Causal perception is an important cognitive phenomenon, which plays a central role in our understanding of the world. As such, its study is also relevant to interactive graphics systems. In this paper, we introduce a virtual reality system which can elicit causal perception. The system operates by intercepting the consequences of subjects’ actions and modifying them to generate new event co-occ...

The extended mind thesis (in brief, EMT) does not reserve a position for inner representations, which certainly play a substantive role in the making of human mind, however. It is, as a consequence, hard to conceive of perception as extended. The present paper, as a complement to EMT, argues that perceptual processes are extended, and so is perceptual content. The argument proceeds with three r...

In this paper we present a comparative evaluation of four popular interactive segmentation algorithms. The evaluation was carried out as a series of user-experiments, in which participants were tasked with extracting one hundred objects from a common dataset: twenty-five with each algorithm, constrained within a time limit of two minutes for each object. To facilitate the experiments, a “scribb...

Comparative dependency network learning is a growing field of research, especially in systems biology. Domain scientists would like to discover patterns of variable dependency that are conserved across conditions or discover pathways that are disrupted due to disease. In machine learning, multitask graphical structure learning algorithms have been developed to help solve this problem by learnin...

The software package DNAVis offers a fast, interactive and real-time visualization of DNA sequences and their comparative genome annotations. DNAVis implements advanced methods of information visualization such as linked views, perspective walls and semantic zooming, in addition to the display of heterologous data in dot plot-like matrix views.
