WebIQ uses a three-fold, query-based approach to the problem: First, it discovers data instances from the “Surface Web” (the part of the World Wide Web that can be accessed using regular search engines such as Google). This is done by formulating extraction queries, posing them to a search engine, extracting data instances from the results, and then validating them. Second, it borrows already e...

A common practice in design education settings is participation in crits, or design critiques, in which critical feedback is given about creative works in progress. This paper presents a rationale for Studio Zone, a web-based environment to support design critiques, and results of a study of the software in use in a graduate software design course. We focus on how students perceived design crit...

The analytic rubric of "postsocialism" has played a crucial role in this body of scholarship by enabling conversation and comparison among diverse studies spread across a massive region of the world. It is increasin...

Learning from demonstration algorithms, such as Inverse Reinforcement Learning, aim to provide a natural mechanism for programming robots, but can often require a prohibitive number of demonstrations to capture important subtleties of a task. Rather than requesting additional demonstrations blindly, active learning methods leverage uncertainty to query the user for action labels at states with ...
