Frameworks for understanding emotions and their development: Functionalist and dynamic systems approaches.

In recent years, both functionalist and dynamic systems approaches have assumed increasing prominence in the study of emotion and its development, but the similarities and differences between these perspectives remain largely unexplored and open to more systematic examination. In this article, the authors argue that both approaches share a systems view of emotion and regard emotion in relational, process terms. However, each approach adopts a distinct level of analysis and distinct types of explanation for emotion and its development. Whereas the functionalist approach appeals to formal and final causes to explain patterning in emotion at the level of organism-environment relations, the dynamic systems approach appeals to efficient and material causes to explain emotion at the specific content level of behavior in context. Whether these approaches complement or conflict with one another depends on the extent to which the dynamic systems approach admits abstraction into its explanatory framework. A. Fogel's social process theory and M. D. Lewis' approach to emotion self-organization are discussed in this regard. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Surface and normal ensembles for surface reconstruction

The majority of the existing techniques for surface reconstruction and the closely related problem of normal reconstruction are deterministic. Their main advantages are the speed and, given a reasonably good initial input, the high quality of the reconstructed surfaces. Nevertheless, their deterministic nature may hinder them from effectively handling incomplete data with noise and outliers. An ensemble is a statistical technique which can improve the performance of deterministic algorithms by putting them into a statistics based probabilistic setting. In this paper, we study the suitability of ensembles in normal and surface reconstruction. We experimented with a widely used normal reconstruction technique [Hoppe H, DeRose T, Duchamp T, McDonald J, Stuetzle W. Surface reconstruction from unorganized points. Computer Graphics 1992;71-8] and Multi-level Partitions of Unity implicits for surface reconstruction [Ohtake Y, Belyaev A, Alexa M, Turk G, Seidel H-P. Multi-level partition of unity implicits. ACM Transactions on Graphics 2003;22(3):463-70], showing that normal and surface ensembles can successfully be combined to handle noisy point sets.     

高校教师在多媒体教学中的角色思考

多媒体教学已经成为高校重要的教学组织形式。目前多媒体教学中存在的诸多问题源于多媒体教学中的认识误区。解决这些问题的关键在于明确教师在多媒体教学中的主导地位。教师在高校多媒体教学中应发挥课程开发和设计者、教学资源和教学信息整合者、教学活动组织者、学生学习合作者、教学研究实践者等五个方面的作用。

矢量图形智能判断技术的研究与应用

研究矢量图形识别是建立工程制图自动阅卷与计算机辅助教学系统的基础。由于组成二维矢量图形图元类型的多样化及图形整体位置状态的不确定性，增加了矢量图形的识别与判断难度。结合开发的《三视图智能解答》系统，研究其智能识别与判断技术。系统中引入三视图导航技术，解决了图形整体定位与识别问题。实现了对矢量图形图元素信息的分类和提取，能够对所提取的的信息与标准答案进行智能判断与评定。该方法已在AutoCAD2000环境下使用AutoLISP语言编程实现。

数据挖掘课程案例教学研究

数据挖掘是一门交叉性学科,是情报学专业的重要课程之一。它主要介绍数据挖掘的基本概念、原理、方法和技术,涉及多个学科和算法因而教学难度较大。由于数据挖掘学科交叉性强涉及的挖掘方法和相关算法多并繁杂,造成学生对数据挖掘的整体工作流程缺乏了解形成“不识庐山真面目只缘身在此山中”现象。文中以时间序列服装销售额预测挖掘项目为教学案例让学生首先掌握数据挖掘的标准流程,重点讲解用到的相关挖掘方法和算法及其在实际挖掘环境中的开发方法,达到“会当I临绝顶一览众山小”的教学目标。通过教学实践教学效果良好。
