BU Open Access Articles
Browse by:
The Boston University Open Access collection contains scholarly publications written by Boston University faculty. This collection primarily consists of scholarly journal articles and published conference proceedings but open access book chapters, reviews, white papers, conference abstracts, and technical reports are also included. These publications are made available in OpenBU, Boston University’s Open Access Institutional Repository under the provisions of the Boston University Open Access Policy or by other arrangement.
Publications in Boston University’s Open Access collection are primarily one of three versions:
- First Author Drafts. This is the author's manuscript prior to formal peer review.
- Accepted Manuscript. This is the version that exists after peer review, but before final copy editing and publisher formatting. Note: This is NOT publisher proofs.
- Published Version. This is the final version that appeared in a formal publication such as a peer-reviewed journal, book, or published conference proceeding.
Citations are always given to the final published version of record which may differ from the version made available in the repository. Wherever possible, a link or DOI to the final version is provided.
For more information please see the FAQ about Open Access at BU or contact Digital Scholarship Services at disc@bu.edu.

Biomimetic total synthesis of (+/-)-griffipavixanthone via a cationic cycloaddition-cyclization cascade
(American Chemical Society, 2017-10-11)We report the concise, biomimetic total synthesis of the dimeric, Diels-Alder natural product griffipavixanthone from a readily accessible prenylated xanthone monomer. The key step utilizes a novel intermolecular [4+2] ... -
Gross fibration, SYZ mirror symmetry, and open Gromov-Witten invariants for toric Calabi-Yau orbifolds
(International Press, 2016)Given a toric Calabi-Yau orbifold X, we define and study a non-toric Lagrangian torus fibration on X, which we call the Gross fibration. We apply the SYZ recipe to a suitable modification of the Gross fibration of X to ... -
From canopies to conversations: the continuing significance of "plausibility structures"
(Bloomsbury Academic, 2018-07-20)Among the most generative – but oft-misunderstood – ideas found in Peter Berger’s magisterial work is the idea that religions depend on plausibility structures. This assertion points toward the social worlds in which ... -
Challenges in development of the American Sign Language Lexicon Video Dataset (ASLLVD) corpus
(2012)The American Sign Language Lexicon Video Dataset (ASLLVD) consists of videos of >3,300 ASL signs in citation form, each produced by 1-6 native ASL signers, for a total of almost 9,800 tokens. This dataset, including multiple ... -
Recognition of nonmanual markers in American Sign Language (ASL) using non-parametric adaptive 2D-3D face tracking
(EUROPEAN LANGUAGE RESOURCES ASSOC-ELRA, 2012-01-01)This paper addresses the problem of automatically recognizing linguistically significant nonmanual expressions in American Sign Language from video. We develop a fully automatic system that is able to track facial expressions ... -

A new web interface to facilitate access to corpora: development of the ASLLRP data access interface
(2012-05)A significant obstacle to broad utilization of corpora is the difficulty in gaining access to the specific subsets of data and annotations that may be relevant for particular types of research. With that in mind, we have ... -
Computer-based tracking, analysis, and visualization of linguistically significant nonmanual events in American Sign Language (ASL)
(EUROPEAN LANGUAGE RESOURCES ASSOC-ELRA, 2014-01-01)Our linguistically annotated American Sign Language (ASL) corpora have formed a basis for research to automate detection by computer of essential linguistic information conveyed through facial expressions and head movements. ... -
A new framework for sign language recognition based on 3D handshape identification and linguistic modeling
(EUROPEAN LANGUAGE RESOURCES ASSOC-ELRA, 2014-01-01)Current approaches to sign recognition by computer generally have at least some of the following limitations: they rely on laboratory conditions for sign production, are limited to a small vocabulary, rely on 2D modeling ...
