We have observed increasing interest in visual analytics tools and their applications in investigative analysis. Despite the growing interest and substantial studies regarding the topic, understanding the major roadblocks of using such tools from novice users' perspectives is still limited. Therefore, we attempted to identify such “visual analytic roadblocks” for novice users in an investigative analysis...
Metaphor is the result of human mind conceptualizing the world. In many previous studies about metaphor, space and time are thought to be the two most fundamental concepts in cognition, by which other concepts are constructed. Nevertheless, discussion of the metaphoric structuring of time in natural language is rare, not to mention the time concept in Chinese. This paper aims to evaluate whether the...
If robots are to cooperate with humans in an increasingly human-like manner, then significant progress must be made in their abilities to observe and learn to perform novel goal directed actions in a flexible and adaptive manner. The current research addresses this challenge. In CHRIS.I [1], we developed a platform-independent perceptual system that learns from observation to recognize human actions...
The present study examined the effect of extrinsic motivation on temporal interval production. Observers were asked to produce the duration of 2.5 sec as accurately as possible, and gained or lost a certain amount of score after each trial. The amount of provided scores varied with the color of target: red or green circle was assigned to high or low scores. We found that the higher amount of expected...
Programming is a problematic subject to learn due to various factors that impact teaching, learning, and the environment. This research is concerned with creating a suitable measurement which could be used to compare flow levels achieved between weak and strong novice students, where flow is a state of mind where people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter. It is expected...
The impact of video games on minors has aroused general concern for decades. The amount of studies addressing violent video games is extensive. Previous research has well documented that playing violent video games is linked to increases in aggressive cognition, aggressive affect, and aggressive behavior, and decreases in prosocial behavior like empathy and helping behavior. In contrast, there has...
This paper proposes a human detection method using variational mean field approximation for occlusion reasoning. In the method, parts of human objects are detected individually using template matching. Initial detection hypotheses with spatial layout information are represented in a graphical model and refined through a Bayesian estimation. In this paper, mean field method is employed for such an...
Adequate requirements validation can prevent errors from propagating into later development phases, and eventually improve the quality of software systems. However, validating natural language requirements is often difficult and error-prone. An effective means of requirements validation for embedded software systems has been to build a working model of the requirements in the form of a physical prototype...
We are interested in dynamically setting up communication between agents which aim to minimize the communication load, based on formal ontologies and on the proper use of interaction mechanisms. To overcome the reasoning complexity we create a simplified ontology version by removing OWL constructs such as inverse roles, nominals, number restrictions.
Based on WordNet, we do some research on the co-occurrence phenomena of semantic relations in objective knowledge system. According to the structural characteristics of semantic relations in objective knowledge system, a co-occurrence degree function for pairs of semantic relations was proposed. We calculate co-occurrence degree from the data obtained by making statistical tests. Some useful conclusions...
In this paper, an ontology is regarded as an information system in formal concept analysis. Then, based on theories of concepts, a formal context in ontologies defined by a set of properties is conceptualized as a concept with the extent and the intent. There are two kinds of properties implied by a formal context: one is the set of properties in its intent and another is the set of default properties...
In order to help the audience know better about the acknowledgement of auto bionic modeling, this thesis summarizes such research theories as Gestalt visual rules and mediocre visual effect theory that conform to the aesthetic rules of visual perception of the mankind by means of the analysis about the visual cognitive process of auto modeling and the study on the visual cognitive characteristics...
Various attempts have been made throughout the history of artificial intelligence (AI) to incorporate emotional support in intelligent systems. Still some paths are left untraveled. This paper presents an attempt to model emotions as a complex system based on the hypothesis that mind state can be considered as an emergent phenomena resulting from autonomous, interactive, elementary entities called...
Firstly this paper outlined the PIN-bonding sport training theory, then from three dimensions the paper elaborated its basic connotation via literature-material method, logical analytic method and so on. These three dimensions are discriminative dimension of P(physical ability), I(intelligence), N(non-intelligence), sport training influencing dimension and their relation dimension. Eleven groups,...
In order to study the value-orientation of the physical education and curriculum, the subjectivity physical education curriculum was taken as dominant educational thought. It requires that the physical education and curriculum respect and emphasize the subjectivity of the students; pay attention to the unique experience of the students in the physical activity; help them to gain the qualification...
With the increasingly greater stress on the study and employment for college students, their psychological problems stand out accordingly. Strengthening psychological counseling on college students in ideological and political education for college students is the innovation of the ideological and theoretical construction of our Party in universities. How to carry out the ideological and political...
Traditional educational methods often focus on the teacher's role and teaching form in the class is vary monotonous. This paper proposed a method to apply ICT into the human machine interface course, which can provoke the interests of students to this course. ICT makes the educational method become variable and colorful therefore promotes the quality of education. In addition, ICT is applied into...
Based on the former studies of transferred epithet and Fauconnier and Turner's conceptual integration theory, this paper adopts a cognitive semantic approach to the in-depth analysis of the on-line meaning construction of transferred epithet. This study explores the meaning construction of transferred epithet from a new perspective. It can help the language learners have a better understanding of...
Study on psychological contract & its breach, make good sense to the practice of human resources management. Base on the analysis of the relevant research of the psychological contract and its breach, little research on the cognition of psychological contract breach which has great research value was found. Discovering the meaning of the cognition of psychological contract breach, it can understand...
Since in the case of natural science inspiration, many advances have been achieved, In this paper with imitation of a basic feature we will discuss about an ability which is to generalize and integrate a wide range of sources of information into a series of simple concepts and heed it as the Composite Concepts. This phenomenon is an action for the decision and reasoning by people in everyday conversation...
