  • Exploring the Effects of Voice Humanness and Canned Laughter on Robot Comedy Performance

    Creator:
    Bui, Timothy G.
    Abstract:
    With robots becoming increasingly commonplace in today’s society, we need to find ways to help robots to become better accepted. One common method used to gain acceptance and build rapport is through the use of humor. Currently, research in robot comedy exists, albeit it is fairly limited. Our goal with...

  • EXE, an expert system shell for agricutural applications

    Creator:
    Currans, Kevin
    Abstract:
    This paper discusses the design, construction, and use of a prototype expert system shell, EXE. EXE is non-conventional in that it does not provide a traditional forward or backward chaining inference mechanism. Instead, it allows the domain expert to control the logic flow of the system in a dynamic fashion....

  • Sequential supervised learning and conditional random fields

    Creator:
    Ashenfelter, Adam J.
    Abstract:
    Supervised learning is concerned with discovering the relationship between example sets of features and their corresponding classes. The traditional supervised learning formulation assumes that all examples are independent from one another. The order of the examples contains no information. Nonetheless, many problems have a sequential nature. Classifiers for these problems...

  • Digital library software architectures : TeachEngineering case study

    Creator:
    Suryadevara, Venkata Satya Gokul
    Abstract:
    Digital libraries are digitally accessible, organized collections of knowledge. Although under this broad definition any digitally accessible data set might be considered a digital library, the term is generally reserved for collections whose structures are carefully documented and made available in the form of so-called metadata. There is no specific...

  • Assessing mental workload and situation awareness in the evaluation of real-time, critical user interfaces

    Creator:
    Strawn, Jordan J.
    Abstract:
    While there are many ways to evaluate a user interface design, the user's mental workload and situation awareness (SA) are particularly important considerations in the supervisory control of safety-critical systems. Typically, operators of these systems must monitor high-volume, time-sensitive status information. Interface design for this domain can be challenging and...

  • Redesigning the Structure and Access Paths of Databases for Effective and Efficient Query Processing

    Creator:
    Ghadakchi, Vahid
    Abstract:
    Many database users are not familiar with formal query languages, the concept of schema, or the exact content of their database. Thus, it is challenging for these users to formulate their information needs over semi-structured and structured databases. To address this problem, researchers have proposed usable query interfaces over which...

  • The inclusion of expertise in a decision support system for strategic decision making

    Creator:
    Goul, Kenneth Michael
    Abstract:
    A decision support system (DSS) incorporating domain expertise guides, tutors, and consults a decision maker in opportunity, problem, and crisis identification activities. The objective for the system is to promote improved decision making. Using an "Independent Groups" design, an experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of DSS use...
