Classical conditioning is a fundamental paradigm in the study of learning and thus in understanding cognitive processes and behaviour, for which we need comprehensive and accurate models. This paper aims at evaluating and comparing a collection of influential computational models of classical conditioning by analysing the models themselves and against one another qualitatively. The results will...

This paper describes an approach towards the interaction with 3D representations of large document collections. The goal was to provide the user with a highly dynamic environment in which even the very mapping strategy to position documents in space can be adjusted by the user depending on the specific task at hand, on his preferences, or on the context. A modification to the FDP algorithm is p...
