We present results from a web-based experiment conducted to assess the effect of Twitter metadata on decision making in content consumption. Participants were presented with information concerning two tweets and asked which they would prefer to read. Analysis of the results shows that recognition of the author as being within the readers local network is highly influential in the decision to read...
Often the AI techniques for decision making used in commercial games are predictable and unadaptive. Arguably, this causes a lack of realism for the players. We believe that emotions are a vital part in the creation of interesting and believable non-player characters for games. In this paper, we present an extension to behavior trees that incorporates emotions into the decision making. Specifically,...
To manage the increasing volume of data per time unit, achievements in information processing and artificial intelligence were made. But still the complex processes of human perception and scenario recognition are not fully understood and still far from implementation in technical applications. The contribution of this article to the field of cognitive automation is the concept of prediction for perceptual-...
In virtual worlds, character credibility suffers from an increasing discrepancy between visual realism, physical modelling quality and behaviour simulation weakness. As behaviour credibility is firmly embedded in the eye of the human observer, it needs to be as close to human expectation as possible. In this study, we define a learning process able to build rule-based behaviour from the observation...
How to describe and measure unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) autonomy is of primary importance in the field of autonomous control of UAVs. One of the most challenging obstacles lies in the reasonable description framework of UAV autonomy. In this paper, the existing typical classification models of autonomous control levels are presented and compared firstly. With the construction of task-level model...
Public participation is necessary for democratic and scientific public project decision. E-government network provides technical feasibility to the efficient and low cost public participation. In this paper, the information flow covering whole process of public project is analyzed under E-government environment. Meta-synthesis is applied as an effective method to solve the complex problems of public...
Real-world data mining is a complex problem-solving system. In real data mining applications, more and more researchers realized the need from traditional data mining to knowledge discovery to deliver useful knowledge for the business decision-making. Thus, actionable knowledge discovery is introduced during the context. This study draws on analysis of the applications of actionable knowledge discovery...
Human-machine environment evaluation of digital workshop involves physical, chemical, psychological, social environment for the workshop and many other factors. Attribution reductions of rough set theory reduces some redundant targets which are less important to human environmental assessment, thus to obtain the important index and to improve the ergonomic effect of the environmental layout of the...
New systems can be created by assembling a set of elementary services provided by various stakeholders in a service composition. Service composition is not a trivial endeavor and several composition methods exist. Yet, these methods are hardly adopted by the field, as they need a set of well-defined and well- described services and are not able to deal with incomplete information and unambiguous descriptions...
Information and communication technology (ICT) for post-disaster management of critical infrastructures functions best when its design follows from a solid understanding of the sociotechnical systems that it is meant to support. Yet as is evident from past and more current research, there are significant gaps in scientific understanding concerning how ICT should be designed, used and evaluated in...
Social relationship is explained under the fuzzy set and fuzzy logic theory. A model for describing the individual nature of mind in the fuzzy environment is presented first, then extended for groups, couples, and social relationship dealing with both perfect and approximate reasoning. The fuzzy social relationship as proposed here also devise that goals of one individual may be seen as constraints...
