Intention Extraction from Text Messages

Identifying intentions of users plays a crucial role in providing better user services, such as web-search and automated message-handling. There is a significant literature on extracting speakers’ intentions and speech acts from spoken words, and this paper proposes a novel approach on extracting intentions from non-spoken words, such as web-search query texts, and text messages. Unlike spoken ...

Interacting with Virtual Environments using a Magnetic

A high-performance magnetic levitation haptic interface has been developed to enable the user to interact dynamically with simulated environments by holding a levitated structure and directly feeling its computed force and motion responses. The haptic device consists of a levitated body with six degrees of freedom and motion ranges of 5 mm and 3.5 degrees in all directions. The current device c...

Interacting in Multi-Display Environments

With the introduction of mobile devices as well as large public displays, we are surrounded by multiple displays at any time during the day. In addition, interacting with displayed information on one screen at a time is very common. The interaction between multiple displays simultaneously is rather difficult due to reachability, hard-to-use techniques or limited input capabilities. In my work I...

Integrating Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation with Urban planning for a Livable city in Tehran

Climate change impacts are seen within growing numbers of cities in low- and middle-income countries, so there is growing interest in the adaptation and mitigation plans and programs put forward by city authorities. This paper aims to provide a better understanding of the constraints which cities face them in this subject by analyzing the case of Tehran. City has a commitment to decentralizatio...
