Synthesizing quotient lenses

Predicting Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) from the Systemizing Quotient-Revised (SQ-R) and Empathy Quotient (EQ).

BACKGROUND Empathizing is a specific component of social cognition. Empathizing is also specifically impaired in autism spectrum condition (ASC). These are two dimensions, measurable using the Empathy Quotient (EQ) and the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ). ASC also involves strong systemizing, a dimension measured using the Systemizing Quotient (SQ). The present study examined the relationship bet...

Synthesizing Bark

Despite the high quality reached by today’s CG tree generators, there exists no realistic model for generating the appearance of bark: simple texture maps are generally used, showing obvious flaws if the tree is not entirely painted by an artist. Beyond modeling the appearance of bark, difficulty lies in adapting the bark features to the age of each branch, ensuring continuity between adjacent ...

Synthesizing Objects

This paper argues that the current OO technology does not support reuse and configurability in an effective way. This problem can be addressed by augmenting OO analysis and design with feature modeling and by applying generative implementation techniques. Feature modeling allows capturing the variability of domain concepts. Concrete concept instances can then be synthesized from abstract specif...

Synthesizing intonation

This paper describes a computer program for synthesizing fundamental frequency (F0} contours for English, and sketches the theory which underlies it. The F0 contour is described as a series of targets within an envelope specifying F0 range; the F0 contour between targets is computed by transition rules. The use of nonmonotonic transitions permits a sparser specification of the contour than has ...
