In this paper we describe a study of the technique of Wizard of Oz (WoZ) in perspectives of maintaining the simulation consistence for domestic communication evaluations. This study employs evaluation methodologies such like heuristic evaluations and video analysis to compare and review the consistence during WoZ experiments. In specific, we address this consistence study through rapid prototyp...

User modeling is critical for developing personalized services in industry. A common way user to learn representations that can be distinguished by their interests or preferences. In this work, we focus on universal representation model. The obtained are expected contain rich information, and applicable various downstream applications without further modifications (e.g., preference prediction p...

Categorization studies have focused on the importance of a variety of perceptual properties (shape, size, weight). The present study explored whether the softness or hardness of an object might influence the way we categorize and consider category members. Of additional interest was whether information on consistence is automatically activated and whether it is modulated by the kind of task and...

Simon argued that the semi-classical theory of gravity, unless with some of its solutions excluded, is unacceptable for reasons of both self-consistency and experiment, and that it has to be replaced by a constrained semi-classical theory. We examined whether the evidence is conclusive. PACS Number: 04.20-q

In this paper, we introduce quasi serializability, a correctness criterion for concurrency control in heterogeneous distributed database systems (HDDBSs). Quasi serializability is a weaker criterion than serializability in that it only controls execution of global transactions. Quasi serializability is suited to HDDBS applications where local concurrency controllers (LeGs) maintain serializabil...
