A partir do estudo e consolidação empírica da Psicoterapia Analítica Funcional (FAP) tem-se explorado cada vez mais a relação estabelecida entre terapeuta e cliente, no intuito de se compreender e aprimorar os processos de mudança clínica ocorridos em terapia. A literatura enfatiza que respostas emitidas por parte do terapeuta no decorrer do processo de autorrevelação do cliente podem impactar seu desfecho, facilitando ou dificultando exposições e verbalizações. Considerando que a FAP tem se ajustado bem a casos clínicos que apresentam dificuldades no estabelecimento de relações de intimidade, o objetivo central desta pesquisa foi investigar se o responder contingente do terapeuta às respostas de esquivas emocionais emitidas pelo cliente, aumenta a emissão de relatos sobre sentimentos, assim como o de autorrevelações em sessão e em seus relacionamentos extra consultório. Para isso, uma cliente com queixa de dificuldade em estabelecer relações interpessoais e uma terapeuta (com experiência clínica no manejo da FAP) foram selecionadas. O delineamento experimental de caso único apresentou o formato: A1-B1-A2-B2. As sessões foram filmadas e transcritas e os dados coletados foram analisados pela Escala de Classificação da Psicoterapia Analítica Funcional (FAPRS) adaptada. Doze sessões foram categorizadas e 4.094 (quatro mil e noventa e quatro) unidades de análises foram avaliadas. Os resultados indicaram que a variável independente (FAP) foi a responsável pela diminuição na emissão de comportamentos problema (CRBs1) e, principalmente, pelo aumento na emissão de comportamentos de melhora (CRBs2). Em outras palavras, durante a fase FAP, após a evocação da terapeuta, a cliente passou a entrar em contato com seus sentimentos e se autorrevelar mais efetivamente em terapia, de modo que seus comportamentos de esquiva emocional diminuíram. De maneira geral, as diferenças entre as fases FAP e não-FAP ficaram evidentes com os dados dos CRBs2 e não com os dos CRBs1. Os resultados corroboram a hipótese do estudo, fortalecem as evidências clínicas promovidas pela Psicoterapia Analítica Funcional e replicam os dados apresentados pelas pesquisas realizadas no Programa de Psicologia Clínica da USP com o uso da FAP e com delineamento experimental de caso único / Based on studies and empirical consolidation of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP), the relationship between therapist and client has been extensively explored in order to understand and enhance the process of clinical change that occurs during therapy sessions. The literature emphasizes that feedback provided by the therapist to the process of clients self-disclosure might affect and impact outcome by facilitating or hindering interpersonal exposure and verbalizations. Considering that FAP presents satisfactory results with clinical cases characterized by difficulties to establish intimate relationships, the aim of this research was to investigate whether the therapist contingent responding to clients emotional avoidance increases clients report of feelings, self-disclosure in therapy and in out-of-session relationships. For this study, a client with problems to establish interpersonal relationships and a therapist with clinical expertise on FAP were chosen. The single-case experimental design had the format: A1-B1-A2-B2. The sessions were recorded and transcribed and the data collected were coded using an adaptation of the Functional Analytic Psychotherapy Rating Scale (FAPRS). Twelve sessions were coded and 4.094 (four thousand and ninetyfour) units of analysis were analyzed. Results indicated that the independent variable (FAP) was responsible for decreasing the emission of problem behaviors (CRBs1) and above all for increasing the emission of improvements (CRBs2). In other words, during FAPs phase, after the therapist evoking, the client began to get in touch with her feelings and to self-disclose more effectively in therapy. As a result, her emotional avoidance behaviors decreased. In general, the differences between FAP and non-FAP phases were clearly showed in the data of the CBRs2 and not in the data of the CRBs1. The results corroborate the hypothesis of the study, strengthen clinical evidence of FAP and replicate the data presented in other research studies conducted in the Clinical Psychology Program at University of São Paulo using FAP and single-case designs

Este trabalho apresenta uma metodologia para caracterização do perfil de consumo de recursos demandados por um programa de computador a partir da análise do código binário do arquivo executável. A categorização de processos de acordo com seus perfis de consumo de recursos durante a execuçãotais como uso de CPU e memóriaé uma informação muito desejada para objetivos de projeto e gerenciamento de sistemas. Técnicas convencionais para este propósito são baseadas em testes de caixa branca (que avaliam o código fonte da aplicação), que tendem a ser de difícil aplicação dado a complexidade das arquiteturas de software além da necessidade de acesso ao código fonte; ou detecção de perfis baseada em dados de execução, que depende da disponibilidade de dados de execução confiáveis e da seleção de características que de fato vão correlacionar o perfil de consumo. A abordagem baseada em mineração de dados proposta neste trabalho evita estas dificuldades uma vez que manipula somente os arquivos binários executáveis. O método combina técnicas provindas da teoria da informação, redes complexas e filogenia para produzir um agrupamento hierárquico de um conjunto de arquivos de programas executáveis que pode ser utilizado para prever potenciais similaridades em termos de consumo de recursos em tempo de execução. As questões de pesquisa deste trabalho investigam se a transformação feita pelo compilador preserva similaridades entre código fonte e binário que podem ser detectadas através de algoritmos de compressão; em caso positivo, verificar se as similaridades encontradas no código binário estão relacionadas com o perfil de execução das aplicações, permitindo inferir o comportamento dos programas a partir da análise do código binário. Este trabalho apresenta a sistematização do método assim como os resultados da aplicação para caracterizar aplicações em termos de consumo de CPU e Entrada/Saída em uma plataforma PC padrão. Diversos experimentos foram executados em um repositório de 80 programas de várias fontes obtendo-se resultados significativos que evidenciam que a similaridade dos perfis de execução obtidas com esta abordagem é consistente com as obtidas experimentalmente por aferição. A aplicação do método também é exemplificado através de