Laura Hoppe, \u2716, Receives Fulbright Grant

Laura Hoppe, ’16, Wyoming, has been awarded a Fulbright U.S. Student Award for 2016-2017. Hoppe, a Spanish and Latin American area studies major, is the third student from the University of Minnesota, Morris to receive a Fulbright award in the last two years

Sprache und Sprachtechnik : Alfred Hoppe zum Geburtstag

Zimmermann nimmt in diesem Artkel über Sprache in Informationsprozessen ausdrücklich einen "Ingenieurs-Standpunkt" ein und nennt fünf Bereiche mit anwendungsorientierten Entwicklungen: die elektronische Textverarbeitung, die Mensch-Maschine-Kommunikation (Frage-Antwort-Systeme), das maschinelle "Verstehen" gesprochener Sprache, das automatische Indexieren (bis hin zur Inhaltsanalyse), die maschinelle und maschinengestützte Sprachübersetzung. Der Schwerpunkt der Betrachtung liegt auf den Aspekten Lexikon und Morphologie, Syntax und Semanto-Syntax sowie Sprach- und Weltwissen

Higher-Dimensional Integrable Systems from Multilinear Evolution Equations

A multilinear M-dimensional generalization of Lax pairs is introduced and its explicit form is given for the recently discovered class of time-harmonic, integrable, hypersurface motions.Comment: 5 page

Detection of cochlear hearing loss applying wavelet packets and support vector machines

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the application of the wavelet packet transform (WP) and support vector machines (SVM) to transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) in order to achieve a detection of frequency-specific hearing loss. We introduce a system to determine detection rates between groups of persons with normal hearing, high frequency hearing loss, and pantonal hearing loss. The validity and use of our approach is verified on a different patient group

Situation Creator: A Pedagogical Agent Creating Learning Opportunities

Miao, Y., Hoppe, H. U., & Pinkwart, N. (2007). Situation Creator: A Pedagogical Agent Creating Learning Opportunities. In R. Luckin, K. Koedinger & J. Greer (Eds.), Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education (pp. 614-617). Amsterdam, The Netherlands: IOS Press.In a multi-user, real-time, and situation-based learning environment, the availability of enough and appropriate situations is crucial for success. In order to improve effectiveness and efficiency of learning, we develop a new type of pedagogical agent: situation creator. Such an agent intentionally creates specific situations in the shared virtual driving place according to users’ performance information. We conduct a pilot evaluation and found that the situation creators significantly increase the number of situations that a learner can expect to encounter while using the system

SEM-EDS analyses of small craters in stardust aluminium foils: implications for the Wild-2 dust distribution

Implications for the Wild-2 dust distribution of the statistical results obtained by SEM-EDS from nearly 300 impact craters on aluminium foils of the Stardust sample tray assembly

Coding and Compression of Three Dimensional Meshes by Planes

The present paper suggests a new approach for geometric representation of 3D spatial models and provides a new compression algorithm for 3D meshes, which is based on mathematical theory of convex geometry. In our approach we represent a 3D convex polyhedron by means of planes, containing only its faces. This allows not to consider topological aspects of the problem (connectivity information among vertices and edges) since by means of the planes we construct the polyhedron uniquely. Due to the fact that the topological data is ignored this representation provides high degree of compression. Also planes based representation provides a compression of geometrical data because most of the faces of the polyhedron are not triangles but polygons with more than three vertices.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure
