In this paper we present a system, called U-interactive, that provides spontaneous interactions between human and surrounding objects in heterogenous ubiquitous computing environments. Our U-interactive system introduces a virtual map, which contains interactive objects around a user in each ubiquitous environment. In the virtual map, each interactive object is tagged with geographic informatio...

Visual attributes are high-level semantic description of visual data that are close to the language of human. They have been intensively used in various applications such as image classification [1,2], active learning [3,4], and interactive search [5]. However, the usage of attributes in dimensionality reduction has not been considered yet. In this work, we propose to utilize relative attribute...

Software quality should be evaluated from different perspectives; we highlight the internal and external ones (ISO/IEC, 2002). Specially, internal quality evaluation depends on the software architecture (or design) and programming aspects rather than on the product behaviour. On the other hand, architectural evaluation methods tend to apply scenarios for assessing the architecture respect to qu...

Existing interactive visualization tools for deep learning are mostly applied to the training, debugging, and refinement of neural network models working on natural images. However, visual analytics lacking specific application x-ray image classification with multiple structural attributes. In this paper, we present an system domain scientists visually study attributes scattering It allows inte...

We present an interactive system, which allows the user to produce drawings in a variety of traditional styles. It takes as input an image and performs semi-automatic tonal modeling. Our system shifts tedious technical aspects to the computer side, while providing the user with freedom on the creative and aesthetic side. The user has low-level control over stroke placement, and high-level contr...

Anonymous credentials are protocols in which users obtain certificates from organizations and subsequently demonstrate their possession in such a way that transactions carried out by the same user cannot be linked. We present an anonymous credential scheme with non-interactive proofs of credential possession where credentials are associated with a number of attributes. Following recent results ...

The present study explores the sources and consequences of fulfilling six fundamental human needs, namely Autonomy, Relatedness, Competence, Stimulation, Influence, and Security, through using interactive products and media. Each need refers to a distinct set of issues, such as according product attributes (e.g., "flexibility") and experiential consequences (e.g., "freedom of choice"). Besides ...

in order to obtain high yielded and tolerant to drought stress maize hybrid a breeding program was started in safiabad agricultural research center in the 1999 and a few s6 lines attained in 2005. then interactive components were created and evaluated in the preliminary and semi-finals experiment during two consecutive years. after preliminary studies, nine hybrids were selected which they were...

Psycholinguistic studies often look at the production of referring expressions in interactive settings, but so far few referring expression generation algorithms have been developed that are sensitive to earlier references in an interaction. Rather, such algorithms tend to rely on domain-dependent preferences for both content selection and linguistic realization. We present three experiments sh...
