This paper clarifies the effect of hearing music on reading. This paper focuses on text data especially novels. Impression changes through presenting a music material in reading a novel are clarified. It is also clarified the relationship of the effects on deep impression aroused by harmonic feeling between text and music materials. First, the impression evaluation experiment is conducted with using...
The Impression Evaluation Method by Space (IEMS) and its analysis method focusing on the peaks of darkness called IAMS_PD have been proposed. The IEMS uses a plane containing impression words as the Kansei space. The impression of an object is specified by circling the areas matching the impressions. The degree of matching the impression is expressed by painting color. We can analyze characteristic...
The semantic generalization was proposed. This generalization makes it possible for a kind of class to have attributes by considering the semantics of the attributes of the subclasses even if there is no common attribute in the subclasses. The attributes generalized can be specified by users rather than automatically decided. Validity of the generalization is examined by using a kind of semantics...
This paper proposes a method for selecting respondents who can give an appropriate answer to a question, in order to eliminate mismatches between the questioners and respondents at question-and-answer sites. The possibility of detecting respondents capable of appropriately answering a newly posted question is examined and confirmed. Based on this, the proposed method uses the number of appearances...
This paper clarifies the effect of color on the impression of a character. In experiments, we used four letters (B, H, N, O) as the characters. These characters are considered to represent groups categorized by shape. Black, blue, green, red, and yellow were the colors tested. The colored characters were evaluated through 24 impression word pairs. The results showed a significant difference between...
This paper introduces the concept of fields for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of the analysis of big data. We focus specifically on time series data. Data are treated as points in a space. A field is a named subspace within that space. A field may restrict the position of a point. The subspace of a field may change according to the points included in the field. It may also be nested. After...
This paper proposes a method of determining the optimal number of clusters dividing the multiple transformations for the purpose of the efficient processing of query against the results of applying the transformations to time series. In this paper, the moving average is used as a transformation for simplicity. The model of query time to the number of clusters is constructed for determining the optimal...
In order to promote the utilization of lifelog videos, an effective retrieval framework of the emotional scenes, which are considered to be important scenes, is proposed in this paper. The proposed method is based on facial expression recognition since the emotional scenes can be detected by taking the facial expressions into consideration. Most of conventional facial expression recognition methods...
This paper proposes a parallel indexing scheme of a large amount of data in order to resolve the issues about time limitation. Three kinds of computing-nodes are introduced. These are reception-nodes, representative-nodes, and normalnodes. A reception-node receives data for insertion. A representative-node receives queries. Normal-nodes retrieve data from indexes. Here, three kinds of indexes are...
This paper proposes an analysis method of the evaluation results obtained through the Impression Evaluation Method by Space (IEMS). The IEMS uses a plane containing impression words as the Kansei space. The impression of an object is specified by circling the areas matching the impression. The degree of matching the impression is expressed by painting color. As the impression words can be moved and/or...
Genetic Programming (GP), a method of evolutionary computation, is used in producing a variety of programs. In order to generate a procedural program, handling variables is required. It increases the number of combinations of generated programs. This paper proposes a method including the automatic initialization of variables and decreasing the number of combinations of them. For this propose, two...
This paper proposes the system enabling users to use heterogeneous databases in an integrated manner without any conversion and servers. In order to treat a variety of sources in a unified manner, this system is realized by using Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) in accessing databases on the user's computer. It also joins and/or projects them as required. The syntax identifying a kind of database...
This paper tries to generate an appropriate concurrency control program by using genetic programming (GP). In GP, a program is represented with a tree. By limiting the usage of variables to one of two variables, an appropriate program could be generated. This method, however, could not create all of concurrency control programs. This paper extends the variable to bring more information than before...
This paper discusses the stimulation of the subject's strong emotion in listening music and the relationships between the impression or the strong emotion and acoustic feature values. Impressions of music are classified into five types: "charity," "nobility," "nostalgia," "passion," and "joy." First, using fifteen classical music pieces, an impression...
Archaeologists independently store their excavation information. They have the information of excavations carried out by themselves. Excavation information cannot be opened until verification and research are completed. On the other hand, many archaeologists want to analyze the distribution of relics and/or remains. This paper proposes the architecture of the system sharing and displaying summary...

It has been shown that pauses, which are considered to be important for transmitting traditional skills, can easily be obtained from the movement of a worker or a player by adjusting several parameters of the similarity test. This paper quantitatively confirms the validity of the values of the parameters. By using these parameter values, pauses in tea ceremony are tried to be derived. It is shown...
To eliminate mismatches between the intentions of questioners and respondents of Question and Answer (Q&A) sites, we have clarified that the impression of the statements could be captured by nine factors, and the factor scores could be estimated from the feature values of the statements. Objective scores of the statements could be estimated fairly good, and that those of subjective statements...
This paper tries to derive fundamental movements, which are considered to be important for transmitting traditional skills, from the movement of a worker or a player. The movement is represented with a sequence of the sum of the speeds of the parts of a body. The fundamental one is captured as similar changes of the speeds appearing everywhere. The fundamental movements are obtained by focusing on...
The semantic generalization and the semantic specialization have been proposed. These enable a shape graph, which corresponds to a relation schema in the relational data model, to have elements which are different from those of the original shape graphs, but are semantically related to them. To this end, viewpoints and relationship lattices have been introduced as the hierarchies of concepts and relationships...
