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 ... -
A Methodology for the Automated Introduction of Design Patterns
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1999-03)In reengineering legacy code it is frequently useful to introduce a design pattern in order to add clarity to the system and thus facilitate further program evolution. We show that this type of transformation can be ... -
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 ... -
Methods for meaningful text representation and comparison
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Computer Science & Statistics, 2005)This thesis investigates methods of text representation and comparison using WordNet as a real world knowledge base. The research is carried out within the framework of lexical cohesive theory which defines the cohesive ... -
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 ... -
Microsponsorships: A New Payment Model for Music Distribution
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 2005-09)Today?s music industry on the Internet is dominated by the record companies who charge users to download MP3s. In most cases, users do not have the opportunity to listen to the entire song prior to downloading and ... -
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 ... -
Mobile Agents - Smart Messages
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1997-05)Wireless communication with Mobile Computing devices is known to be problematic. It is very different in character from conventional communication over wired networks. Since many distributed applications make assumptions ... -
Mobile Health (mHealth) in Sierra Leone: A Critical Realist Study
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2020)The number of mobile health (mHealth) implementations around the world, particularly in developing countries, has been increasing dramatically. However, the design, implementation and adoption of mHealth in such environments ... -
A Mobile Health Design Process to Improve User Engagement with Mobile Health
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2023)It has been shown that less than 25 percent of people continue to use health and wellness apps after the first time they use them. Despite the importance of user engagement for the efficacy of such apps and mobile health ... -
Mobile Proxies
(Trinity College Dublin. Department of Computer Science, 1999-09)One of the important issues that are quite often a challenge in modern distributed systems is the issue of adaptability. The need for adaptability rises from the fact that these systems are very much open, heterogeneous ...
