Peer feedback (PF) is essential for improving student learning outcomes, particularly in Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) settings. When using digital tools for PF practices, student data (e.g., PF text entries) is generated automatically. ...

The advancement of deep learning and neural networks has led to the widespread adoption of neural word embeddings as a prominent lexical representation method in natural language processing. With the help of the neural language model trained by ...

• This paper proposes the LexFMSL model to optimize word embeddings.
• This paper enhances LEAR model performance through flexible margins and learning methods.
• The LexFMSL model achieves good results on different word embedding ...

The creation of new computational methods to provide fresh insights on literary styles is a hot topic of research. There are particular challenges when the number of samples is small in comparison with the number of variables. One ...

• Prediction of dates by iterative Continued Fraction Regression was state of the art.

Maneuverable multicamera systems offer potential benefits in abdominal minimally-invasive procedures, including multi-view scene reconstruction and optimal viewpoint capture. Effective autonomous movement and re-positioning of such systems, however, ...

In this paper, we propose a cubic regularized Newton method for solving the convex-concave minimax saddle point problems. At each iteration, a cubic regularized saddle point subproblem is constructed and solved, which provides a search direction ...$\mathcal{}\left(,\left(\mathrm{},,\right)\right)$$$$\mathcal{}\left({\left(\mathrm{},,\right)}^{\frac{\mathrm{}}{{}^{\mathrm{}}}}\right)$$$$\mathrm{}\mathrm{}$

How-to videos are often shot using camera angles that may not be optimal for learning motor tasks, with a prevalent use of third-person perspective. We present immersivePOV, an approach to film how-to videos from an immersive first-person perspective ...

In this article, we present a novel approach for continuous operator authentication in teleoperated robotic processes based on Hidden Markov Models (HMM). While HMMs were originally developed and widely used in speech recognition, they have shown great ...

In this paper, we propose two new solution schemes to solve the stochastic strongly monotone variational inequality (VI) problems: the stochastic extra-point solution scheme and the stochastic extra-momentum solution scheme. The first one is a general scheme ...

Deformable objects and surfaces are ubiquitous in the daily lives of humans – from the garments in fashion to soft tissues within the body. Because of this routine interaction with soft materials, humans are adept and trained in manipulation of ...

This work presents a user-study evaluation of various visual and haptic feedback modes on a real telemanipulation platform. Of particular interest is the potential for haptic guidance virtual fixtures and 3D-mapping techniques to enhance ...

This paper presents methods for improved teleoperation in dynamic environments in which the objects to be manipulated are moving, but vision may not meet size, biocompatibility, or maneuverability requirements. In such situations, the object could be ...

3D reconstruction and surgical tool segmentation are necessary for several advanced tasks in robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. These tasks include vision-based force estimation, surgical guidance, and medical image registration where pre-operative data ...

Hand gestures are a natural component of human-human communication. Simple hand gestures are intuitive and can exhibit great lexical variety. It stands to reason that such a user input mechanism can have many benefits, including seamless interaction, ...

Haptic technologies have made it possible for human users to interact with cyber systems not only via traditional interfaces like keyboards and mice but also by applying force and motion. With these extra information channels, how a user haptically ...

Physical therapists could make better treatment decisions if they had accurate patient home exercise data but today this information is only available from patient self-report. A more accurate source of data could be gained from wearable computing ...

Due to advances in manufacture technology, leakage current increases dramatically in modern ICs. Power gating technique is an efficient and effective method to resolve this problem. In order to turn off supply voltage in a low-power domain, it has to ...

When people fall and experience problems of balance, physical therapists (PTs) often prescribe home balance exercises involving repetitive head movements. Currently, patients' compliance and performance of these home exercises are invisible to PTs, who ...

Mobile Music Touch (MMT) helps teach users to play piano melodies while they perform other tasks. MMT is a lightweight, wireless haptic music instruction system consisting of fingerless gloves and a mobile Bluetooth enabled computing device, such as a ...

We present PianoTouch, a wearable, wireless haptic piano instruction system, composed of (1) five small vibration motors, one for each finger, fitted inside a glove, (2) a Bluetooth module mounted on the glove, and (3) piano music output from a laptop. ...

This paper introduces a new interactive tool for teaching ASL to deaf preschool children. Our design makes use of a familiar form-factor, that of a teddy bear, to create a tangible media solution to presenting video content and providing intuitive means ...
