With the ever decreasing attention span of contemporary Internet users, the title of online content (such as a news article or video) can be a major factor in determining its popularity. To take advantage of this phenomenon, we propose a new method based on a bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network designed to predict the popularity of online content using only its title. We ...

Video can be a powerful tool, with long history of use in teacher education. Despite the increased popularity using video education over years, questions remain about effective ways to create and online video-based instructional modules. Given this, this paper we describe some lessons learned creating videos for modules secondary mathematics candidates, as part National Science Foundation (NSF)...

BACKGROUND In recent years the video game industry has surpassed both the music and video industries in sales. Currently violent video games are among the most popular video games played by consumers, most specifically First-Person Shooters (FPS). Technological advancements in game play experience including the ability to play online has accounted for this increase in popularity. Previous resea...

In this paper we present a novel selective retransmission scheme, based on congestion control algorithm. Our method efficient in narrowband networks for multimedia applications which demand higher bandwidth. Multimedia applications are becoming increasingly popular in IP networks, while in mobile networks the limited bandwidth and the higher error rate arise in spite of its popularity. These ar...

Entertainment computing is central to the leisure activities of many Americans, with a remarkable array of choices now available to the average person. Video and computer games, in particular violent games, are especially popular, even with relatively young children. With this popularity, concern has been raised about possible unintended consequences of participation in interactive violence. De...

Given the growing popularity of video gaming and off-the shelf electroencephalographic (EEG) devices like the Emotiv, there is a growing need for methods of measuring gamer experience in real-time. Engagement indices developed to monitor human engagement have yet to be implemented with the Emotiv. In this study, we compared three different engagement indices during various video game modalities...

Almost all existing approaches towards video coding exploit the temporal redundancy by block-matching-based motion estimation and compensation. Regardless of its popularity, block matching still reflects an ad hoc understanding of the relationship between motion and intensity uncertainty models. In this paper, we present a novel backward adaptive approach, named “leastsquare prediction” (LSP), ...

As the world largest video content sharing website, YouTube constantly attracts more and more attention from networking research community. Different aspects of YouTube, such as video characteristics, user behaviors, and its back-end infrastructure have been well studied. Most of these studies consider YouTube as a whole without taking the YouTube category into the consideration. However, it is...
