Automated pattern analysis in gesture research : similarity measuring in 3D motion capture models of communicative action
The question of how to model similarity between gestures plays an important role in current studies in the domain of human communication. Most research into recurrent patterns in co-verbal gestures – manual communicative movements emerging spontaneously during conversation – is driven by qualitative analyses relying on observational comparisons between gestures. Due to the fact that these kinds of gestures are not bound to well-formedness conditions, however, we propose a quantitative approach consisting of a distance-based similarity model for gestures recorded and represented in motion capture data streams. To this end, we model gestures by flexible feature representations, namely gesture signatures, which are then compared via signature-based distance functions such as the Earth Mover's Distance and the Signature Quadratic Form Distance. Experiments on real conversational motion capture data evidence the appropriateness of the proposed approaches in terms of their accuracy and efficiency. Our contribution to gesture similarity research and gesture data analysis allows for new quantitative methods of identifying patterns of gestural movements in human face-to-face interaction, i.e., in complex multimodal data sets

Square lattice Ising model susceptibility: Series expansion method and differential equation for
In a previous paper (J. Phys. A {\bf 37} (2004) 9651-9668) we have given the
Fuchsian linear differential equation satisfied by , the
``three-particle'' contribution to the susceptibility of the isotropic square
lattice Ising model. This paper gives the details of the calculations (with
some useful tricks and tools) allowing one to obtain long series in polynomial
time. The method is based on series expansion in the variables that appear in
the -dimensional integrals representing the -particle contribution to
the isotropic square lattice Ising model susceptibility . The
integration rules are straightforward due to remarkable formulas we derived for
these variables. We obtain without any numerical approximation as
a fully integrated series in the variable , where , with the conventional Ising model coupling constant. We also
give some perspectives and comments on these results.Comment: 28 pages, no figur
Boson-fermion mappings for odd systems from supercoherent states
We extend the formalism whereby boson mappings can be derived from
generalized coherent states to boson-fermion mappings for systems with an odd
number of fermions. This is accomplished by constructing supercoherent states
in terms of both complex and Grassmann variables. In addition to a known
mapping for the full so(2+1) algebra, we also uncover some other formal
mappings, together with mappings relevant to collective subspaces.Comment: 40 pages, REVTE
