A Small Acoustic Goniometer for General Purpose Research

A Small Acoustic Goniometer for General Purpose Research

Understanding acoustic events and monitoring their occurrence is a useful aspect of many research projects. In particular, acoustic goniometry allows researchers to determine the source of an event based solely on the sound it produces. The vast majority of acoustic goniometry research projects used custom hardware targeted to the specific application under test. Unfortunately, due to the wide ...

Deploying general-purpose virtual research environments for humanities research.

Several virtual research environments (VREs) have been developed to address specific tasks or application domains. Building on the experiences and use cases coming out of these projects, this paper addresses the creation of more general-purpose VREs for the humanities, which move beyond specific, focused tasks, and instead provide services and environments that support more general-purpose huma...

A General Purpose Inference Engine for Evidential Reasoning Research

The purpose of this paper is to report on the most recent developments in our ongoing investigation of th.e representation and manipulation of uncertainty in automated reasoning systems. In our earlier studies (Tong and Shapiro, 1985) we described a series of experiments with Rt;BRIC (Tong e t al., 198.'5), a. system for full-text document retrieval, that generated some interesting insights int...
