Programming by demonstration systems acquire procedural knowledge from examples, and then use that knowledge to execute the learned procedure on new instances. We present an architecture, called version space algebra, for learning this type of procedural knowledge, and describe an implemented system for programming by demonstration in the text-editing domain. We present results showing the syst...

It has been shown that for k = 8 or 9, there exists a BIBD(v, k, 1) for all positive integers v == 1 or k (mod k(k-1)), with some possible exceptions. We show that such designs exist for 49 of these exceptional values. A balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) with parameters (v, k, 1) is a pair (X, A) where X is a v-set and A is a family of k-subsets (where 2 < k < v) called blocks, such that ...

This paper describes Familiar, a domain-independent programming by demonstration system for automating iterative tasks in existing, unmodified applications on a popular commercial platform. Familiar is domainindependent in an immediate and practical sense: it requires no domain knowledge from the developer and works immediately with new applications as soon as they are installed. Based on the A...

stylistics is one of the main trends that try to look for beauties in the text. it interested in studying literary texts based on an objective approach for analyzing texts to find the beauties. we can get through that by analyzing the language and rhetorical phenomena in the text in terms of the three levels, vocal, synthetic, and indicative. style is one rhetorical face in the book nahjo al-ba...

irony is one of the important branches of expression and creation in the word is ofthe most beautiful tricks. this article aims to analyze the functions of irony in the introduction of shahnameh. for this section, the ironic, rhetorical than other techniques, the most frequency dard.knayh extracted, respectively, of the current knayە, irony of adjectives and have the highest frequency, the curr...

One of the most natural ways to acquire procedural knowledge is to watch somebody performing a number of actions and try to abstract this observed action sequence in order to make it applicable to a wider range of situations. This abstraction process can be significantly facilitated if the performing agent gives additional hints e.g. on the reasons for choosing a particular action or dealing wi...

For every v ≡ 5 (mod 6) there exists a pairwise balanced design (PBD) of order v with exactly one block of size 5 and the rest of size 3. We will refer to such a PBD as a PBD(5∗, 3). A flower in a PBD(5∗, 3) is the set of all blocks containing a given point. If (S,B) is a PBD(5∗, 3) and F is a flower, we will write F ∗ to indicate that F contains the block of size 5. The flower intersection pro...

Shape matching is a popular method for simulating deformable objects in real time as it is fast and stable at large time steps. Although shape matching can simulate large elastic deformation and ductile fracturing, until now, they are limited to scenarios with relatively small plastic deformation. In this work, we present a method for simulating deformable solids undergoing large plastic deform...

This Paper presents improvements done to a Programming by Demonstration(PbD)system in order to handle complex one and two hand manipulations. In order to do this, functional roles were added to the systems knowledge base. According to them a probability density function expressing the relationship between the manipulated objects has been set up. Since one object can fulfill several functional r...