casos de estudo que caracterizam o perfil de execução de programas executáveis. / This work introduces a methodology for characterizing the runtime resource demands of a computer program from the analysis of its binary executable file. Categorization of processes according to the kind of resources required during execution such as CPU and memory usage is a sought-after piece of knowledge for the aims of computer system design and management. Conventional techniques available for this purpose include white-box static source code analysis and profile matching based on historical execution data. The former tends to be challenging in face of complex software architectures and requires access to the source code; the latter is dependent on the availability of reliable past data and on the selection of features yielding effective correlations with resource usage. The alternative data mining approach proposed in this paper avoids those difficulties by manipulating binary executable files. The method combines techniques from information theory, complex networks and phylogenetics to produce a hierarchical clustering of a set of executable files, which can be used to predict potential similarities in terms of runtime resource usage. The works research questions investigate if the transformation performed by the compiler preserves similarity information across the source and binary code representation such that it can be detected by standard compression algorithms; and if the so identified similarities in the symbolic object encoding are correlated to runtime resource usage to an extent which allows for inferring the programs behavior from the analysis of the binary file. The paper introduces the methods rationales and presents results of its application to characterize CPU and IO usages of benchmark applications executed on a standard PC platform. Essays carried out over a set of 80 executable programs from varying sources yielded numerically significant evidences that the prediction of resource usage similarity obtained by the approach is consistent with experimentally measured runtime profile. The application of the method is also exemplified in a few case studies aimed at characterizing executable programs runtime profile.

The ability to organize concepts (e.g., dog, chair) into efficient mental representations, i.e., categories (e.g., animal, furniture) is a fundamental mechanism which allows humans to perceive, organize, and adapt to their world. Much research has been dedicated to the questions of how categories emerge and how they are represented. Experimental evidence suggests that (i) concepts and categories are represented through sets of features (e.g., dogs bark, chairs are made of wood) which are structured into different types (e.g, behavior, material); (ii) categories and their featural representations are learnt jointly and incrementally; and (iii) categories are dynamic and their representations adapt to changing environments. This thesis investigates the mechanisms underlying the incremental and dynamic formation of categories and their featural representations through cognitively motivated Bayesian computational models. Models of category acquisition have been extensively studied in cognitive science and primarily tested on perceptual abstractions or artificial stimuli. In this thesis, we focus on categories acquired from natural language stimuli, using nouns as a stand-in for their reference concepts, and their linguistic contexts as a representation of the concepts’ features. The use of text corpora allows us to (i) develop large-scale unsupervised models thus simulating human learning, and (ii) model child category acquisition, leveraging the linguistic input available to children in the form of transcribed child-directed language. In the first part of this thesis we investigate the incremental process of category acquisition. We present a Bayesian model and an incremental learning algorithm which sequentially integrates newly observed data. We evaluate our model output against gold standard categories (elicited experimentally from human participants), and show that high-quality categories are learnt both from child-directed data and from large, thematically unrestricted text corpora. We find that the model performs well even under constrained memory resources, resembling human cognitive limitations. While lists of representative features for categories emerge from this model, they are neither structured nor jointly optimized with the categories. We address these shortcomings in the second part of the thesis, and present a Bayesian model which jointly learns categories and structured featural representations. We present both batch and incremental learning algorithms, and demonstrate the model’s effectiveness on both encyclopedic and child-directed data. We show that high-quality categories and features emerge in the joint learning process, and that the structured features are intuitively interpretable through human plausibility judgment evaluation. In the third part of the thesis we turn to the dynamic nature of meaning: categories and their featural representations change over time, e.g., children distinguish some types of features (such as size and shade) less clearly than adults, and word meanings adapt to our ever changing environment and its structure. We present a dynamic Bayesian model of meaning change, which infers time-specific concept representations as a set of feature types and their prevalence, and captures their development as a smooth process. We analyze the development of concept representations in their complexity over time from child-directed data, and show that our model captures established patterns of child concept learning. We also apply our model to diachronic change of word meaning, modeling how word senses change internally and in prevalence over centuries. The contributions of this thesis are threefold. Firstly, we show that a variety of experimental results on the acquisition and representation of categories can be captured with computational models within the framework of Bayesian modeling. Secondly, we show that natural language text is an appropriate source of information for modeling categorization-related phenomena suggesting that the environmental structure that drives category formation is encoded in this data. Thirdly, we show that the experimental findings hold on a larger scale. Our models are trained and tested on a larger set of concepts and categories than is common in behavioral experiments and the categories and featural representations they can learn from linguistic text are in principle unrestricted.

