王中军：比电影更精彩的人生

在中国,如果说哪位老板的知名度不如自己的员工高,估计非王中军莫属。他一手创办的华谊兄弟正是专门“生产”明星的“梦工厂”。《荆轲刺秦王》、《鬼子来了》、《刮痧》、《天地英雄》、《卡拉是条狗》、《一声叹息》、《没完没了》、《寻枪》、《功夫》、《手机》、《天下无贼》、《可可西里》……在这一系列国产大片的片头,都有一个相同的出品人:华谊兄弟影视公司。身为华谊兄弟的董事长,王中军短短几年内在影视业界异军突起,成为国内毫无争议的“电影大亨”。在中国电影市场如此低迷的情况下,每年仅有的两三部能获得高票房的影片,其中就…     

“音乐需要世界通码”——访著名作曲家叶小纲

大部分人最早知道叶小纲是从《人约黄昏》、《半生缘》等影视歌曲开始的,那时他已经从美国伊斯曼音乐学院留学归来两年了,接受了世界各地的委约,创作了大量作品:交响乐《冬》,《迦叶无语》、《最后的乐园》、《地平线》……在后来的几年里,叶小纲一直不断坚持着在音乐上的探索,交响乐和影视音乐成为他挥洒激情和才华的两块自由园地。《春天的故事》、《长城交响曲》、《西藏之光》;电影《刮痧》、《惊涛骇浪》等的配曲……旋律如泉般涌出他的笔尖。这位出身音乐世家,当年和谭盾、翟小松和郭文景并称为中央音乐学院78届四大才子的音乐家,现在…

《论语》虽好却不足以治天下

在中国历史上,毫无疑问,《论语》是一部最具影响力的著作。著名学者李泽厚先生在《〈论语〉今读》中有精辟明确的论述:《论语》在塑建、构造汉民族文化心理结构的历史过程中,大概起了无可替代、首屈一指的重要作用。不但自汉至清两千年的专制王朝以它作为做官求仕的入学初阶或必修课本,成了士大夫知识分子的言行思想的根本基础,而且通过各种层次的士大夫知识分子以及他们撰写编撰的《孝经》、《急就篇》(少数词句)一直到《三字经》、《千字文》、《增广贤文》以及各种“功过格”等等,当然更包括各种“家规”、“族规”、“乡

Prediction Model for Bollywood Movie Success: A Comparative Analysis of Performance of Supervised Machine Learning Algorithms

The main purpose of this paper is to do a comparative analysis of prediction models using various machine learning techniques. The models will be used to predict whether a movie will be a hit or flop before it is actually released. The techniques used for comparisons are decision tree, random forest (RF), support vector machine, logistics regression, adaptive tree boosting, and artificial neural network algorithms. The major predictors used in the models are the ratings of the lead actor, IMDb ranking of a movie, music rank of the movie, and total number of screens planned for the release of a movie. The results of most models indicated a reasonable accuracy, ranging from 80 to 90%. However, models based on two techniques, RF and logistic regression, achieved an accuracy of 92%. From the results, the most important predictors of a movie’s success are music rating, followed by its IMDb rating and total screens used for release.

     

Implementation issues in a grid-based multi-agent simulation system used for increasing labor supply

This paper describes issues of implementation for a Grid-based multi-agent simulation used to support decision-makers in making their decisions. Recently, social scientists including sociologists, economists, and social psychologists, have become interested in large- scale multi-agent simulation. However, users who are not familiar with operating large-scale computing resources may have a difficult time implementing these simulations. Therefore, the authors have developed a computing environment with a task-control support framework for a day care center allocation problem. In addition, we show how to implement the Grid-based multi-agent simulation system. In this paper, we examine the effectiveness of the proposed system using experiments with human subjects. By using the proposed prototype system, decision-makers were able to find near optimal solutions without examining all possible tasks.     

The Boosting Effect of E-WOM on Macro-level Consumption: A Cross-Industry Empirical Analysis in Japan

In this study, we carry out an empirical analysis on how electronic word-of-mouth (hereinafter “e-WOM”) marketing on e-WOM websites and electronic-commerce websites on the Internet boosts consumption on a macro-level. In our analysis, we conduct a model analysis of consumer behavior using data composed of more than 30,000 questionnaire surveys and quantitatively find the elasticity coefficient of the boost to consumption by performing a two-step GMM (generalized method of moments), which uses instrumental variables. The results of the analysis show e-WOM significantly increased expenditures in six fields: computers, electrical appliances, etc.; music; hobbies; clothing, accessories, etc.; beauty products, etc.; and goods for everyday life, etc. Furthermore, there was no field that had a significantly negative value. These results showed that, in the majority of the target fields, e-WOM had not only the effect of winning customers from the competition, but also the effect of boosting consumption on a macro-level. In addition, even from people’s subjective evaluations, there were many in all the generational groups who said that e-WOM boosted expenditures.     

An Interactive Independent Topic Analysis for a Mass Document Review Service

In this paper, we propose an interactive constrained independent topic analysis in text data mining. Independent topic analysis (ITA) is a method for extracting independent topics from document data using independent component analysis. In this independent topic analysis, the most independent topics between each topic are extracted. By extracting the independent topic, managing documents with a large number of text data is easy with document access support systems and document management systems. However, the topics extracted by ITA are often different from the topics a user requests. For the system to be of service to users, an interactive system that reflects the user’s requests is necessary. Thus, we propose an interactive ITA that works for the user. For example, if there are three topics, i.e., topic A, topic B, and topic C, and a user choose the content from topics A and B, a user can merge those topics into one topic D. In addition, if a user wants to analyze topic A in more detail, a user could separate topic A into topics E and topic F. To that end, we define Merge Link constraints and Separate Link constraints as user requests. The Merge Link constraint is a constraint that merges two topics into one topic. The Separate Link constraint is a constraint that separates two topics from one topic. In this paper, we propose a method for extracting a highly independent topic that meets these constraints. We conducted evaluation experiments on our proposed methods, and obtained results to show the effectiveness of our approach.     

The Role of Cross-Border Networks of Skilled Labor in Offshore Outsourcing: Empirical Evidence Based on the Network Theory

This study investigates the determinant role of the cross-border movement of skilled labor in the expansion of service trade between the US, and both developed and developing countries. For this purpose, we employ the key concepts of network theory as an analytical framework and conduct panel data analysis and graphical modeling analysis for 31 countries from 1999 to 2008. In this decade, offshore outsourcing in the service trade took off worldwide. We use data for each country’s service exports to the US, number of H-1B visas issued, GNI per-capita, network readiness index, and an English dummy for the official language. We illustrate the trajectory and interactions between these factors. These analyses yield three observations. First, service trade with the US is more intensive among higher income countries. Second, the number of H-1B visas issued has a positive effect on service exports to the US. Third, individuals in lower income countries tend to desire H-1B visas and create intensive skilled labor networks with the US, the path through which developing countries such as India expanded their service exports to the US.     

Integrating Smart Glasses with Question-Answering Module in Assistant Work Environment

Recently, smart glasses have been applied in the field of maintenance, with which a worker goes well during work by contacting a support operator from a remote location. The worker, however, cannot go well if the support operator is not there. To solve the issues, this paper discusses how a work system should be developed by integrating smart glasses with a question-answering module. We design the work knowledge acquired from skilled people and manuals as a workflow for when type of question, rule base for how, goal tree for why, domain ontologies, and its RDF data for what. Workers can receive answers from the question-answering module incorporated with multiple knowledge bases for four types of question. The authors conducted a demonstration experiment and found that workers could perform the work more autonomously by importing the system.
