This paper experimentally and quantitatively evaluates three methods of coloring words on presentation slides. These are the method using term-frequency (TF) and inverse document frequency (IDF), the one focusing on the words in the “Conclusion” slide and textboxes (WCT), and the one using TF and WCT. These methods try to identify important words in a presentation slide. After the important words...
This paper tries to clarify the relevance of impression factors of pictures of culturally different people. By using a transformation matrix of the factor loading matrix, the relevance of impression factors of Japanese and Chinese people is clarified. A transformation matrix transforms the factor loading matrix of Japanese people to that of Chinese ones, and vice versa. Here, the impression factors...
This paper describes analysis of perception of people who do not concern in the mottos of schools. We can find school mottos on the web and see advertising their educational policy and philosophy. Students should act as “a student” because some schools make school mottos rules or disciplines of behavior, attitude, and thought for their students to be used in education purpose. On the other hands,...
This paper elaborates the similarities and differences of impression of pictures between Japanese and Chinese. We conducted a questionnaire survey of 32 Chinese college students, asking them to evaluate 40 pictures from their feelings. By comparing the results of Chinese and Japanese, we found several interesting conclusions. First of all, both Chinese males and Japanese males have come up with 5...
This paper tries to clarify the retrieval and playback method considering temporal harmony. In this study, change points of the direction of object movement and the cycle of the motion are used as the accent points of a video clip. Beats are used as synchronization points of a music clip. The music measure is extracted in order to synchronize with the beat at the beginning of the measure. The synchronized...
This paper tried to find the cause of fear by horror games. We prepared two types of horror games whose reality of pictures are changed, and observed the change of autonomic nervous function and the amount of perspiration. As a result, the physiological response to the horror game which has real pictures was scarier. Also, people who are familiar with horror games are scared at several horror scenes...
This paper integrates the human database with the drosophila one, and uses the integrated database to acquire new terms about human diseases/traits automatically. This paper uses ortholog to show the relationship in the gene of two kinds, and compares phenotypic terms of the human and these of the drosophila to discover new terms about human diseases/traits. This paper shows the databases used in...
A mutual retrieval system based on the impression for the multimedia data on the Web is realized. Although this system can retrieve pictures having the impression similar to that of a music piece, it cannot follow the impression change of the music piece. This paper proposes a method to detect change points of the impression of a music piece. The proposed method uses factor scores of the impression...
Similarity retrieval method of plasma emission videos using color and luminosity information has been proposed. This paper revises this method to introduce time series similarity. Plasma emission videos are clustered by using several distances proposed and revised in order to categorize them. The soundness of the proposed methods is clarified through the experiment.
This paper proposes a method to convert a factor score matrix for the cooperation between multiple video retrieval systems based on impression. A matrix transforming the factor loading matrix is used. As a result, we showed that the results of two applications of the factor analysis can satisfactorily be transformed by using the transformation matrix.
This paper proposes a method for measuring human body movement similarity by considering human body motion as a set of 3-dimensional curves representing the changes of direction. This analysis method is used for obtaining similarity values of the body movement of various subjects. Firstly, the performing speed of movements are compared and adjusted. Next, two types of normalized methods, which are...
Lifelog videos, which are the records of a person's daily life as video data, draw attention since various recording devices such as smartphone become widely used. Due to privacy reasons, lifelog videos are usually managed by the owners of the videos although the amount of video data is quite large. This makes it quite difficult to find interesting and impressive scenes from lifelog videos. In order...
The purpose of this paper is to compose music clips satisfying selected ambience on intended melody easily, and to get satisfaction of self-making. The targets are beginners of music theory. To achieve those purposes, we propose the automatic composing system that takes impression words and outlines, which represent melody's profile lines, as inputs. This system makes several arranges and modification...
This paper describes analysis of perception of external people of school about school mottos. Most of schools show their school motto on their web page to advertise their educational policy and philosophy. However, school mottos are sometimes created to make a guideline of behavior, attitude, and thought for their students to be used in education purpose. In this paper, we survey the school motto...
This paper tries to estimate the amounts of sewage flow, which is one of daily life data, for their efficient management. The non-rainy day having good data is called a normal day. Normal days are divided into typical days and irregular ones based on the existence of outliers. Typical days are classified into regular days and non-regular ones also based on the existence of outliers. The amounts of...
The colors of characters suitable to presentation slides were proposed. Here, five color combinations were proposed. A combination has three colors of “Base color,” “Main color,” and “Accent color.” The “Base color” is for the background. The color white is used as the “Base color.” The “Main color” is for the part becoming the frame. The “Accent color” is for the place where we want to emphasize...
This paper proposes an intelligent framework providing benefits for both of an individual and a group. This is called the framework for one and all. This enables systems easily to use the knowledge of the other systems even if the forms of knowledge representations differ. This framework also supports the cooperative work of the system for an individual and that for a group. These capabilities enhance...
In multi-player games with imperfect information, e.g., Poker and Mahjong, they have imperfect information differing from Shogi and Reversi. Therefore, it is difficult to decide optimal movements. In Mahjong, fold is very important, and it is necessary to check predominance between a player's hand and other players' hands. To this end, it is required to estimate the rate arriving at a winning hand...
This paper clarifies the effects of seasons on the impression of pictures and the retrieval requirement of them in order to find the possibility of season adaptation of the retrieval based on the impression of pictures. The same experiments of picture retrieval based on impression are conducted in summer, fall, and winter. The experimental results show that the pictures requested may differ according...
This paper revises the system mutually retrieving visual and audio materials based on impression. Visual (audio, respectively) materials are retrieved only by specifying an audio (visual) material. Visual (audio) materials having similar impression to an audio (visual) material are retrieved. To this end, the scores of the factors representing the impression of visual and audio materials are estimated,...
