Is a high tone pointy? Speakers of different languages match Mandarin Chinese tones to visual shapes differently by Shang, Nan, Styles, Suzy J.

“…Across both studies, we replicated the previously observed ‘u-curvy, i-pointy’ sound/shape cross-modal correspondence in all groups. However, Tones were mapped differently by people with different language backgrounds: speakers of Mandarin Chinese classified as Chinese-dominant systematically matched Tone 1 (high, steady) to the curvy shape and Tone 4 (falling) to the pointy shape, while English speakers with no knowledge of Chinese preferred to match Tone 1 (high, steady) to the pointy shape and Tone 3 (low, dipping) to the curvy shape. …”

Exogenous shocks and exchange rate regimes by Chia, Wai-Mun, Cheng, Tianyin, Li, Mengling

“…From both the theoretical model and empirical evidence, we find that (i) output responses to terms-of-trade and foreign interest rate shocks are smoother in floats, (ii) price responses to terms-of-trade shocks are smoother in floats than in pegs, while its responses to foreign interest shocks are more volatile in floats than in pegs, and (iii) the effects of terms-of-trade and foreign interest shocks are more prolonged under floats.…”

2D human pose estimation in TV shows by Ferrari, V, Marín-Jiménez, M, Zisserman, A

“…<p>The goal of this work is fully automatic 2D human pose estimation in unconstrained TV shows and feature films. Direct pose estimation on this uncontrolled material is often too difficult, especially when knowing nothing about the location, scale, pose, and appearance of the person, or even whether there is a person in the frame or not.…”
