A Manifold-Based Dimension Reduction Algorithm Framework for Noisy Data Using Graph Sampling and Spectral Graph by Tao Yang, Dongmei Fu, Jintao Meng

“…Thus, manifold learning methods often transform the data into an approximately smooth manifold structure; however, practical data from the physical world may not meet the requirements. The proposed framework follows the idea of the localization of manifolds and uses graph sampling to determine some local anchor points from the given data. …”

A Dynamic Bayesian Approach to Computational Laban Shape Quality Analysis by Dilip Swaminathan, Harvey Thornburg, Jessica Mumford, Stjepan Rajko, Jodi James, Todd Ingalls, Ellen Campana, Gang Qian, Pavithra Sampath, Bo Peng

“…As we argue, a complex understanding of intention via LMA is necessary for human-computer interaction to become embodied in ways that resemble interaction in the physical world. We thus introduce a novel, flexible Bayesian fusion approach for identifying LMA Shape qualities from raw motion capture data in real time. …”

The influence of infantile cues on motivated perception of threats among caregivers by Emma Murrugarra, Michael H. Goldstein

“…Here we review evidence that the task of providing care to children shapes how adults process information about threat, such as attention towards potential threat cues, perception of the social and physical world, and judgment of risk under uncertainty. …”

Émilie Du Châtelet’s Metaphysics in Light of her Concept of ‘a Being’ by Clara Carus

“…The first few chapters of Du Châtelet’s Institutions de Physique outline a metaphysical foundation that focuses on the principles of knowledge and the fundamental concepts of our knowledge of the physical world. While the first wave of contemporary Du Châtelet scholarship in the 1970s and 1980s read Du Châtelet’s metaphysical foundation as a stripped-down version of Leibniz-Wolffian metaphysics, the latest work has argued against this by suggesting that Du Châtelet’s metaphysics is a method for her physics and can stand on its own feet. …”

On the Multimodal Resolution of a Search Sequence in Virtual Reality by Nils Klowait

“…In virtual reality (VR), participants may not always have hands, bodies, eyes, or even voices—using VR helmets and two controllers, participants control an avatar through virtual worlds that do not necessarily obey familiar laws of physics; moreover, the avatar’s bodily characteristics may not neatly match our bodies in the physical world. Despite these limitations and specificities, humans get things done through collaboration and the creative use of the environment. …”

Application and prospect of blockchain in Metaverse by Xiaoling SONG, Yong LIU, Jingnan DONG, Yongfei HUANG

“…The metaverse is a new ecology that seamlessly integrates the virtual digital world and the real physical world, and has recently attracted widespread attention from all walks of life.With the maturity of various new IT technologies such as blockchain technology, artificial intelligence technology, VR/AR and sensing technology, mobile communication technology and ubiquitous computing technology, the further development of the Metaverse is possible.At present, research on the Metaverse mainly involves industrial projects, infrastructure, key technologies, privacy and security, etc.Although blockchain technology is covered in these studies, the specific points about the advantages of blockchain applied to the Metaverse are still lacked.Blockchain technology can not only provide an open and free decentralized environment for the Metaverse, but also act as a fair and reasonable digital asset distribution mechanism.The digital identity and digital asset management in the Metaverse empowered by blockchain was studied.The development process and characteristics of the Metaverse were analyzed.And the core technologies and challenges faced by the development of the Metaverse were discussed.Meanwhile, the key technologies of the blockchain were studied, and the feasibility of applying the blockchain to the Metaverse was analyzed from two aspects: the essential characteristics of the blockchain and the advantages of other technology integration.The Metaverse ecosystem architecture was further proposed, and the blockchain-based self-sovereign identity management model, blockchain-NFT workflow and its application in the Metaverse were analyzed in detail.Furthermore, combining the latest research progress of blockchain and the Metaverse, it was pointed out that the application of blockchain to the Metaverse will be from four aspects: infrastructure, communication and computing resource management mechanisms, regulation and privacy protection, and blockchain scalability and interoperability.Then the related challenges ahead and future research directions were presented at last.…”
