OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe interactive information about continence health promotion for women that is available on Web sites identified by popular search engines or health/medical search engines or that is available on community-based or select health organizations' Web sites. METHODS We used a variety of search services to search the Web for sites that disseminated ...

This paper presents an efficient algorithm for interactive image segmentation that responds to 1-bit user feedback. The goal of this type of segmentation is to propose a sequence of yes-or-no questions to the user. Then, according to the 1-bit answers from the user, the segmentation algorithm progressively revises the questions and the segments, so that the segmentation result can approach the ...

Abstract. Data visualization and iterative/interactive data mining are growing rapidly in attention, both in research as well as in industry. However, integrated methods and tools that combine advanced visualization and data mining techniques are rare, and those that exist are often specialized to a single problem or domain. In this paper, we introduce a novel generic method for interactive vis...

Good feedback is critical to creativity and learning, yet rare. Many people do not know how to actually provide effective feedback. There is increasing demand for quality feedback – and thus feedback givers – in learning and professional settings. This paper contributes empirical evidence that two interactive techniques – reusable suggestions and adaptive guidance – can improve feedback on crea...

The deployment of versatile robot systems in diverse environments requires intuitive approaches for humans to flexibly teach them new skills. In our present work, we investigate different user feedback types a real movement skill. We compare as star ratings on an absolute scale single roll-outs versus preference-based pairwise comparisons with respective optimization algorithms (i.e., variation...

Virtual Reality (VR) allows engineers to naturally interact with three-dimensional digital models in a threedimensional space. This provides a unique interface between users and computer models not found in traditional desktop environments. Common uses of virtual reality in product design include prototype evaluation, virtual assembly and visualization of engineering analysis results. This work...
