Humans can communicate because they adapt and adjust their behavior to each other. Developing a relationship with a robot, on the other hand, is difficult, especially with a robot that humans have never met before. However, little investigation has addressed interaction when no information about the interaction partner has been provided and with no experimental task. We must clarify how people perceive unknown objects as agents through interaction. We created an experimental environment to observe the interaction between human and a robot whose behavior was actually mapped by another human. The participants verbalized what they were thinking or feeling while interacting with the robot. The results of our experiment suggest that the timing of the movements was used as a cue for interaction development. We need to verify the effects of other interaction patterns and inspect what kinds of actions and reactions are regarded as signals that enhance interpersonal interaction.

A Distributed Genetic Algorithm to compute minimal reducts is presented for a novel biomedical application to distinguish 50 medical drugs from 228 side effects. The results indicate that 15 side effects are sufficient to differentiate among all the 50 drugs. In fact, any one of 4 sets of 15 side effects can be used. The Distributed Genetic Algorithm is inherently parallel, uses a variable mutation rate and is efficiently implemented on a PC cluster using 5, 10 and 20 nodes each with a Message Passing Interface. Results show that the distributed algorithm with 20 nodes uses much less computation time than two sequential methods (savings of about a factor of 5).

Discourse information such as context and topics must be tracked in order to achieve cooperative interaction in a decision support system with natural language interfaces. This paper presents a method for processing topics, one aspects of the context, in goal-oriented dialogs. In our method, topics are recognized by matching in a fuzzy thesaurus and tracked by using a topic stack. Results of application to an information consultation system show our method can effectively recognize topics from surface expressions.

Second language lexicon acquisition has been an important aspect in second language acquisition study. Different from the traditional researches, this paper tries to study second language lexical acquisition from a cognitive perspective. The application of the cognitive perspectives will help language learners and researchers better understand the second language lexical acquisition process, which will in turn reveal the nature of second language lexicon acquisition.
