While computer games have become more sophisticated, most computer characters follow a limited static script in their interaction with the user. We advocate a knowledge acquisition approach to building characters and use modelbased classification techniques as our learning mechanism. Model-based classifiers can be readily integrated with existing rule-based approaches for building computer char...

We examined the hypothesis that encoding Chinese characters through stroke-by-stroke animation produces orthographic learning that is different from conventional static displays. We used behavioral responses and ERPs to index the incremental learning that occurs of character forms, and the attention allocation to dynamic vs. static encodings. Adult, native English speakers learned form-meaning ...

Pulsed characters are temporary biochemical, cellular, or structural changes produced in response to environmental or biotic challenge. For example, response to parasitic attack develops as a pulse of defensive chemicals or cells that typically decay after the parasite has been controlled. Almost all theories for the genetic variability of characters assume measurements on static characters. Th...

We present a network analysis of a literary text, Alice in Wonderland. We build novel types of networks in which links between characters are different types of social events. We show that analyzing networks based on these social events gives us insight into the roles of characters in the story. Also, static network analysis has limitations which become apparent from our analysis. We propose th...

Handwriting recognition is a traditional and natural approach for personal authentication. Compared to signature verification, text-independent writer identification has gained more attention for its advantage of denying imposters in recent years. Dynamic features and static features of the handwriting are usually adopted for writer identification separately. For textindependent writer identifi...
