The objective of the present study was to develop a data-driven framework for MMI (multimodal interaction) system development. In the area of software engineering, data-driven development methods have proven to be reusable and extensible in the object-oriented paradigm. We have designed an object-oriented data modeling language for MMI systems and an extended elements of HTML for interaction description. The proposed framework uses the extended Rails framework as a generator of the MVC (Model-View-Controller) elements from the proposed objectoriented data modeling language. As the generated view code is written in extended HTML, we also implemented a speech browser for the extended HTML. We evaluated the framework by rapidly implementing a messaging system and examined its extensibility by a functionality expansion test.
We are currently developing a multimodal motion learning system designed to help students master the procedures used in traditional arts, as well as traditional crafting techniques. In this paper, we introduce a prototype of a system that is designed to utilize a virtual agent, and investigate a comprehensive timing representation method that pays specific attention to the significant pauses that are sometimes interjected between motions. By acknowledging the existence of such significant pauses, we believe it is possible for learners to improve their motion learning performance.
Adenomyoepithelioma is thought to be a low-grade malignancy, and cases showing malignant behavior are rare.
