While tackles are a huge focus of Backbreaker, they are only part of the story. Movements such as running, passing and catching all have to be animated and we wanted to ensure these were of an equally high quality. Like other studios we use motion capture data for these non-euphoria animations. However, that is only the beginning. To create a believable and smooth experience in the game, it isn't enough to simply trigger motion capture clips at the appropriate point; the game needs to constantly blend, transition, modify and touch up the clips in real-time. For this we use morpheme, an animation engine that our company developed in addition to euphoria (and which we have also licensed to developers such as IO Interactive and Bioware). The morpheme technology allows animators to take all the motion capture clips and define how they blend and sit together. This may sound a little abstract, so let's look at an example. The first video clip shows a running animation, followed by a sudden directional change. The clip uses no transitions and as a result the change looks very abrupt (and certainly not like a real football player).

Google Tech Talks February, 8 2008 ABSTRACT Unsupervised morpheme analysis and language models developed at Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) open interesting new views on large vocabulary speech recognition, information retrieval and machine translation. This approach learns suitable sub-word units directly from relevant text corpora in a completely data-driven manner and can, thus, be easily ported to various morphologically complex languages. Our system includes several public domain software packages: Morfessor for determining the modeling units, VariKN to train effectively smoothed long-span LMs, a near-realtime single-pass decoder for LMs and LVCSR, and demos at: http://www.cis.hut.fi/projects/morpho/ http://www.cis.hut.fi/projects/speech/ I will also summarize the results from the recent Morpho Challenge machine learning competitions in morpheme analysis for language modeling and information retrieval: http://www.cis.hut.fi/morphochallenge2007/ Speaker: Mikko Kurimo Mikko Kurimo is currently Academy Research Fellow at Helsinki University of Technology (TKK), where he was an acting professor of Computer and Information Science (2001-2003). In 1998-2000 he worked as a postdoc at IDIAP and his Doctor of Science (PhD) degree is from TKK 1997. He has a long research record and a number of publications in large vocabulary speech recognition (since 1990) and has been involved in several international and national research projects and is TKK's site manager in the FP6 Network of Excellence PASCAL. At TKK's Adaptive Informatics Research Centre (which is one of the Centres of Excellence nominated by the Academy of Finland) he leads the Speech Recognition and Multimodal Interfaces research groups. The current research focus of his speech group is in language independent and unsupervised models for continuous speech with morpheme-based language models for very large vocabulary. The relevant pilot applications in the group range from unlimited vocabulary dictation systems for different languages to audio indexing and speech-to-speech translation. At the moment Mikko Kurimo is an International Fellow at SRI until February 2008.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is an English word in the song with the same title in the musical film Mary Poppins. The song was written by the Sherman Brothers, and sung by Julie Andrews and Dick van Dyke. Since Mary Poppins was a period piece set in 1910, period sounding songs were wanted. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious sounds like popular folk songs "Boiled Beef and Carrots" and "Any Old Iron". Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is a nonsense word. The critics' belief that the word itself has obscure origins has created some debate about when it was first used historically. According to Richard M. Sherman, co-writer of the song with his brother, Robert, the word was created by them in two weeks, mostly out of double-talk. Roots of the word have been defined as follows: super- "above", cali- "beauty", fragilistic- "delicate", expeali- "to atone", and docious- "educable", with the sum of these parts signifying roughly "Atoning for educatability through delicate beauty." This explication of its connotations suits the nature of fictional Mary Poppins, who presents herself as both extremely beautiful and also supremely intelligent and capable of great achievements. However, it should be noted that although the word contains recognizable English morphemes, it does not follow the rules of English morphology as a whole. The morpheme -istic is a suffix in English, whereas the morpheme ex- is typically a prefix; so following normal English morphological rules, it would represent two words: supercalifragilistic and expialidocious'. Additionally, according to the 1964 Walt Disney film, it's defined as "what you say when you don't know what to say". According to the film version of the song, "you can say it backwards, which is docious-ali-expi-listic-fragi-cali-repus". Julie Andrews, the star of Mary Poppins, has said that her husband at the time, Tony Walton, devised this backwards version of the word. In that word, the main syllables are reversed, rather than the order of each letter, with the exception of the end part 'repus', which is 'super' spelled backwards. In contrast, the musical play's version of the song presents a version of the word with all the letters reversed (suoicodilaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus).prounounced as sue-codiliap-exit-silly-garf-illa-creapus. In addition, they spelled and sang each letter of the famous tongue twister, similar to "Do-Re-Mi" from The Sound of Music. In 1965, the song was the subject of an unsuccessful lawsuit by songwriters Barney Young and Gloria Parker against Wonderland Music, who published the version of the song from the Walt Disney film. The plaintiffs alleged that it was a copyright infringement of a 1951 song of their own called Supercalafajalistickespeealadojus. The Disney publishers won the lawsuit partially because affidavits were produced showing that "variants of the word were known many years prior to 1949." In the 1942 movie "The Undying Monster" (directed by John Brahm), the character Rob Curtis (played by James Ellison) says of character Christy, "She has an overactive supercalifragilis." He goes on to define the word as "female intuition." This passage does not appear in the 1936 novel by Jessie Douglas Kerruish." The screenplay was written by: Lillie Hayward and Michael Jacoby. In the West End and Broadway musical, everyone runs out of conversations, and Mary and the children go to Mrs. Corry's shop, where you can buy them. Jane and Michael pick out some letters and spell a few words. Bert and Mrs. Corry use the letters to make some words (whose existence Jane doubts). Mary says that you could use some letters more than one time and creates the longest word of all in this song.

