We present an unsupervised approach to synthesize full video game levels from a set of gameplay videos. Our primary contribution is an unsupervised process to generate levels from a model trained on gameplay video. The model represents probabilistic relationships between shapes properties, and relates the relationships to stylistic variance within a domain. We utilize the classic platformer gam...

Data mining techniques are potentially useful to discover relationships in data that may be overlooked in more theory driven or parametric approaches. In this paper we consider the problem of discovering dependency relationships in travel diary data by using Bayesian Network learning algorithms. We propose and compare two strategies which consider context, situational and socio-demographic vari...

Template-driven HTML documents posses an implicit, fixed schema denoting concepts and their relationships in a hierarchical fashion. Discovering this schema remains a relatively unexplored problem. By exploiting a key observation that semantically related items in HTML documents exhibit spatial locality, we develop an algorithm for automatically partitioning them into tree-like semantic structu...

The impact of global slowdown and busted Internet ventures may have led to a rationalized view of the role IT play in businesses. But that has not stopped global 2000 businesses from investing for collaborating with partners and customers. IT has drastically reduced cost of collaboration in the last 20 years. One consequent change in the business environment is the delineation in emphasis on po...

We present TCEL (Time-Constrained Event Language), whose timing semantics is based solely on the constrained relationships between observable events. Using this semantics, the unobservable code can be automatically moved to convert an unschedulable task set into a schedulable one. We illustrate this by an application of program-slicing, which we use to automatically tune control-domain systems ...

Plant growth occurs through the coordinated expansion of tightly adherent cells, driven by regulated softening of cell walls. It is an intrinsically multiscale process, with the integrated properties of multiple cell walls shaping the whole tissue. Multiscale models encode physical relationships to bring new understanding to plant physiology and development.

This short note points out an improvement on the robust stability analysis for electrically driven robots given in the paper. In the paper, the author presents a FAT-based direct adaptive control scheme for electrically driven robots in presence of nonlinearities associated with actuator input constraints. However, he offers not suitable stability analysis for the closed-loop system. In other w...

The 210 Pb-7 Be-O 3 relationships observed in three aircraft missions over the western Pacific (PEM-West A and B, TRACE-P) are simulated with a global 3-D chemical tracer model (GEOS-CHEM) driven by assimilated meteorological observations. Results are interpreted in terms of the constraints that they offer on sources of tropospheric ozone (O 3). Aircraft observa

Research on supplier satisfaction in buyer–supplier relationships has been primarily conceptual. One purpose of the research described in this paper is to empirically test the influences of supply chain power on supplier satisfaction. Exploration of the effects of power on factors of supplier satisfaction will provide the key to understanding the power-satisfaction link in supply chain relation...

Edge-driven innovation is gaining recognition from organizational strategists as an important source of explorative capability. Yet its effectiveness depends on being able to move practices accomplished by front-line workers as they interact with customers. This paper presents a study of a large retail chain that has implemented centrally driven initiatives for fostering edge-based innovation. ...
