The task of the knowledge-based presentation system WIP is the generation of a variety of multimodal documents from an input consisting of a formal description of the communicative intent of a planned presentation. WIP generates illustrated texts that are customized for the intended audience and situation. We present the architecture of WIP and introduce as its major components the presentation...

Course generation knowledge, i.e., how to assemble a sequence of learning objects which is adapted to a learner’s goals, competencies and preferences, is hard to assess and expensive to formalize, at least if it is based on pedagogical principles. On the other hand, once a course generator has been developed, it allows generating personalized courses for individual users at a relatively low cos...

Efficient zero-knowledge proofs of knowledge (ZK-PoK) are basic building blocks of many practical cryptographic applications such as identification schemes, group signatures, and secure multiparty computation. Currently, first applications that critically rely on ZK-PoKs are being deployed in the real world. The most prominent example is Direct Anonymous Attestation (DAA), which was adopted by ...

This paper describes a road mapping system for knowledge generation, storage, and sharing. It illustrates the theory and practice of road mapping. How the system is being used is also presented in a step-by-step format. The paper ends with discussing the process of generation, storage, and sharing of knowledge.

The paper proposes an architecture for advanced NLG systems that handle narratives. Special attention is paid to document planning. Domain modelling and meta-knowledge modelling for a narratological structurer are exemplified.

ABSTRACT The Millennial Generation, also known as Generation Y, is the demographic cohort following Generation X, and is generally regarded to be composed of those individuals born between 1980 and 2000. They are the first to grow up in an environment where health-related information is widely available by internet, TV and other electronic media, yet we know very little about the scope of their...

It’s the night before his organic chemistry examination, but John isn’t ready for the test. Sure, he studied all week for the test, but he still doesn’t have a firm grasp of all the material and he knows his professors wouldn’t be happy with him if he woke them up now, at 1:30 A.M. So, he sits down at his PC and launches his browser, guiding it to the “Question Generator” homepage where he logs...

We show how it is possible for two parties to cooperate in generating the parameters for an RSA encryption system in such a w a y that neither individually has the ability to decrypt enciphered data. In order to decrypt data the two parties instead follow the cooperative procedure described.

The knowledge representation is an important factor in natural language generation since it limits the semantic capabilities of the generation system. This paper identifies several information types in a knowledge representation that can be used to generate meaningful responses to questions about database structure. Creating such a knowledge representation, however, is a long and tedious proces...
