-Contextual Information is proving to be not only an additional exploitable information source for improving entity and situational estimates in certain Information Fusion systems, but can also be the entire focus of estimation for such systems as those directed to Ambient Intelligence (AI) and Context-Aware(CA) applications. This paper will discuss the role(s) of Contextual Information (CI) in a wide variety of IF applications to include AI, CA, Defense, and Cybersecurity among possible others, the issues involved in designing strategies and techniques for CI use and exploitation, provide some exemplars of evolving CI use/exploitation designs on our current projects, and describe some general frameworks that are evolving in various application domains where CI is proving critical.
-This paper presents a soft information fusion framework for creating a propositional graph from natural language messages with an emphasis on producing these graphs for fusion with other messages. The framework utilizes artificial intelligence techniques from natural language understanding, knowledge representation, and information retrieval.
The Trail is an interactive drama running on an immersive VR system. Imagine Tarkovsky's Stalker, crossed with Alice Through the Looking Glass, crossed with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Now imagine embarking on a guided journey through this warped yet familiar landscape. Your guides are two intelligent agents, Patofil and Filopat. We consider a virtual reality drama to be a scripted play in which the computational agents are actors who have copies of the script, and one human audience member has been drafted to be a participant, but doesn't have a copy of the script. The computational actors must improvise reactions to the human participant's actions, but keep the play moving along in as close agreement to the script as possible. The goal is to provide the human participant with a specific emotional experience.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
