Although a caregiver tries to be consistent while she teaches a baby, it is not guaranteed that she never makes errors. This situation is also true with a digital game, during which the human player needs to teach a non-player character (NPC). In this work, we report how a teacher can successfully train the Developmental Networks (DNs) while she cannot guarantee an error-free sequence of motor-...

The purpose of this study was to examine changes in knee extensor strength and knee extension angle during wal...

In this work we address the problem of dealing with data inconsistencies while integrating data sets derived from multiple autonomous relational databases. The fundamental assumption in the classical relational model is that data is consistent and hence no support is provided for dealing with inconsistent data. Due to this limitation of the classical relational model, the semantics for detectin...
