In a multi/many-core system, the network-on-chip (NoC)-based communication backbone is responsible for a relevant fraction of the overall energy budget. Reducing the voltage swing for signaling in crossbars and links results in significant energy saving. Unfortunately, as voltage swing reduces, the bit error rate increases, that in turn compromises the communication reliability. Starting from the...
Live coding is a performance discipline that considers code as an interface. The act of writing, deleting and modifying code allows a performer to directly interact with their context through the creation of computational side effects such as sounds and visuals. A commonly used tool for many kinds of expression is randomness which enables the introduction of automated variation into performances....
For the functioning of American democracy, the Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA), for the very first time, provides data to empirically research interest groups behaviors and their influence on congressional policymaking. One of the main research challenges is to automatically find the topic(s), by short & sparse text classification, in a large corpus of unorganized, semi-structured, and poorly...
Investigated the relationship between change over time in severity of depression symptoms and facial expression. Depressed participants were followed over the course of treatment and video recorded during a series of clinical interviews. Facial expressions were analyzed from the video using both manual and automatic systems. Automatic and manual coding were highly consistent for FACS action units,...
Current consumer-level mobile Internet applications involve many potential sources of dissatisfaction. Studying these sources is necessary, especially for newer application areas such as mobile interaction with the real world. This study combined previous studies to form a categorization framework of dissatisfaction sources and gathered qualitative data using critical incident technique and overall...
Technology scaling has led to unreliable computing hardware due to high susceptibility against soft errors. In this paper, we propose an error-resilient architecture for Context-Adaptive Variable Length Coding (CAVLC) in H.264/AVC. Due to its context-adaptive nature and intricate control flow CAVLC is very sensitive to soft errors. An error during the CAVLC process (especially during the context adaptation...
This paper explores the applicability of the 'Western' concept of psychological capital to the People's Republic of China (PRC) context and highlights critical areas of divergence. Employing a grounded approach, Optimism, Creativity, Resiliency, Self-confidence, Forgiveness and Gratitude, Courage and Ambition (Hope) were found to be common types of psychological capital both in China and in the West...
Nowadays the computer-aided Communicative Language Teaching has been widely applied in Chinese universities. This paper is to prove the effectiveness and viability of it by using case studies through classroom observations, diary entries and interviews.
Automatic inference of affect relies on representative data. For viable applications of such technology the use of naturalistic over posed data has been increasingly emphasised. Creating a repository of naturalistic data is however a massively challenging task. We report results from a data collection exercise in one of the most significant application areas of affective computing, namely computer-based...
