We present data that describe the interactive searching behavior of ten searchers using the INQUERY retrieval engine in the context of the TREC routing task We dis cuss how these searchers with a strong background in the use of traditional online retrieval mechanisms adapted after very limited training to the use of a best match ranked output full text retrieval mechanism

The MSAViewer is a quick and easy visualization and analysis JavaScript component for Multiple Sequence Alignment data of any size. Core features include interactive navigation through the alignment, application of popular color schemes, sorting, selecting and filtering. The MSAViewer is 'web ready': written entirely in JavaScript, compatible with modern web browsers and does not require any sp...

IVisTMSA is a software package of seven graphical tools for multiple sequence alignments. MSApad is an editing and analysis tool. It can load 409% more data than Jalview, STRAP, CINEMA, and Base-by-Base. MSA comparator allows the user to visualize consistent and inconsistent regions of reference and test alignments of more than 21-MB size in less than 12 seconds. MSA comparator is 5,200% effici...

State-of-the-art Machine Translation (MT) systems are still far from being perfect. An alternative is the so-called Interactive Machine Translation (IMT) framework. In this framework, the knowledge of a human translator is combined with a MT system. We present a new technique for IMT which is based on the generation of partial alignments at phrase-level. The proposed technique partially aligns ...

The Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocol has long been used in military simulations, but no widespread open source C++ implementation has been made available to date. We have written an open source implementation in C++ and Java that we believe will result in a less duplicated effort in creating DIS simulations and that can serve as a platform for investigating modifications and ex...

The Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) IEEE-1278.1 standard is used in many military simulations. The binary data format for DIS does not lend itself to use in emerging web services standards or data analysis and storage tools because the data format is not recognized by most general purpose data manipulation tools. We examine an alternate XML-based representation of DIS information. An X...

We present two web-based, interactive tools for creating and visualizing sub-sentential alignments of parallel text. Yawat is a tool to support distributed, manual wordand phrase-alignment of parallel text through an intuitive, web-based interface. Kwipc is an interface for displaying words or bilingual word pairs in parallel, word-aligned context. A key element of the tools presented here is t...

A Military-based distributed interactive simulation (DIS) such as ModSAF has been used for many years. Several problems of the DIS-based simulation to support a large and heterogeneous virtual simulation environments have been discovered (Stone, Zyda, Brutzman, and Falby 1996). To solve these problems, we propose an architectural multiagent-based framework to support a large military-based simu...
