A memory model for autonomous virtual humans
(2002)A memory model based on ?stage theory?, the dominant view of memory from the field of cognitive psychology, is presented for application to autonomous virtual humans. The virtual human senses external stimuli through a ... -
Men behaving appropriately: integrating the role passing technique into the ALOHA system
(2002)The Adaptive Level of Detail for Human Animation (ALOHA) system is a platform for animating virtual humans within a virtual environment using levels-of-detail for geometry, motion and conversational behaviour. Until now ... -
Meta-Hyperband: Hyperparameter optimization with meta-learning and Coarse-to-Fine
(2020)Hyperparameter optimization is one of the main pillars of machine learning algorithms. In this paper, we introduce Meta-Hyperband: a Hyperband based algorithm that improves the hyperparameter optimization by adding levels ... -
Meta-object protocols for C++: The Iguana approach.
(1996)Meta-Object Protocols (MOPs) are an impor- tant aspect of object-oriented re ective pro- gramming. A number of C++ extensions have been implemented that include certain re ective features, however none of these ... -
Metadata Independent Hashing for Media Identification & P2P Transfer Optimisation
(IEEE, 2012-12-07)Efficient swarming behaviours within peer-to-peer networks are hindered by imprecise or incorrect metadata content. Once published, metadata corrections can only be effected by a complete republish/swarm recreation or for ... -
Metaphor is Generic
(2008)An approach to sense extension tailored for polysemy associated with non-literal language expanded to include belief revision generally. The relationship between metaphor and genericity as rhetorical devices is discussed, ... -
Method and System for Guiding a Vehicle
(USPTOUSPTO, 2005)Movement of a vehicle such as a boat (30) is guided by dynamically monitoring parameters and generating instructions for the operator. The instructions are at a level to attain a number of Sub-goals to reach a goal ... -
Method and system for recovery of 3D scene structure and camera motion from a video sequence
(USPTOUSPTO, 2015)An improved method and a system are disclosed for recovering a three-dimensional (3D) scene structure from a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) image frames obtained from imaging means. Sets of 2D features are extracted ... -
Methodology for Building Synthetic Datasets with Virtual Humans
(2020)Recent advances in deep learning methods have increased the performance of face detection and recognition systems. The accuracy of these models relies on the range of variation provided in the training data. Creating a ... -
Methods for Analyzing Cognitive Architecture
(Springer International Publishing, 2023)We articulate aspects of our methods for analyzing human cognitive architecture. We focus on two approaches with a linked example. One approach is to analyze human cognitive abilities to isolate functions that have particular ... -
Microadaptivity within complex learning situations - a personalized approach based on competence structures and problem spaces
(2007)In this paper, we present an approach to microadaptivity, i.e. to adaptivity within complex learning situations as they occur, e.g., in game-based learning. Integrating the competence-based knowledge space theory and the ... -
Middleware for next generation urban traffic control.
(ETC, 2004)Next generation Urban Traffic Control (UTC) systems should be flexible in their ability to handle new and improved sensor information that is beginning to become available from cameras, GPS devices, and other sources. They ... -
MILLA A Multimodal Interactive Language Agent
(2014)We describe the motivation behind, design, and implementation of MILLA, a prototype speech - to -speech English language tutoring system -
MINDS: a translator to embed mathematical expressions inside SPARQL queries
(2020)The recent deployments of semantic web tools and the expansion of available linked datasets have given users the opportunity of building increasingly complex applications. These emerging use cases often require queries ... -
Mining User Models for Effective Adaptation of Context-aware Applications
(2007)Current context-aware adaptation techniques are limited in their support for user personalisation. Complex codebases, a reliance on developer modification and an inability to automatically learn from user interactions ... -
MoCoA: Customisable middleware for context-aware mobile applications
(2006)Many programming models have been proposed to facilitate the development of context-aware applications. However, previous work does not offer support for building customised systems and has largely been targeted at a ...