Le service, basé sur de nombreuses ressources verbales et multimodales, est déterminant dans l’organisation de la prise de repas au restaurant. Dans le cadre de ce travail de recherche, nous nous sommes particulièrement intéressée aux interactions se déroulant entre le personnel de service et la clientèle grâce à la collecte d’un corpus d’enregistrements vidéo réalisée en situation naturelle, au sein de plusieurs restaurants. Ce travail empirique, mené dans une perspective praxéologique et interactionnelle, nous a permis de dégager plusieurs phénomènes interactionnels constitutifs des pratiques professionnelles de service. Les phénomènes dégagés nous permettent de souligner l’importance et la complexité des différentes ressources mises en œuvre par les participants dans l’organisation et l’ordonnancement de leurs activités. L’analyse se focalise tout d’abord sur les pratiques par lesquelles le personnel de service ouvre régulièrement l’interaction avec les clients, puis aux différents usages de la carte, et enfin à l’organisation du choix et à l’emploi de catégories ad hoc lors de la prise de commande des plats et des vins. L’enjeu de ce travail est de comprendre l’organisation détaillée des interactions entre personnel de service et clients et ainsi, de souligner leurs caractères fondamental et structurant dans l’expérience de restauration. / Based on a rich array of verbal and multimodal resources, the service is crucial in the organization of the meal at restaurant. Within this study, we are particularly interested in the interactions taking place between service staff and customers. On the basis of a corpus of video recordings realized in natural settings within several restaurants, the empirical analyses have been carried out within a praxeological and interactional perspective. Several interactional patterns within professional practices of service have been identified. These phenomena allow us to underline the importance and the complexity of various multimodal resources implemented by the participants in the organization and the coordination of their activities. This study is interested first of all in the practices by which service staff opens regularly the interaction with customers, then in the various uses of menu, and finally in the organization of the choice and the use of ad hoc categories during the order-taking of dishes and wines. The issue is to understand the detailed organization of the interactions between service staff and customers and so, to underline their fundamental and structuring character for the dining experience.

Tendo, em vista, a importância da relação terapeuta-cliente na psicoterapia, o presente trabalho se propôs a identificar, empiricamente, a ocorrência de comportamentos de uma terapeuta e da sua cliente em sessões iniciais de psicoterapia, filmadas em vídeo e analisar os possíveis efeitos desses comportamentos no estabelecimento da relação terapêutica. Foram categorizados os comportamentos verbais vocais e verbais não vocais da terapeuta e da cliente em cinco sessões iniciais de terapia através do método observacional de gravações audiovisuais. Essas gravações foram realizadas no Laboratório de Terapia Comportamental do Instituto de Psicologia Clínica da Universidade de São Paulo. Os comportamentos da terapeuta e da cliente foram categorizados de acordo com o Sistema Multidimensional para a Categorização de Comportamentos na interação terapeuta-cliente (SMCCIT). Além desse instrumento, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a relação terapêutica e, também, sobre os relatos de pesquisas de categorização de sessões de terapia com a finalidade de auxiliar na identificação de comportamentos da terapeuta, favorecedores da relação terapêutica. Os resultados das categorizações indicam que as categorias mais frequentes do comportamento verbal vocal da terapeuta são: Facilitação (FAC: 31,2%), Empatia (EMP: 24,1%) e Solicitação de Relato (SRE: 18,4%). Já, no que se refere às categorias do comportamento verbal vocal da cliente, houve uma prevalência das categorias Relato (REL: 61,1 %), Concordância (COM: 21,9%) e Relações (CER: 8,1%). Em relação às categorias dos comportamentos verbais não vocais, houve uma prevalência de Concordância para ambos. Porém, para a terapeuta, essa categoria teve uma ocorrência maior. Essa categorização dos comportamentos da terapeuta e da cliente é uma contribuição para a evolução de pesquisas empíricas no contexto terapêutico e para uma melhor compreensão das consequências desses comportamentos para a eficácia da terapia. Portanto, de maneira geral, houve congruência entre os padrões encontrados da relação terapêutica nas cinco sessões e as descrições da literatura da área sobre o assunto. Porém, foi possível perceber, através da observação das sessões, que existem outros comportamentos da terapeuta e da cliente, apontados pela literatura como favoráveis para o estabelecimento da relação terapêutica além daqueles possíveis de identificação pelo SMCCIT. Esses comportamentos estão relacionados as características da terapeuta e da cliente. Por