Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelf-Supervised Contrastive Learning for Steering Angle Prediction in Autonomous Driving SimulationsMaxson Phang, Suryadiputra LiawatimenaPredicting steering angles is a crucial task in autonomous driving, with end-to-end deep learning being a widely used approach. However, such models often suffer from overfitting to learned trajectories, limiting their generalization to new data. To address this, self-supervised contrastive learning is explored as an alternative, allowing models to learn meaningful representations without labeled data. The primary objective is to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 9 · 20 Oct 2025 · 2,581 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPHASEY: A Contrastive Learning Approach for Enhanced Human Gait Phases RecognitionUrvashi, Deepak Kumar, Vinay Kukreja, Ayush DograHuman gait has gained much attention in behavioral biometrics as it possesses unique and distinctive characteristics. Gait phases, which describe the different patterns of human walking, are significant for the analysis and understanding of movement in an individual. Hence, the identification of gait phases is important for the accurate determination and interpretation of walking patterns, ranging from healthcare and security … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 8 · 16 Sep 2025 · 4,638 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContrastive Analysis of Stretched Collocations with Get and Take: Their use and Pedagogical ImplicationsSilvia Molina PlazaThis paper explores the pedagogical implications of contrastive analyses of light verb constructions containing get and take in English and Spanish based on electronic corpora, the British National Corpus (BNC) and the Corpus de Referencia del Español Actual (CREA). The main tenets of collocations from a contrastive perspective-and the points of contact and departure between both languages-are discussed prior to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2015 · 8,092 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRegister-Specific Collocational Constructions in English and Spanish: A Usage-Based ApproachGloria Corpas PastorConstructions are usage-based, conventionalised pairings of form and function within a cline of complexity and schematisation. Most research within Construction Grammar has focused on the monolingual description of schematic constructions: Mainly in English, but to a lesser extent in other languages as well. By contrast, very little constructional analyses have been carried out across languages. In this study we will … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 13 Jul 2015 · 9,705 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDifficulties in Translating Terminological Phrasemes in Economic Print Media from French, Spanish and English into Slovak-a Contrastive ApproachĽudmila Mešková, Janka KubekováThe aim of this study is to demonstrate that the correct identification, understanding and translating of terminological phrasemes can cause difficulty for students, translators, managers and entrepreneurs. The theoretical framework of this study comprises phraseology, phraseodidactics and one branch of cognitive linguistics - construction grammar-which takes into account phrases and not only individual words. Professional economic phrasemes were first compiled … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 24 Aug 2015 · 8,340 accessesView PDF Cite
