We invented an efficient approach for Translation Verification Test (TVT). This approach allows testers to recognize changes in the Program Integrated Information (PII) strings from an old version to a new version. This approach not only shows the changes, but also displays the original English strings next to the Japanese strings. We can apply this approach to most internationalized software. Testers can avoid unnecessary checking of the PII strings that were checked in the prior TVTs. By using this approach, the time for checking the PII strings can be reduced by up to 5% of the usual time. The simultaneous display of the Japanese and English PII strings also helps the testers to improve the quality of the verification.

In this research, we evaluate pseudo-haptic, olfactory, gustatory stimulation with visual feedback to construct multi-modal display system. To evaluate pseudo-haptics, we introduce EMG and show relationship between visual feedback and subjective evaluation. To evaluate pseudo-olfaction, we construct two olfactory display systems with visual feedback and demonstrate olfactory illusion. To evaluate pseudo-gustation, we examine relationship between drink colors and taste by using dye addition juice.

We propose law professionals and amateurs supporting system for upcoming ¿lay judge system¿. The supporting system finds past cases which are similar to a target case and estimates a sentence of target case. After describing the need of such project, we carry out an preliminary experiment to extract similar judicial precedents and estimate a sentence based on features of noun words. Then we introduce our preliminary findings and possibility of tagging and using so called Nagayama criteria used by human judges.

In order to enrich visual communications, we present a non-photorealistic rendering technique that depicts motion of 3D objects in a still image. To realize this technique, ¿speed line¿, one of the most familiar techniques in Japanese cartoon ¿manga¿, is introduced. Our technique firstly decomposes a combined motion of 3D objects into a translational motion of the center of gravity of the object and its rotational motion. Then, to depict motion of the 3D object, we render texture-mapped polygons that generated from a series of geometrical positions of the 3D object that represent its animation progress with the 3D objects. Textures mapped to the polygons are changed automatically according to the speed of the 3D object. Experimental results verify that our technique is effective enough to automatically depict various motions of 3D objects in real time.

Chinese is a tonal language. It has both lexical tones and intonation. The fundamental frequency (F0) contours thereby consist of tone and intonation components. This paper presents an approach to modeling the two components in separate ways and combining them to form the final F0 contours based on a functional F0 model. We analyze tonal patterns as sparse target points (tonal F0 peaks and valleys) and model them using classification and regression trees (CART) with contextual linguistic features. As a first step, we stylize expressive intonation using a few piecewise linear patterns specified by a few markup tags. Both tonal and intonational patterns are represented in a parametric form within the framework of this F0 model. Our experimental results indicated that very low F0 prediction errors were achieved by the CART-based modeling of the tonal patterns uttered by two female and male speakers. In a listening test, the native speakers could identify 90% of synthesized stimuli with enhancing emphasis in word. Also, the linguistic features related to the lexical tone context and distinction between voiced and unvoiced initials played the most important role in characterizing the tonal patterns.

Motion parallax was described as a cue to depth over 300 years ago and as producing apparent motion over 150 years ago. In recent years, experimental interest in motion parallax has increased, following there discovery of the idea of yoking stimulus motion to head movement. Contemporary research indicates how depth and motion perception are dependent on the conditions of stimulation. From what we know about motion parallax, we suggest an experimental 3-D display system.

Relevance feedback is an important source of information about a user and often used for usage and user modeling for further personalization of user-system interactions. In this paper we present a method to infer the userpsilas interests from his/her relevance feedback using an online incremental clustering method. For inference of a new interest (concept) and concept update the method uses the similarity characteristics of uniform user relevance feedback. It is fast, easy to implement and gives reasonable clustering results. We evaluate the method against two different data sets, demonstrate and discuss the outcomes.

To give listeners a vivid sense of 3D spatial audio, virtual auditory display technology relies crucially on head related transfer functions (HRTFs). However, as each person has unique morphological characteristics of their head and ears, for a realistic auditory experience it is important to use personalized HRTFs. Our approach to HRTF personalization is first to measure a listener's head and ear morphology, currently by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); then to use the 3D morphological data in computer simulation of sound wave propagation, by the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. This paper summarizes our methods and recent improvements, which have led to obtaining more faithful, personalized HRTFs by FDTD simulation.

Query-recommendation systems based on inputted queries have become widespread. These services are effective if users cannot input relevant queries. However, the conventional systems do not take into consideration the relevance between recommended queries. This paper proposes a method of obtaining related queries and clustering them by using the history of query frequencies in query logs. We define similarity in queries based on the history of query frequency and use it for clustering queries. We selected various queries and extracted related queries and then clustered them. We found that our method was useful for clustering queries that were used in around the same term.

This paper elaborates on context assessment strategies for smart homes and, in a broader perspective, for context-aware cognitive systems. The proposed framework, which is inspired by a cognitive theory called functionalism, is aimed at integrating ontology and logic approaches to context modeling. Two are the assumptions underlying the model: (i) the availability of an ontology (i.e., a "context-role" representation of what exists in a given domain); (ii) a simple inference schema (i.e., subsumption between concepts). The context model is formally defined adopting a structural approach, which describes contexts and situations as recursive structures grounded with respect to the ontology. Examples are presented to discuss the proposed model.
