In classical information theory it is well-known that feedback does not improve the channel capacity. We demonstrate that this is not the case in the interactive setting by developing a new coding scheme for interactive communication over the binary symmetric channel (BSC) with feedback that allows recovery of the original communication with vanishing probability of error. More precisely, we sh...

We address the problem of determining the structure of a set of plot points for an interactive narrative. To do so, we define a formal two-player game where a computer can play with an author to learn the structural representation of the story. This technique will allow for authors unfamiliar, or uncomfortable, with mathematical structures to create the inputs interactive narrative algorithms r...

technology advancement improves the way we interact with computer systems. keyboard, mouse, and touchpad provide an easier and more natural way of interaction with a computer system. nowadays, by introducing low cost and high performance depth cameras like kinect and xtion, new opportunities are available for creating even more natural interfaces. in this paper, a new model was demonstrated for...

The purpose of this article is to empirically analyze how different forms of proximity influence interactive learning and ease of knowledge transfer among entrepreneurs, in order to advance the knowledge-based theory of clusters. Making use of ego-network data, gathered among entrepreneurs from the Amsterdam IT and new media-cluster and analyzed using structural equation modeling, the data lead...

Functioning and interaction of distributed devices and concurrent algorithms are analyzed in the context of the theory of algorithms. Our main concern here is how and under what conditions algorithmic interactive devices can be more powerful than the recursive models of computation, such as Turing machines. Realization of such a higher computing power makes these systems superrecursive. We find...

The signs of social relationship in balance theory is objective and undirected which cannot characterize participants’ bidirectional subjective opinions on social relationships. By redefining the signs with the bidirectional opinions according to homogeneity principle, we extend the balance theory by measuring the opinions with interactive language. Initial experimental results on Enron emails ...

Wavelets and related multiscale representations are important means for edge detection and processing as well as for segmentation and registration. Due to the computational complexity of these approaches no interactive visualization of the extraction process is possible nowadays. By using the hardware of modern graphics workstations for accelerating wavelet decomposition and reconstruction we r...

Deep-inelastic Ô scattering data, taken with the H1 detector at HERA, are used to analyze the event shape variables thrust, jet broadening, jet mass, parameter and two kinds of differential two-jet rate over a large range of the four-momentum transfer É between Î and ½¼¼ Î. Here, É is taken to be the relevant energy scale for these processes. The É dependence of the mean values is matched with ...

Characteristics of natural language can be illumi nated through the application of well known tools in Information Theory This paper shows how some of these characteristics can be exploited in the devel opment of automated speech and language process ing applications The explicit representation of dis continuities in a temporal sequence of sounds such as pauses in speech can be utilized to impr...
