Abstract It is a well-known fact that there gap between the theoretical energy performance and actual use of building. The behaviour occupants has large influence on this use. Within BIM4Ren H2020 project we developed feedback tool for gives insight in effect amount required heating cooling. front-end which occupant can see their current behaviour, as well By changing initial virtually, they wi...

An important application of interactive machine learning is extending or amplifying the cognitive and physical capabilities of a human. To accomplish this, machines need to learn about their human users’ intentions and adapt to their preferences. In most current research, a user has conveyed preferences to a machine using explicit corrective or instructive feedback; explicit feedback imposes a ...

Considering the popularity of the Internet, an automatic interactive feedback system for Elearning websites is becoming increasingly desirable. However, computers still have problems understanding natural languages, especially the Chinese language, firstly because the Chinese language has no space to segment lexical entries (its segmentation method is more difficult than that of English) and se...

Previous studies on nanomanipulation using Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) go through the scandesign-manipulation-scan cycle, in which an operator does not have any real-time visual feedback during manipulation. In this paper, a simple model of tip-substrate-object interactive forces has been presented for the qualitative and quantitative analysis. Based on this model, the real-time tip-substrate...

This paper provides an introduction to interactive information retrieval--the study of human interaction with information retrieval systems. Interactive information retrieval may be contrasted with the "system-centered" view of information retrieval in which changes to information retrieval system variables are manipulated in isolation from users in laboratory situations. The paper elucidates c...

The TREC Legal Track 2009 features an Interactive Task that is designed to replicate real-world challenges in producing a collection of responsive documents from a large collection of documents. The task required us to produce responsive documents from any of the seven topics, which are production requests. Clearwell Systems incorporated novel methods for producing a responsive collection using...

We compare a user-de®ned passage feedback (pf) system to a document feedback (df) system. Df employed the adaptive linear model for retrieval, while pf used weighted query expansion based on positive and negative feedback. Twenty-four searchers performed the same six tasks in varying search and systemorder per TREC-8 guidelines. We hypothesized that pf, which featured interactive query expansio...

In our TREC-8 interactive experiment, we compared the effectiveness of a user-defined passage feedback system with a conventional document feedback system. The passage feedback system (pf) employed user-defined passages to formulate a feedback query, while the document feedback (df) system utilized document-level relevance judgments. The df system employed the adaptive linear model for retrieva...

Cravy Brush is an interactive toothbrush attachment that helps young children (3-8 years old) develop a daily habit of brushing teeth. The attachment displays an interactive game that provides real-time visual and auditory feedback. In addition to feedback, Cravy Brush also provides virtual rewards when children brush properly. Alarm feature calls for children to brush their teeth twice a day a...

An important feature of remote controlled machines is the realistic three-dimensional (3D) modeling system for providing information feedback to the remote operator and facilitating remote operation. This paper describes a system for creating realistic 3D models of actual construction environments for the purpose of improving and extending the capabilities of interactive visual feedback between...