fim, sugere-se a criação de novas categorias que possibilitem investigações relacionadas a esses aspectos dos comportamentos da terapeuta e da cliente, envolvidos com o estabelecimento da relação terapêutica / Having in view the importance of client-therapist relationship in psychotherapy, this study proposes to identify, empirically, the occurrence of a behavior therapist and his client in early sessions of psychotherapy, videotaped and analyze the possible effects of these behaviors in the establishment of the therapeutic relationship. The patients verbal behaviors vocal and vocal non-verbal have been categorized in the initial five sessions of therapy via the observational method of audio-visual. These recordings have been performed at the Institute for Behavior Therapy Clinical Psychology laboratory, in the University of Sao Paulo. The behavior of the therapist and the client were categorized according to the System for Multidimensional Categorization Behaviors in the therapist-client interaction (SMCCIT). Beside this instrument, we performed a bibliographic review on the therapeutic relationship, and also on the research reports of categorization of therapy sessions in order to assist in identifying therapist behaviors, favoring the therapeutic relationship.The results indicate that the categorization of the most frequent categories of vocal verbal behavior of the therapist are: Facilitation (FAC: 31.2%), Empathy (EMP: 24.1%) and Request for Report (SER: 18.4%). Now, with regard to the categories of vocal verbal behavior of the client, there was a prevalence of reporting categories (REL: 61.1%), Agreement (COM: 21.9%) and Relations (CER: 8.1%). In relation to the categories of non-vocal verbal behavior, there was a prevalence of agreement for both. However, for the therapist, this category had a higher frequency. This categorization of the behaviors of the therapist and the client is a contribution to the evolution of empirical research in the therapeutic context and for a better understanding of the consequences of these behaviors for effective therapy. Therefore, in general, there was congruence between the patterns found in the therapeutic relationship in the five sessions and descriptions of the literature on the subject area. However, it was possible to note, by observing the sessions, that there are other behaviors of the therapist and client, appointed by the literature as favorable for the establishment of the therapeutic relationship beyond those possible identified by SMCCIT. These behaviors are related to the characteristics of the therapist and client. Finally, the creation of new categories that allow investigations related to these aspects of the behavior of the therapist and the client involved with the establishment of the therapeutic relationship is suggested

Recent research in visual object recognition has shown that context can facilitate object recognition. This study assessed the effect of self-relevant familiarity of context in object recognition. Participants performed a task in which they had to recognize degraded objects shown under varying levels of contextual information. The level of degradation at which they could successfully recognize the target object was used as a measure of performance. There were five contextual conditions: (1) no context, (2) context, (3) context and size, (4) context and location, (5) context, size and location. Within each contextual condition, we compared the performance of "Expert" participants who viewed objects in the context of their own house and "Novice" participants who viewed those particular settings for the first time. Ratings were performed to assess each object's consistency, frequency, position consistency, typicality and shape distinctiveness. Object's size was the only contextual info rmation that did not affect performance. Contextual information significantly reduced the amount of bottom-up visual information needed for object identification for both experts and novices. An interaction (Contextual Information x Level of Familiarity) was observed. Expert participants' performance improved significantly more than novice participants' performance by the presence of contextual information. Location information affected the performance of expert participants, only when objects that occupied stable positions were considered. Both expert and novice participants performed better with objects that rated high in typicality and shape distinctiveness. Object's consistency, frequency and position consistency did not seem to affect expert participants' performance but did affect novice participants' performance. / A regression analysis model that included Level of Familiarity, Contextual Information Level, Shape and Typical performance. Our results are in accordance with the priming model of visual object recognition. We concluded that a self-relevant context has its own consistency rules and that it affects visual object recognition by narrowing down the number of expectations and the search space significantly more than a non-self-relevant context does.

