The first half of this paper introduces the aim of SAIBA and the functional markup language (FML) from the perspective of the Center for Analysis and Design of Intelligent Agents (CADIA) at Reykjavik University. The second half provides a brief historic overview of the functional representation of communicative intent in a line of communicative humanoids and related systems, starting with Ganda...

In this paper, we demonstrate the application of Fuzzy Markup Language (FML) to construct an FMLbased Dynamic Assessment Agent (FDAA), and we present an FML-based Human–Machine Cooperative System (FHMCS) for the game of Go. The proposed FDAA comprises an intelligent decision-making and learning mechanism, an intelligent game bot, a proximal development agent, and an intelligent agent. The intel...

Fluorescence microlymphography (FML) is an almost atraumatic technique used to visualize the superficial skin network of initial lymphatics through the intact skin of man. Visualization was performed with an incident light fluorescence microscope following subepidermal injection of minute amounts of FITC-dextran 150,000 using microneedles. Emanating from the bright dye depot, the surrounding ne...

MIT students have become addicted to two new popular websites, MIT FML (http://mitfml.com/) and I Saw You MIT (http://isawyou. mit.edu/), created this past semester. Filled with anonymous, quirky, Twitter-like posts the two sites were designed to entertain, bond, and poke fun at the MIT community. “We are living in such a stressful and yet entertaining atmosphere, it would be a great idea to ha...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study is to investigate the rate and degree of ocular-hypertensive response to topical steroids in Chinese children. DESIGN The study design was an institutional, randomized, clinical trial. PARTICIPANTS A total of 19 consecutive patients were studied. INTERVENTION Topical steroids were administered to Chinese children younger than 10 years of age who underwen...

We propose an extension of the FML-APML specification to match our needs for specifying the communicative strategies of an engaging interactive toy. This intelligent toy uses various strategies defined in previous work to try to engage the child in a long-term relationship. We have identified several useful tags that are not yet incorporated in FML, in particular, tags to represent actions, emo...

We discuss our current architecture for the generation of natural language and non-verbal behavior in ICT virtual humans. We draw on our experience developing this architecture to present our current perspective on several issues related to the standardization of FML and to the SAIBA framework more generally. In particular, we discuss our current use, and non-use, of FML-inspired representation...
