In this paper, we present Face Translation, a translation agent for people who speak different languages. The system can not only translate a spoken utterance into another language, but also produce an audio-visual output with the speaker’s face and synchronized lip movement. The visual output is synthesized from real images based on image morphing technology. Both mouth and eye movements are g...

the sources of output growth of iranian agriculture over the years 1986-2001 has been examined, using a decomposition method within the input-output (io) framework. the three comparable io tables of 1986, 1991, and 2001 have been employed as the main data sources. output changes from a demand side perspective, and decomposition of the growth of output into components attributable to consumption...

In this study, we introduce and study a concept of distributed fuzzymodeling. Fuzzy modeling encountered so far is predominantly of a centralizednature by being focused on the use of a single data set. In contrast to this style ofmodeling, the proposed paradigm of distributed and collaborative modeling isconcerned with distributed models which are constructed in a highly collaborativefashion. I...

BACKGROUND The European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) is a partnership of European and sub-Saharan African countries that aims to accelerate the development of medical interventions against poverty-related diseases (PRDs). A bibliometric analysis was conducted to 1) measure research output from European and African researchers on PRDs, 2) describe collaboration patt...

This paper is based on the design of a system for collaborative knowledge discovery, in a situation where both some data and a domain expert are available. This system is composed of two elements: a data-mining algorithm (Pasteur) producing association rules organized in graphs, and a module (Filter) for collection, refinement and use of expert’s comments on the algorithm’s output. The two put ...

INTRODUCTION Interaction techniques for Augmented Reality user interfaces (UIs) differ considerably from well explored 2D UIs, because these include new input and output devices and new interaction metaphors such as tangible interaction. For experimenting with new devices and metaphors we propose a flexible and lightweight UI framework that supports rapid prototyping of multimodal and collabora...

The emergence of several trends, including the increased availability of wireless networks, miniaturization of electronics and sensing technologies, and novel input and output devices, is creating a demand for integrated, fulltime displays for use across a wide range of applications, including collaborative environments. In this paper, we present and discuss emerging visualization methods we ar...
