In this system paper we report on our experience while working with a top-down guided 3D CAD model-based vision algorithm, being executed by an autonomous robot on objects (tableware and cutlery) in an Assistive Household environment. Top-down guidance is shaped upon how-to instructions which are parsed and extracted from the wikihow.com webpage one of the world’s largest resource of natural la...

This article is part of a series on Primary Care Research Methods. The article describes types of continuous and categorical data, how to capture data in a spreadsheet, how to use descriptive and inferential statistics and, finally, gives advice on how to present the results in text, figures and tables. The article intends to help Master's level students with writing the data analysis section o...

Objectives: Mallett, Kawabata, Newcombe, Otero-Forero, and Jackson (2007) questioned the validity of some of the items from the SMS, the construct validity of the three types of intrinsic motivation measured by the SMS, and they proposed an integrated regulation subscale to measure the most self-determined form of extrinsic motivation proposed by SDT. In this article, we focus on the following ...

In this paper, we present the methodology we use in the NIST TRECVID'2005 evaluation. We have participated in the High-level Feature Extraction task. Our approach is founded on Fuzzy Decision Trees through the Salammbô software. 1 Structured Abstract Summary Here we present the contribution of the University of Paris 6 at TRECVID 2005 [1]. It concerns only the High-Level Feature Extraction task...

Objective. The task was set to analyze the current situation in relation quantitative and qualitative state of a comfortable urban environment at night, namely lighting pedestrian zone along Kubanskaya Street Astrakhan. Method. study is based on analytical design methods. Result. During calculations, areas were identified that did not meet standards for night. To achieve this goal, project has ...

abstract this study investigated the validity of processability theory proposed by pienemann (1998/2015) among iranian efl learners’ oral performance. the theory defines six procedural stages for learners in the process of second language acquisition. in order to conduct the study, 10 intermediate efl learners were selected based on their performance on oxford placement test. then, they partici...

In order to enhance analysis of synthetic health data of the IEEE VAST Challenge 2010, we introduce an interactive Visual Analytics tool called FilooT designed as a part of the Interactive Multi-genomic Analysis System (IMAS) project. In this paper, we described different interactive views of FilooT: Tabular View for exploring and comparing genetic sequences, Matrix View for sorting sequences a...

A Semantic Decision Table (SDT) provides a means to capture and examine decision makers’ concepts, as well as a tool for refining their decision knowledge and facilitating knowledge sharing in a scalable manner. One challenge SDT faces is to organize decision resources represented in a tabular format based on the user’s needs at different levels. It is important to make it self organized and au...

Crowdsourcing platforms such as Amazon’s Mechanical Turk and MobileWorks offer great potential for users to solve computationally difficult problems with human agents. However, the quality of crowdsourcing responses is directly tied to the task description. Creating high-quality tasks today requires significant expertise, which prevents novice users from receiving reasonable results without ite...
