Abstract This paper claims that one way to bridge the gap between Francis Bacon’s speculative philosophy and his natural historical experimental investigations is by looking at peculiar top-down strategy of measuring Nature. Key this construction perceptive instruments, i.e., devices “subtle enough” detect map limits, powers virtues. In paper, I discuss some ideas for development show how parti...

Polarizing opinions about political and social controversies take place commonly in mass and more recently user-generated media. A functional democratic society builds on civic discussions among people holding different beliefs on an issue. However, so far, few computer technologies have been devoted to facilitate mutual understanding, and arguably could have worsened the situation. We envision...

With the continuous development of society, media literacy education has an increasingly important position and role in university ideological and political education. Therefore, making media literacy education suit university ideological and political education is of great significance to ensure the comprehensive efficiency of ideological and political education. The concept of media literacy ...

In this paper, we show the evolution from the earliest frame-by-frame synthetic actors to real-time perceptive actors living in distributed virtual environments or even in the real world. We first compare requirements and methods for frame-by-frame and real-time actors. Then, we introduce a new classification of synthetic actors with four categories: participants, guided actors, autonomous acto...

This paper presents a new neural network approach to real-time pattern recognition on a given set of binary (or bipolar) sample patterns. The perceptive neuron of a binary pattern is defined and constructed as a binary neuron with a neighborhood perceptive field. Letting its hidden units be the respective perceptive neurons of the patterns, a three-layer forward neural network is constructed to...

This paper presents an analysis and design method for human/robot integrated systems, especially for the cooperative sensing and operation of human and robot formations in human centered environments. The key for the human/robot formation integrated system is to create a common motion reference that can be understood by both human and the robots in the formation. The perceptive reference frame ...
