Europeana is a strategic project funded by the European Commission with the goal of making Europe's cultural and scientific heritage accessible to the public. ASSETS is a two-­ year BLOCKIN BLOCKIN performance, accessibility and usability of the Europeana search engine. Here we present a characterization of the Europeana logs by showing statistics on common behavioral patterns of the Europeana ...

Visual surveillance data might encompass vast data amounts. Given the amount of data the need for search and data exploration arises naturally. Various authorities such as infrastructure operators and law enforcement agencies are confronted with search needs based on a visual description and/or behavioral patterns (motion path, activity) in order to find a ”needle in a haystack of digital data”...

Previous studies have established the link between one’s actions (e.g., engaging with others vs. minding one’s own business) and one’s national culture (e.g., collectivist vs. individualistic), and such actions have been shown to be important as they are collectively affiliated with a country’s economic outcomes (e.g., Gross Domestic Product). Hitherto there has not been any systematic study of...

ModelMaker is a tool being developed to help modelers rapidly develop behavioral models from natural language descriptions to support the construction of virtual prototypes. This tool analyzes documents for behavioral patterns and constructs a component and signal index for search and retrieval of relevant text. The tool’s interface features an edit window for HDL model development and a source...

We present an architecture for large-scale sharing of past behavioral patterns about network actors (e.g., hosts or email addresses) in an effort to inform policy decisions about how to treat future interactions. In our system, entities can submit reports of certain observed behavior (particularly attacks) to a distributed database. When deciding whether to provide services to a given actor, us...

Why have some animals evolved large brains despite substantial energetic and developmental costs? A classic answer is that a large brain facilitates the construction of behavioural responses to unusual, novel or complex socioecological challenges. This buffer effect should increase survival rates and favour a longer reproductive life, thereby compensating for the costs of delayed reproduction. ...

Conventional robotic behaviors are directly programmed depending on the designer’s personal experience. With this method, it is difficult to create new behavioral designs. In this study, the authors aim to establish a new method of designing robotic behaviors by operating underlying evaluation functions in mathematical forms that can generates behaviors in computer calculations. The characteris...

The aim of this paper is to identiS the predictive values of communication within the family to behavior of the children of advanced primary school age. The results are founded on self-perception and self-reports of pupils attending seventh and eighth grades of primar5r schools in the city of Zagreb (N=484) concerning their behavior (PON) and the quality of communications within the family (KUO...

While temporal behavioral patterns can be discerned to underlie real crowd work, prior studies have typically modeled worker performance under a simplified i.i.d. assumption. To better model such temporal worker behavior, we propose a time-series label prediction model for crowd work. This latent variable model captures and summarizes past worker behavior, enabling us to better predict the qual...

The development and design of mobile web should lucubrate mobile users’ psychological perception, thinking patterns, and behavior habits, etc, namely, to look at the mobile web from the users’ points of view. In order to help users to save time and energy in the mission operation and reduce their cognitive load, Information Architecture, as an important part of the mobile web design, should acc...
