چکیده

Due to the unique characteristics of video, traditional surrogates and control/browsing mechanisms that facilitate text-based information retrieval may not work sufficiently for video. In this paper, a video browsing interface prototype with key frames and fast play-back mechanisms was built and tested. Subjects performed two kinds of browsing-related tasks: object identification and video comprehension under different display speeds (1 fps, 4 fps, 8 fps, 12 fps and 16 fps). It was found that browsing the key frames between 8 to 12 fps could potentially define a functional limit in object identificationaccuracy. There was no significant performance difference found across display speeds tested. The results also showed that lower speeds were required for object identification than for video comprehension. How user performance was affected by individual characteristics such as age, gender, academic background and TVor movie-watching habits, was investigated, but no significant difference was found due to the limit of sample size and other constraints.

We describe two complementary studies that explore the effectiveness of related article search in PubMed. The first attempts to characterize the topological properties of document networks that are implicitly defined by this capability. The second focuses on analysis of PubMed query logs to gain an understanding of real user behavior. Combined evidence suggests that related article search is bo...

One big obstacle to understanding the nature of hierarchical task network (htn) planning has been the lack of a clear theoretical framework. In particular, no one has yet presented a clear and concise htn algorithm that is sound and complete. In this paper, we present a formal syntax and semantics for htn planning. Based on this syntax and semantics, we are able to deene an algorithm for htn pl...

Towards a Theory of Interestingness

There are a wide variety of applications that either require or assume the existence of some underlying definition of “interestingness.” However, interests vary from user to user, from situation to situation, and from one time to another. This diversity of interests cannot be captured through a single definition. In this paper, we propose a framework called Full Interestingness Programs (FIPs) ...

A simulation environment has been created to support study of emergent communication. Multiple agents exist in a two-dimensional world where they must nd food and avoid predators. While non-communicating agents may survive, the world is conngured so that survival and tness can be enhanced through the use of inter-agent communication. The goal with this version of the simulator is to determine c...
