The Puzzle Project is an interactive software system that solves jigsaw puzzles. The voice interface includes speech synthesis and word recognition. The attributes of the puzzle pieces are determined using image processing techniques and wavelet decomposition. Two algorithms are used to solve the puzzles: an expert system and fuzzy logic. This paper describes the steps required to find the solu...

This paper reports on the development of the Interactive Dynamic Stochastic Synthesizer and describes how its implementation of dynamic stochastic synthesis extends previous implementations, in particular with relation to the GENDYN implementation by Iannis Xenakis. The extensions include elaborations of existing features, parameterization to previously hard-coded attributes, new parametric con...

This paper describes research undertaken while developing an interactive game based on a children’s science fiction film. The aim of the project is to develop artificial intelligence agents as characters in the game world which interact with the player around various predetermined scenarios. We describe the development of a representation for agent attributes, and how they affect on-going moods...

I:ZI Miner (sewebar.vse.cz/izi-miner) is an association rule mining system with a user interface resembling a search engine. It brings to the web the notion of interactive pattern mining introduced by the MIME framework at ECML’11 and KDD’11. In comparison with MIME, I:ZI Miner discovers multi-valued attributes, supports the full range of logical connectives and 19 interest measures. A relevanc...

The effect of pretreatment methods (soaking in water, potassium metabisulphite solution, and blanching) and drying methods (sun and oven) on some quality attributes of flour from ten varieties of sweet potato roots were investigated. The quality attributes determined were chemical composition and functional properties. Data obtained were subjected to descriptive statistics, multivariate analysi...

The rapidity with which digital information, particularly video, is being generated, has necessitated the development of tools for efficient search of these media. Content based visual queries have been primarily focused on still image retrieval. In this paper, we propose a novel, interactive system on the Web, based on the visual paradigm, with spatiotemporal attributes playing a key role in v...

Active learning provides useful tools to reduce annotation costs without compromising classifier performance. However it traditionally views the supervisor simply as a labeling machine. Recently a new interactive learning paradigm was introduced that allows the supervisor to additionally convey useful domain knowledge using attributes. The learner first conveys its belief about an actively chos...

the present study investigated the use of interactive metadiscourse resources (imrs) in terms of appropriacy during a process- based writing course by applying qualitative and exploratory methods. moreover, learners' perception was investigated to find out how confident they felt as they were writing and rewriting the drafts. 30 intermediate efl learners were chosen to participate in this study...
