This overview presents the current state-of-the-art of self-adaptive technologies within virtual reality (VR) training. Virtual reality training and assessment is increasingly used for five key areas: medical, industrial & commercial training, serious games, rehabilitation and remote training such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Adaptation can be applied to five core technologies of VR including haptic devices, stereo graphics, adaptive content, assessment and autonomous agents. Automation of VR training can contribute to automation of actual procedures including remote and robotic assisted surgery which reduces injury and improves accuracy of the procedure. Automated haptic interaction can enable tele-presence and virtual artefact tactile interaction from either remote or simulated environments. Automation, machine learning and data driven features play an important role in providing trainee-specific individual adaptive training content. Data from trainee assessment can form an input to autonomous systems for customised training and automated difficulty levels to match individual requirements. Self-adaptive technology has been developed previously within individual technologies of VR training. One of the conclusions of this research is that while it does not exist, an enhanced portable framework is needed and it would be beneficial to combine automation of core technologies, producing a reusable automation framework for VR training.

“…The construction of the library's knowledge resource ecosystem is a complex process. Guided by the user's knowledge needs, it aims to maximize user satisfaction through knowledge value optimization [20]. In the era of rapid development of knowledge economy, in order to better provide guarantee for teaching and scientific research and comprehensively increase the number of national knowledge reserves, colleges and universities' intelligent libraries should conform to the needs of the knowledge economy era and build a reliable ecosystem of knowledge resources.…”

The intelligent library uses ecological theory to construct a knowledge resource ecosystem to provide users with better knowledge services. At the same time, it can promote knowledge circulation and innovation, reduce the cost of knowledge utilization, and improve the level of intelligent services. This paper introduces the ecosystem of library knowledge resources and its characteristics. This paper introduces the main functions of the university's knowledge resource ecosystem, and designs a knowledge resource ecosystem framework with specific functional modules. And established a corresponding operational guarantee mechanism. The wisdom of the library and the wisdom of information management are inseparable from technology and people. The design thinking co-ordinates the relationship between libraries, technology and people, and clearly grasps all the links in the construction of smart libraries. Design thinking makes the construction of smart libraries the technical application in the chapter is easy to use, and the future development trend of the library is examined from a new perspective. Reinterpreting smart libraries from three dimensions: wireless penetration, intelligent mobility and comprehensive sensibility. According to the "comprehensive perception" attribute of wearable technology, it is introduced into the research of intelligent library management and service. By building its infrastructure, to achieve the goal of building "five smart" smart library.

Interactions with embodied conversational agents can be enhanced using human-like co-speech gestures. Traditionally, rule-based co-speech gesture mapping has been utilized for this purpose. However, the creation of this mapping is laborious and often requires human experts. Moreover, human-created mapping tends to be limited, therefore prone to generate repeated gestures. In this article, we present an approach to automate the generation of rule-based co-speech gesture mapping from publicly available large video data set without the intervention of human experts. At run-time, word embedding is utilized for rule searching to get the semantic-aware, meaningful, and accurate rule. The evaluation indicated that our method achieved comparable performance with the manual map generated by human experts, with a more variety of gestures activated. Moreover, synergy effects were observed in users' perception of generated co-speech gestures when combined with the manual map.
