There is a lack of consensus on the nature of the process of linking; that is, how the conceptual form of thoughts determines the form of the spoken expressions used to describe them. Prominent theories of argument structure ...

Computer systems that employ autonomous robots have been demonstrated in many areas including entertainment (e.g., robot soccer), defense (e.g., reconnaissance) and homeland security (e.g., disaster rescue). To ensure ...

The widespread employment of the Internet facilitates collaboration and the use of distributed applications. Security concerns, such as controlled access to resources are preeminent. Often different applications employ ...

Grid infrastructures have been central to some of the largest computationally intensive scientific investigations in recent times. As the complexity of computational simulations and models increases, the dependency on ...

This work describes novel methods and techniques to decrease the cost of employing active learning in text categorisation problems. The cost of performing active learning is a combination of labelling effort and computational ...

eLearning practitioners are increasingly adopting more activity based approaches to online learning, as they move away from more traditional content centric approaches in an effort to provide their learners with more ...

Collision Handling has long been a major bottleneck in physically based animation. As scene complexity increases the problem becomes critical enough to prohibit real-time performance in the animation system. Previous ...

A key challenge for information access systems lies in their ability to deliver information that is most suited to a user's needs, preferences and context. Personalised Information Retrieval (PIR) seeks to address this ...

Among the reasons for the success Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) has achieved in tackling supervised learning problems, is certainly the capability to give a ranking to any case stored in the database depending on its similarity ...

Automatic topic segmentation in meeting recordings is intensively investigated due to the fact that topic is a salient discourse structure and it indicates natural reference points for contents. Unlike commonly used ...
