Procedural modeling allows for an automatic generation of large amounts similar assets, but there is limited control over the generated output. We address this problem by introducing Automatic Differentiable Modeling (ADPM). The forward procedural model generates a final editable model. user modifies output interactively, and modifications are transferred back to as its parameters solving inver...

This paper introduces a new notion of a “procedural” value for cooperative TU games. A procedural value is determined by an underlying procedure of sharing marginal contributions to coalitions formed by players joining in random order. We consider procedures under which players can only share their marginal contributions with their predecessors in the ordering, and study the set of all resultin...

Procedural modeling deals with (semi-)automatic content generation by means of a program or procedure. Among other advantages, its data compression and the potential to generate a large variety of detailed content with reduced human intervention, have made procedural modeling attractive for creating virtual environments increasingly used in movies, games, and simulations. We survey procedural m...

The authors propose that conceptual and procedural knowledge develop in an iterative fashion and that improved problem representation is 1 mechanism underlying the relations between them. Two experiments were conducted with 5thand 6th-grade students learning about decimal fractions. In Experiment 1, children's initial conceptual knowledge predicted gains in procedural knowledge, and gains in pr...

Physically based sound models have a “natural” setting in dimensional space: a physical model has a shape and an extent and can be given a position relative to other models. In our experimental system, we place procedurally animated agents in a world of spatially situated physical models. The agents move in the same space as the models and can interact with them, playing the models and changing...

This paper presents a study aiming to analyse the design strategies of experts in object-oriented programming. We report an experiment conducted with four experts. Each subject solved three problems. Our results show that three strategies may be used in program design according to the solution structure. An object-centred strategy and a function-centred strategy are used when the solution has a...

DiaLaw is a dialogical model of legal justification. An important characteristic of the formal and implemented model DiaLaw is that both logic-based arguments and mere convincing statements can be modelled. The support of both structural (logic-based) arguments and procedural arguments (mere convincing statements) is expressed by different levels in the dialog. In this paper so-called dialog tr...
