Interactive systems are difficult to program, but high-level languages can make the task much simpler. Interactive audio and music systems are a particularly interesting case because signal processing seems to favor a functional language approach while the handling of interactive parameter updates, sound events, and other real-time computation favors a more imperative or object-oriented approac...

In this paper, we define a novel task named interactive gender inference, which aims to utilize interactive text to identify the genders of two interactive users. To address this task, we propose a two stage approach by well incorporating the dependency among the interactive samples sharing identical users. Specifically, we first apply a standard four-category classification algorithm to get a ...

In this paper two external schema generation algorithms are presented. These algorithms are defined in the framework of the new external schema definition methodology for OODBs put forward in (Samos, 1995); they generate an external schema from a set of classes selected from those existing in an external schema definition repository. Their main characteristic is that they avoid the generation o...
