In this study, we intend to solve a mutual information problem in interacting molecules of any type, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and small molecules. Using machine learning techniques, we accurately predict pairwise interactions, which can be of medical and biological importance. Graphs are are useful in this problem for their generality to all types of molecules, due to the inherent assoc...

We propose a probabalistic model of single source multimodal generation and show how algorithms for maximizing mutual information can find the correspondences between components of each signal. We show how non-parametric techniques for finding informative subspaces can capture the complex statistical relationship between signals in different modalities. We extend a previous technique for findin...

We present a technique for automatically extracting temporal mutual exclusion invariants from PDDL2.2 planning instances. We first identify a set of invariant candidates by inspecting the domain and then check these candidates against properties that assure invariance. If these properties are violated, we show that it is sometimes possible to refine a candidate by adding additional propositions...

more than anything else, education is rooted in the interaction between students and teachers. interaction is a more comprehensive concept than mutual influence which also exists among objects; the former is only possible when a relation among two agents is at stake. in this relation other components exist as well, such as books and educational tools, however, all these components are like sate...

Mutual regulation of attention was investigated in a group of prenatally cocaine-exposed and non-exposed mother-infant dyads during a 5-minute videotaped free play session. Mutual regulation was measured using a state-based coding scheme designed to categorize dyadic interactions into three mutually exclusive and exhaustive states: maternal bid, mutual engagement, and non-involved. Results reve...

background: there are many studies to investigate the effects of each interacting component of tumor-immune system interactions. in all these studies, the distinct effect of each component was investigated. as the interaction of tumor-immune system has feedback and is complex, the alternation of each component may affect other components indirectly. objective: because of the complexities of tum...

Despite many of the current social presence measures relying heavily on subjective post-test questionnaires, some researchers have identified the value of using online, behavioural measures. Gaze, and specifically mutual gaze, is known to be related to social perceptions of an interlocutor, as well as facilitating task performance during an interaction [1, 2, 17]. Second Life allows for the inv...

Damage detection of mechanical structures such as bridges is an important research problem in civil engineering. Using spatially distributed sensor time series data collected from a recent experiment on a local bridge in Upper State New York, we study noninvasive damage detection using information-theoretical methods. Several findings are in order. First, the time series data, which represent a...

In this paper we explore the use of shared representations to support creative activities, focussing on collaborative music making. We examine the effect that user interface features of shared representations have on mutual engagement and show that providing shared awareness mechanisms increases mutual engagement. In particular, we show through an empirical study of 78 participants that providi...
