A human can lift up an object with almost minimal grasping force regardless of the friction coefficient between the fingers and the object, but the sensing mechanism for this rema...
This paper describes a method for learner modelling for use within simulation-based learning environments. The goal of the learner modelling system is to provide the learner with a...
The paper shows how the verbal lexicon can be formalised in a way that captures and exploits generalisations about the alternation behaviour of verb classes. An alternation is a p...
Convex optimization problems arising in applications, possibly as approximations of intractable problems, are often structured and large scale. When the data are noisy, it is of i...
