternative interpretation of multimedia content. Recent work has described methods to automatically assign affective labels to multimedia data using various approaches. However, the subjective and imprecise nature of affective labels makes it difficult to bridge the semantic gap between system-detected labels and user expression of information requirements in multimedia retrieval. We present a novel affect-based video retrieval system incorporating an open-vocabulary query stage based on WordNet enabling search using an unrestricted query vocabulary. The system performs automatic annotation of video data with labels of well
defined affective terms. In retrieval annotated documents are ranked using the standard Okapi retrieval model based on open-vocabulary text queries. We present experimental results examining the behaviour of the system for retrieval of a collection of automatically annotated feature films of different genres. Our results indicate that affective annotation can potentially provide useful augmentation to more traditional objective content description in multimedia retrieval
Emergence of Gapped Bulk and Metallic Side Walls in the Zeroth Landau level in Dirac and Weyl semimetals
Recent transport experiments have revealed the activation of longitudinal
magnetoresistance of Weyl semimetals in the quantum limit, suggesting the
breakdown of chiral anomaly in a strong magnetic field. Here we provide a
general mechanism for gapping the zeroth chiral Landau levels applicable for
both Dirac and Weyl semimetals. Our result shows that the zeroth Landau levels
anticross when the magnetic axis is perpendicular to the Dirac/Weyl node
separation and when the inverse magnetic length is comparable to the
node separation scale . The induced bulk gap increases rapidly beyond
a threshold field in Weyl semimetals, but has no threshold and is non-monotonic
in Dirac systems due to the crossover between and
regions. We also find that the Dirac and possibly Weyl
systems host counterpropagating edge states between the zeroth Landau levels,
leading to a state with metallic side walls and zero Hall conductance.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
Heralded magnetism in non-Hermitian atomic systems
Quantum phase transitions are usually studied in terms of Hermitian
Hamiltonians. However, cold-atom experiments are intrinsically non-Hermitian
due to spontaneous decay. Here, we show that non-Hermitian systems exhibit
quantum phase transitions that are beyond the paradigm of Hermitian physics. We
consider the non-Hermitian XY model, which can be implemented using three-level
atoms with spontaneous decay. We exactly solve the model in one dimension and
show that there is a quantum phase transition from short-range order to
quasi-long-range order despite the absence of a continuous symmetry in the
Hamiltonian. The ordered phase has a frustrated spin pattern. The critical
exponent can be 1 or 1/2. Our results can be seen experimentally with
trapped ions, cavity QED, and atoms in optical lattices.Comment: 7 pages + appendi
