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...

Interactive fiction (often called “IF”) is a venerable thread of creative computing that includes Adventure, Zork, and the computer game The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy as well as innovative recent work. These programs are usually known as “games,” appropriately, but they can also be rich forms of text-based computer simulation, dialog systems, and examples of computational literary art. T...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Content based medical image retrieval (CBMIR) systems enable fast diagnosis through quantitative assessment of the visual information and is an active research topic over the past few decades. Most of the state-of-the-art CBMIR systems suffer from various problems: computationally expensive due to the usage of high dimensional feature vectors and complex classifier/clus...

Due to the enormous increase in the data, exploring and analyzing them is increasingly important but difficult to achieve. Information visualization and visual data mining can help to deal with this. Visual data exploration has a high potential and many applications such as fraud detection and data mining will use information visualization technology for an improved data analysis. The advantage...

Interactive data mining focuses on efficient and effective humancomputer interactions for data analysis purposes. An interactive system is an integration of a human user and a computer machine. ICS, an interactive classification system, is implemented to demonstrate the power of interactive data mining. The interaction is mutually beneficial to users and machines. This article describes the arc...

(Riedl, Saretto, & Young 2003) describes narrative mediation, a plan-based technique for addressing human user actions that conflict with the story structure maintained by computer-controlled agents within interactive narrative environments. This technique is used to generate real-time system responses to unanticipated user actions while balancing user freedom with story coherence. Narrative me...

We have been investigating an interactive approach for Open-domain QA (ODQA) and have constructed a spoken interactive ODQA system, SPIQA. The system derives disambiguating queries (DQs) that draw out additional information. To test the efficiency of additional information requested by the DQs, the system reconstructs the user’s initial question by combining the addition information with questi...
