Interactive systems have become an increasingly important type of application for deployment of NLG technology over recent years. At present, we do not yet have commonly agreed terminology or methodology for evaluating NLG within interactive systems. In this paper, we take steps towards addressing this gap by presenting a set of principles for designing new evaluations in our comparative evalua...

The mathematical formalism of interactive games, which extends one of ordinary games [1] and is based on the concept of an interactive control, was recently proposed by the author [2] to take into account the complex composition of controls of a real human person, which are often complicated couplings of his/her cognitive and known controls with the unknown subconscious behavioral reactions. Th...

Listening histories are rich sources of implicit information. Combining listening histories of multiple users allows comparisons in musical taste and discovery of new music, though few existing work specifically addresses this issue. In this paper we present two interactive visualizations which give users a deeper insight into consent and dissent in their listening behaviors, and help them to c...

According to the interactive model of consonant place of articulation perception, the vowel context not only biases place decisions but also affects the processing of the place cues. Data on the perception of French fricative-vowel syllables suggest that contextual effects are indeed interactive, thereby confirming previous findings in Dutch. Further, these data suggests a new formulation of th...

We introduce Interactive Perception as a new perceptual paradigm for autonomous robotics in unstructured environments. Interactive perception augments the process of perception with physical interactions, thus integrating robotics and computer vision. By integrating interactions into the perceptual process, it is possible to manipulate the environment so as to uncover information relevant for t...

The article presents the findings of a recent longitudinal study that compares student perception of instruction scores between online and regular classes. Participants in the study were campus-based traditional undergraduate students enrolled at a large public U.S. university. The findings suggest that student perceptions of course participation are influenced by matters of convenience. The ar...
