This volume explores how context has been and can be used in computing to model human behaviors, actions and communications as well as to manage data and knowledge. It addresses context management and exploitation of context for sharing experience across domains. The book serves as a user-centric guide for readers wishing to develop context-based applications, as well as an intellectual reference on the concept of context. It provides a broad yet deep treatment of context in computing and related areas that depend heavily on computing. The coverage is broad because of its cross-disciplinary nature but treats topics at a sufficient depth to permit a reader to implement context in his/her comp...
Systematically presented to enhance the feasibility of fuzzy models, this book introduces the novel concept of a fuzzy network whose nodes are rule bases and their interconnections are interactions between rule bases in the form of outputs fed as inputs.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Industrial and Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems, IEA/AIE 2004, held in Ottawa, Canada, in May 2004. The 129 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 208 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on neural networks, bioinformatics, data mining, general applications, autonomous agents, intelligent systems, knowledge processing and NLP, intelligent user interfaces, evolutionary computing, fuzzy logic, human-roboter interaction, computer vision and image processing, machine learning and case-based reasoning, heuristic search, security, Internet applications, planning and scheduling, constraint satisfaction, e-learning, expert systems, applications to design, machine learning, and image processing.
May the Forcing Functions be with You: The Stimulating World of AIED and ITS Research It is my pleasure to write the foreword for Advances in Intelligent Tutoring S- tems. This collection, with contributions from leading researchers in the field of artificial intelligence in education (AIED), constitutes an overview of the many challenging research problems that must be solved in order to build a truly intel- gent tutoring system (ITS). The book not only describes some of the approaches and techniques that have been explored to meet these challenges, but also some of the systems that have actually been built and deployed in this effort. As discussed in the Introduction (Chapter 1), the terms...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems, ITS 2006, held in Jhongli, Taiwan, June 2006. The book presents 67 revised full papers and 40 poster papers, together with abstracts of 6 keynote talks, organized in topical sections on assessment, authoring tools, bayesian reasoning and decision-theoretic approaches, case-based and analogical reasoning, cognitive models, collaborative learning, e-learning and web-based intelligent tutoring systems, and more.
The application of a “committee of experts” or ensemble learning to artificial neural networks that apply unsupervised learning techniques is widely considered to enhance the effectiveness of such networks greatly. This book examines the potential of the ensemble meta-algorithm by describing and testing a technique based on the combination of ensembles and statistical PCA that is able to determine the presence of outliers in high-dimensional data sets and to minimize outlier effects in the final results. Its central contribution concerns an algorithm for the ensemble fusion of topology-preserving maps, referred to as Weighted Voting Superposition (WeVoS), which has been devised to improv...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education, AIED 2017, held in Wuhan, China, in June/July 2017. The 36 revised full papers presented together with 4 keynotes, 37 poster, presentations, 4 doctoral consortium papers, 5 industry papers, 4 workshop abstracts, and 2 tutorial abstracts were carefully reviewed and selected from 159 submissions. The conference provides opportunities for the cross-fertilization of approaches, techniques and ideas from the many fields that comprise AIED, including computer science, cognitive and learning sciences, education, game design, psychology, sociology, linguistics as well as many domain-specific areas.
The 10th International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems, ITS 2010, cont- ued the bi-annual series of top-flight international conferences on the use of advanced educational technologies that are adaptive to users or groups of users. These highly interdisciplinary conferences bring together researchers in the learning sciences, computer science, cognitive or educational psychology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and linguistics. The theme of the ITS 2010 conference was Bridges to Learning, a theme that connects the scientific content of the conf- ence and the geography of Pittsburgh, the host city. The conference addressed the use of advanced technolog...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems, ITS 2012, held in Chania, Crete, Greece, in June 2012. The 28 revised full papers, 50 short papers, and 56 posters presented were carefully viewed and selected from 177 submissions. The specific theme of the ITS 2012 conference is co-adaption between technologies and human learning. Besides that, the highly interdisciplinary ITS conferences bring together researchers in computer science, informatics, and artificial intelligence on the one side - and cognitive science, educational psychology, and linguistics on the other side. The papers are organized in topical sections on affect/emotions, affect/signals, games/motivation and design, games/empirical studies, content representation, feedback, non conventional approaches, conceptual content representation, assessment constraints, dialogue, dialogue/questions, learner modeling, learning detection, interaction strategies for games, and empirical studies thereof in general.
At DART'09, held in conjunction with the 2009 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2009) and Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT 2009) in Milan (Italy), practitioners and researchers working on pervasive and intelligent access to web services and distributed information retrieval met to compare their work ad insights in such fascinating topics. Extended and revised versions of their papers, together with selected and invited original contributions, are collected in this book. Topics covered are those that emerged at DART'09 as the most intriguing and challenging: (i) community oriented tools and techniques as infrastructure of the Web 2.0; (ii) agent technology applied to virtual world scenarios; (iii) context aware information retrieval; (iv) content based information retrieval; and (v) industrial applications of information retrieval. Every chapter, before discussing in depth the specific topic, presents a comprehensive review of related work and state of the art, in the hope of this volume to be of use in the years to come, to both researchers and students.