This is the third of the series of exposures of the blunder-ridden vapidity of the edubabble industry's current attack on the morpheme. We see how two 'stars' of the research establishment show gross morphological incompetence.

After its misleading caricature of the English phoneme, the edubabble research industry has turned its malign eye to the English morpheme. True to form, the early results are just as intellectually vapid and linguistically unsafe as ever. This is the first of a series of exposures of the emerging 'morphotwaddle'.

Uma historinha besta que meus amigos e eu fizemos. =)

Chinese medicine places huge emphasis on a form of energy called 精(pinyin: jing1, also a morpheme denoting "essence" or "spirit")[7] [8] - which one attempts to develop and accumulate, jing is sexual energy and is considered to dissipate with ejaculation so masturbation is considered "Energy Suicide" amongst those who practice this art. According to Chi Kung theory, energy from many pathways/meridians becomes diverted and transfers itself to the sexual organs during sexual excitement, the ensuing orgasm and ejaculation will then finally expel the energy from the system completely. The Chinese proverb 一滴精，十滴血(pinyin: yi4 di1 jing1, shi2 di1 xue3, literally: a drop of semen is equal to ten drops of blood) illustrates this point. A Gratifying Relationship & Sexual Tension. P.S. SOME of my views on this were shown and there are obviously more to my views but I don't feel like I need to explain everything. So I'll leave it to your imagination! #49 - Most Discussed (Today) - People & Blogs

Fourth video from the Portmanteau´s serie. Quarto vídeo da série "Portmanteau". Dessa vez, selecionei trechos de alguns filmes mudos do início do século XX e montei uma pequena história. O nome desse vídeo é "O sonho de Cesare" - Cesare é o assassino manipulado através de hipnotismo pelo Dr. Caligari, no filme "O Gabinete do Dr. Caligari", de Robert Wiene, 1920. Faço assim uma homenagem ao cinema e ao mesmo tempo, coloco diversas linguagens do audiovisual simultaneamente, cada uma com seus ruídos de imagem e com seu modo de impressão da luz. Espero que gostem. Série "Portmanteau", exercício experimental, parte da pesquisa que estou fazendo no curso de pós-graduação em cinema, vídeo e fotografia que estou cursando na Universidade Belas Artes. Portmanteau: A portmanteau (plural: portmanteaux or portmanteaus) is a term in linguistics that refers to a word or morpheme that fuses two or more grammatical functions. A folk usage of portmanteau refers to a word that is formed by combining both sounds and meanings from two or more words (e.g. 'animatronics' from 'animation' and 'electronics'). In linguistics, these folk portmanteaux are called blends. Font: Wikipedia Video de de Daniela Castilho aka DaniCast.
