We use the classification system elaborated by the famous librarian, poet and scholar Callimachus focusing primarily on the field of Greek poetry and drama in the 3rd century BC. Accordingly, we select those ancient and well-known authors on that field whose texts, completed with short biographical data, may be a good starting point for the content of the virtual library which we would like to gradually develop to be a knowledge base of literary content. Currently we are using the English translations of the selected ancient Greek texts with the intention to gradually improve the content of the library with other texts and multimedia materials (other translations, paintings, commentaries, related texts from the ancient and modern culture etc.) which would serve as background knowledge for the interpretation of the texts. We present a web-based search and presentation interface created for our three dimensional virtual library model which provides both a 3D and a spatial 2D hypertext representation of the search results. We describe a scale-free network model, the so-called Alexandrian model of network, which the organization and future development of the represented library content is based on. Finally, we discuss the main purpose and possible applications of our virtual library model.","PeriodicalId":377891,"journal":{"name":"2015 6th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom)","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133857655","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}

The project is aimed at solving basic and applied research tasks to develop an application to support the speech teaching and understanding of deaf and hearing-impaired people more effectively than known methods. The idea of the project has come from an audio-visual transcoder for sound visualization developed at the University of Debrecen, and a three-dimensional head model for articulation presentation, called `talking head' developed at the University of Miskolc. The most important aim of the project is to create a complex system to provide audio-visual speech recognition by visualization of images of speech and articulation, setting up an educational framework. In addition, the system has many other features (prosody display, automatic evaluation and knowledge-based systems implementation), which subsequently allow individual practice not only on computers but also on mobile devices. However, it is important to note that personal contribution of surdo-pedagogues can not be replaced, but can greatly support. The module performing the required audio-visual transcoding is language-independent, the talking head, moreover automatic qualification can be made language-independent by training new neural networks. For development of automatic qualification, the recorded speech samples has been required to be evaluated by surdo-pedagogues and lay students. The online evaluation system developed for this purpose is shown in this paper.","PeriodicalId":377891,"journal":{"name":"2015 6th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121493715","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}

Even the virtual presence of the partner means a difference in quality when engaged in a cooperative task. The purpose of this paper is to analyze social interactions in a virtual workspace. Earlier researches about the psychological features of online, remote, and virtual collaborations are also summarized. The research task replicates the process of creating an interesting holiday plan for tourists visiting Budapest. In the virtual tourist office, there are posters and a map available for the participants to create a feasible schedule for two days. The research was conducted in the VirCA (3D Virtual Collaboration Area), and includes a total of 12 analyses of dialogs recorded during the task. In completion of that, the participants' prior experiences and subjective impressions of the experiment are also measured. The efficiency of task output as a quality measure was compared with the dialogs' content analysis. The task completion time showed a strong positive correlation with the utterance category of coordination and also showed a strong but negative correlation with utterances of information sharing. The assertiveness had no connection with the efficiency index number, which was calculated by us. Results may provide a solid basis to gain better insight into the question of designing and planning task- and goal-specific communication. Conclusions may also bring guidance on how to use the virtual space more efficiently, making it more productive to collaborate.","PeriodicalId":377891,"journal":{"name":"2015 6th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123541406","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}

More specifically, we investigated the reaction time employed by the participants to determine the semantic congruence of sentences and gesture pictures which are semantically related in different ways. In one case the gesture conveys the same content as the sentence, in the second case it provides additional content to the sentence. The hypothesis that we wanted to test was that the reaction time would be shorter in the latter case than in the former since preceding corpus-based studies have indicated that speech and gestures conveying the same information are more temporally synchronous than speech and gestures which convey complementary information. Therefore, we expect that it will be harder to process semantic congruency for gestures which usually are synchronous to speech if they follow the sentences they are related to than in the case where gestures provide additional information. Our study confirms the hypothesis showing that not only was the participants reaction time shorter in the case of gestures which provided additional information to sentences, but also that the accuracy in the semantic congruency task was higher.","PeriodicalId":377891,"journal":{"name":"2015 6th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130760523","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}
