Abstract: Software agent based on the learning resource in digital library development is described in this work. Using of distance learning technology standards and agent technologies provides ability of creation informationaleducational environment in the internet. IEEE 1484.12.1 “Standard for Learning Object Metadata” allows organizing common access to the educational materials on the learni...

The creation of hypertext and World Wide Web provided a powerful mechanism for organizing and distributing the warehouse of information. However, video-based hypermedia may represent the future of the Internet since it provides a much better viewing experience. Our ongoing project the Video Annotation Markup Language (VAML) aims to enhance the hypervideo framework. In this paper, we give a deta...

We propose a learning algorithm for selforganizing neural networks to form a topology preserving map from an input manifold whose topology may dynamically change. Experimental results show that the network using the proposed algorithm can rapidly adjust itself to represent the topology of nonstationary input distributions. key words: competitive Hebbian learning rule, law of the jungle mechanis...

A Maximum-likelihood connectionist model for unsupervised learning over graphical domains

In this paper we propose a self-organizing mechanism to model adaptive multi-agent systems. The mechanism is inspired in a psychological approach of motivation. Under this approach motivation is an internal state or condition that serves to activate or energize behavior and give it direction. Thus, we propose an intrinsic motivation or reason for engaging in a particular behavior called goal-ac...

The purpose of the study was to find out whether the conceptual connection of emotion and motion is holding in the domain of personality traits. In a quantitative study 40 Estonian terms of personality traits were investigated and a conclusion was driven that, indeed, the qualities of emotionality and motion are perceived as co-present characteristics. In further data analysis some visualized m...

lps-responsive beige-like anchor (lrba) deficiency is a disease which has recently been described in a group of patients with common variable immunodeficiency (cvid) in association with autoimmunity and/or inflammatory bowel disease (ibd)-like phenotype. we here describe a 10-year-old boy who experienced recurrent infections, mainly in the respiratory system, associated with thrombocytopenia an...
