Especially, mobile phones or remotes for video games using gesture recognition technologies enable easy and intuitive operations such as scrolling browser and drawing objects. Gesture input has an advantage of rich expressive power over the conventional interfaces, but it is difficult to share the gesture motion with other people through writing or verbally. Assuming that a commercial product using gestures is released, the developers make an instruction manual and tutorial expressing the gestures in text, figures, or videos. Then an end-user reads the instructions, imagines the gesture, then perform it. In this paper, we evaluate how user gestures change according to the types of the instruction. We obtained acceleration data for 10 kinds of gestures instructed through three types of texts, figures, and videos, totalling 44 patterns from 13 test subjects, for a total of 2,630 data samples. From the evaluation, gestures are correctly performed in the order of text→figure→video. Detailed instruction in texts is equivalent to that in figures. However, some words reflecting gestures disordered the users’ gestures since they could call multiple images to user’s mind.","PeriodicalId":16243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Processing","volume":"10 1","pages":"269-280"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63625599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dependency parsing, in particular, has been widely employed for the acquisition of knowledge related to predicate-argument structures. For such tasks, the dependency parsing performance can determine quality of acquired knowledge, regardless of target languages. There-fore, reducing dependency parsing errors and selecting high quality dependencies is of primary importance. In this study, we present a language-independent approach for automatically selecting high quality dependencies from automatic parses. By con-sidering several aspects that affect the accuracy of dependency parsing, we created a set of features for supervised classification of reliable dependencies. Experimental results on seven languages show that our approach can effectively select high quality dependencies from dependency parses.","PeriodicalId":16243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Processing","volume":"10 1","pages":"113-132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71087536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We further propose an unsupervised expectation-maximization algorithm for parameter estimation, in which all possible dependency structures of a sentence are considered. As the algorithm is language-independent, it can be used on a raw corpus from any language, without any part-of-speech annotation, tree-bank or trained parser. We conducted experiments using four languages, i.e., English, German, Spanish and Japanese, to illustrate the applicability and the properties of the proposed approach.

The model can be trained efficiently by a state-based blocked Gibbs sampling algorithm with signal and noise states. The proposed method bootstraps statistical machine transliteration using the extracted transliteration fragments to train transliteration models. In experiments using Japanese-English patent data, the proposed method was able to extract transliteration fragments with much less noise than an IBM-model-based baseline, and achieved better transliteration performance than sample-wise extraction in transliteration bootstrapping.","PeriodicalId":16243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Processing","volume":"21 1","pages":"1107-1131"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71087400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pre-reordering methods have been proven efficient and effective; however, they need reliable parsers to extract the syntactic structure of the source sentences. On one hand, we propose a framework in which only part-of-speech (POS) tags and unlabeled dependency parse trees are used to minimize the influence of parse errors, and linguistic knowledge on structural difference is encoded in the form of reordering rules. We show significant improvements in translation quality of sentences in the news domain over state-of-the-art reordering methods. On the other hand, we explore the relationship between dependency parsing and our pre-reordering method from two aspects: POS tags and dependencies. We observe the effects of different parse errors on reordering performance by combining empirical and descriptive approaches. In the empirical approach, we quantify the distribution of general parse errors along with reordering quality. In the descriptive approach, we extract seven influential error patterns and examine their correlations with reordering errors.","PeriodicalId":16243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Processing","volume":"9 1","pages":"272-301"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63627239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In spite of the simplicity of the program- ming model, there are many applications that are hard to be implemented by MapReduce, due to their innate characters of computational dependency. In this paper we propose a new approach of using the programming pattern accumulate over MapReduce, to handle a large class of problems that cannot be simply divided into independent sub-computations. Using this accumulate pattern, many problems that have computational dependency can be easily expressed, and then the programs will be transformed to MapReduce programs executed on large clusters. Users without much knowledge of MapReduce can also easily write programs in a sequential manner but finally obtain efficient and scalable MapRe- duce programs. We describe the programming interface of our accumulate framework and explain how to transform a user-specified accumulate computation to an efficient MapReduce program. Our experiments and evaluations illustrate the usefulness and efficiency of the framework.","PeriodicalId":16243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Processing","volume":"9 1","pages":"73-82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63626811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We developed a com- putational technique for matching these texture and physical stimulus spaces based on multivariate analysis approaches. The texture space is established via a semantic differ- ential method. The physical space is based on vibrotactile spectrum information, one of the most commonly used principles for the analysis and artificial presentation of textures. The bases of the physical space were determined to ensure that the material allocations for the two spaces were similar, and we obtained well-matched spaces for 18 material samples. These successfully matched spaces will provide an analytic tool for material tex- tures, and will help users of vibrotactile texture displays design virtual materials using adjectives or the names of materials.","PeriodicalId":16243,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Processing","volume":"9 1","pages":"505-516"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63627261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