OLivro de Travesseiro (Makura no Sôshi), de Sei Shônagon, escrito entre o fim do século X e o início do XI, possui hoje inegável status canônico no contexto da literatura japonesa. Ao mesmo tempo, é o texto japonês mais traduzido do mundo, ocupando lugar estável na lista de títulos que são considerados como pertencentes à Weltliteratur, com uma adaptação cinematográfica (O Livro de Cabeceira, de Peter Greenaway, 1996) e duas versões para o português do Brasil (2008 e 2013). A posteridade tratou as enumerações presentes no texto como tópicos poéticos, ou mesmo, contemporaneamente, como poesia - principalmente em tradução. As listas revelam uma atitude lúdica com relação à linguagem e àquilo que Foucault chamava de "categorias do pensamento" Nesse sentido, o texto de Sei Shônagon pode ser posto em diálogo com o olhar de estranheza em relação à categorização racionalista, que é a premissa de As Palavras e as Coisas (Michel Foucault, 1966) e com a obra de Jorge Luis Borges. A obra de Sei Shônagon mobiliza diversas camadas de conceitos problemáticos ao mesmo tempo. Por outro lado, nenhuma dessas categorias se aplica a O Livro de Travesseiro sem provocar, por sua vez, desestabilizações conceituais. A questão da autoria feminina e de sua relação com a figura do pai e com a cultura do patriarcado reaparece em O Livro de Cabeceira, na trajetória de liberação pela escrita da personagem principal do filme. Essas possíveis leituras dos textos propostos contribuem para a problematização de questões relacionadas à autoria, ao conhecimento, à tradução e à adaptação. / The Pillow Book (Makura no Sõshi) of Sei Shônagon, written between the end of the tenth and the beginning of the eleventh century, has attained undeniable canonical status in the context o f Japanese Literature. lt also is the most translated ]a panes e text in the world, and occupies a stable place in the list of works that are considered as belonging to the realm of Weltliteratur. It has been adapted to the screen outside Japan (The Pillow Book by Peter Greenaway, 1996) and translated twice to Brazilian Portuguese (in 2008 and 2013). Later generations of readers have treated the text's enumerations as catalogues of poetic topics or even, since the beginning of the twentieth century, and especially in translation, as poetry. The lists show a playful approach to language and to what Foucault has called the "categories of thought". In this sense, Sei Shõnagon's reuvre can be read in resonance with Foucault's Les Mots et les Choses (1966) and its attempt to defamiliarize rational categorization, a conceptual device which can also be found in the work ofJorge Luis Borges. Sei Shõnagon's work simultaneously mobilizes severallayers of problematíc concepts. On the other hand, none of these categories applies to lhe Pillow Book without engendering further conceptual destabilization. The issues of female authorship and woman authors' relationships with their fathers in a patriarchal culture reappear in the film, in the main character's journey towards liberation through writing. Those possible readings of the proposed texts contribute to the problematization of issues related to authorship, knowledge, translation and adaptation.

Cette thèse porte sur la question de la sémantique causative. Elle propose une typologie sémantique pour les verbes causatifs analytiques CAUSE, MAKE, HAVE, GET et LET, fondée sur le modèle de la dynamique des forces. Le premier chapitre est une étude épistémologique de l’essence de la notion de causation et de son expression linguistique en anglais. Le second chapitre situe le cadre théorique de notre analyse, à savoir la sémantique cognitive. Le troisième chapitre est un tour d’horizon des idées les plus récurrentes dans la littérature au sujet de la sémantique des verbes causatifs analytiques. Dans le quatrième chapitre, nous proposons une étude de corpus portant sur les propriétés lexico-sémantiques des verbes CAUSE, MAKE, HAVE, GET et LET. Sur la base des donnés empiriques de notre étude de corpus, nous présentons, dans le dernier chapitre, une nouvelle typologie sémantique pour les verbes causatifs analytiques anglais / This thesis deals with the semantics of causative constructions. It develops a semantic typology for English periphrastic causative verbs CAUSE, MAKE, HAVE, GET, and LET, based on the force-dynamics model. The first chapter aims to capture the essence of the notion of causation from an epistemic as well as a linguistic viewpoints. The second chapter sets the theoretical framework, which is cognitive semantics. The third chapter offers a discussion of some of the most commonly shared hypotheses about the semantics of English periphrastic causative verbs in literature. In the fourth chapter, we propose a corpus study of the lexico-semantic features of the verbs CAUSE, MAKE, HAVE, GET and LET. The last chapter presents a newly semantic typology for English periphrastic causative verbs, drawn upon the data we collected from our corpus study.
