Which search engine is best for academic research? Hint: It's not Wikipedia

PubMed

PubMed is a free resource supporting the search and retrieval of biomedical and life sciences literature with the aim of improving health–both globally and personally.

The PubMed database contains more than 34 million citations and abstracts of biomedical literature. It does not include full-text journal articles; however, links to the full text are often present when available from other sources, such as the publisher's website or PubMed Central (PMC).

Available to the public online since 1996, PubMed was developed and is maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), at the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), located at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Google Scholar

Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts, and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities, and other websites. Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research.

Semantic Scholar

Semantic Scholar provides free, AI-driven search and discovery tools, and open resources for the global research community. With Semantic Scholar, researchers can understand a paper at a glance. Our system extracts meaning and identifies connections from within papers, then surfaces these insights to help Scholars discover and understand research.

Connected Papers

Connected Papers is a unique, visual tool to help researchers and applied scientists find and explore papers relevant to their field of work.

Research Rabbit

me : casually researching for scholar papers about fashion history in relation with mondialisation for a paper for my history class

semanticscholars, probs knowing i am a philosophy major :

˖⁺‧₊˚✦ ways to make your laptop aesthetic feat. some extensions, websites & apps for students

i created this cause i found some time to finally upgrade and properly personalise my laptop, it took me almost an entire day watching youtube videos, researching for these and setting them up. so... i'm basically posting this for myself lol, but i also feel like sharing cause these are actually really good hehe

i'm using a windows laptop but i think most of these should work on mac too. most of these are free but there are maybe like less than five that require to be paid.

those that are marked with an asterisk (*) are the ones that i'm currently using while others are recommended or alternatives!

here is what my home screen looks like now:

i. screen saver

fliqlo (ios & win) * flipit (win, an inspired & alt ver of ^) flix clock (mac & web, paid ver comes with colours other than black) aura gradient clock (mac & web) retro anime desk clock (mac) flocus (web) * studywithme (web) note: remember to right-click the file and select "install", then ensure that the wait time (e.g: 5 mins) is less than your "turn off your screen" and "put my device to sleep after" (e.g: both 15 mins) in power settings

ii. tab themes

kluk: a clock tab theme * angry study helper: a tab theme that gets angy at u whenever u open a new tab gratitutab: a minimalistic tab theme that works as a to-do list prioritab: a tab theme that shows priorities that u had set for the day, week, and month

iii. extensions

tldr this: summarizes long docs, websites, articles, etc. with just a click * paperpanda: download research papers by clicking on it, it searches on domains like google scholar, semanticscholar, aodoi, and more * coffeelings: mainly a mood tracker that also saves mini journal entries colorzilla: an eyedropper colour picker * whatfont: click on it and hover on any text to show what font it is * mybib: an apa, mla, harvard, and more styles citation generator * read aloud: a tts reader that supports more than 40+ languages * notion web clipper: creates a website into a bookmark into notion * noisli: lets u listen to relaxing playlist while u study/work

iv. websites

lofi.cafe i miss the office i miss my cafe i miss my bar i miss my library a soft murmur patatap tomato timers animedoro lifeat coolors blush designs untools fontjoy zenpen decision maker museum of endangered sounds future me

v. apps

virtual cottage chill corner notion *

vi. rainmeter skins

mond * lano visualizer amatical * small clean weather animated * ageo sonder * cloudy harmattan note: if you're new to rainmeter, it can be a bit overwhelming, u may check out this short and simple tutorial on it, make sure to read the instructions if you're using complicated skins like weather (may require u to edit in txt), i also highly rec watching techrifle's videos

vii. misc.

wallpaper engine * (highly rec getting from chillhop) my live wallpaper (free alt of ^) translucenttb * roundedtb note: u can disable your shortcut icons to be invisible by right-clicking on your home screen, go to "view", and untick "show desktop icons", this is optional and i would always enable it whenever i'm working and gaming for easier access, i also set the icons to small

Sources & Significance 1_1.11 - Critical Analysis

Part 1 - Introduction:

Initially the piece largely tasks itself with outlining what interactive narrative is. It then posits 3 core research questions:

How does a computational system determine what should happen next in the narrative?

What does a computational system need to know about the fictional world and the user in order to reason about the user's narrative experience?

How does a computational system intervene in the fictional world to bring about an engaging experience?

Part 2 - Experience Management:

Defining the issues a coherent narrative and progressing events that build off one another create, especially when viewed in potential opposition to the player's agency. We move across player introduced inconsistencies (defined as events the system is unable to build from) brought about by the player's desires to change the story, test the system or potentially even brought about unknowingly. This posits the key challenge being the balance between player immersion through their ability to affect the narrative and the system's ability to ensure a coherent narrative. The introduced solution being a digital system here called an 'Experience Manager', somewhat of an autonomous surrogate for the author. This experience manager would shape the narrative on behalf of the player (who would be unaware of the Experience Manager's existence), intervening and diverting the path of the player through a branching narrative structure and NPC interactions in accordance with the Player's agency. The Manager would manage the narrative through 'world states' and the projection of the best possible narrative given by the player's agency. The Manager would then use hard or soft constraints on the narrative structure using pre-determined aesthetic considerations. This would essentially result in a 'penning in' of the player into a narrative path determined by their own actions.

Part 3 - Taxonomy of Approaches to Interactive Media:

Here the author addresses the variety of issues that may stem from creating an interactive narrative:

Authorial Intent

Virtual Character Autonomy

Player Modelling

Point 1 (Authorial Intent) concerns itself with the degree the author's intent may constrain the interactivity of the narrative and the sense in which a system can assume the creative responsibilities of a human author.

SEMANTICSCHOLAR. [Online]. Available at: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Interactive-Narrative%3A-An-Intelligent-Systems-Riedl-Bulitko/8cc0b359ac723d819be3343b20df9c6beaaa7bee

Above is a figure displaying the constraint of authorial intent by systems, with the systems on the left catering more to the author's intent and the further right we go the more we focus on the player's narrative experience.

A stronger author's intent can ensure the quality of the experience (at least in accordance with the author's expression, potentially leading to greater immersion through a hand-crafted narrative). While greater emphasis on the narrative system increases greater agency for the player (potentially leading to greater immersion through interactivity). At the strong authorial intent end of the interactivity spectrum we find Choose-Your-Own-Adventure and related game systems. In these games the player usually moves from node to node on a branching story graph. Branches representing player choices, while the nodes are manually-authored sections of text as response to the designated choices. As more user interaction is added, there is the danger that these graphs go beyond human calculation and it becomes the experience manager's job to assume greater decision making authority. These can be managed through a Plot-Graph (a map of possible narrative trajectories) reacting to the player's actions through constraints placed on scenarios and can even nudge the player through direct interaction in the form of tutorials or hints. The author's intent now present more through the design of the Experience Manager and it's ability to determine and manage the trajectory of the story. The further we move along the spectrum the more total the experience manager's role in crafting a satisfying narrative becomes. This is the territory of generative experience management in which the Author's involvement in the narrative is much more general while the manager is responsible for generating the narrative. It may manage the experience through domain theory (a declaration of what is and isn't possible) and the world state (conditions that allow or disallow certain conditions) without any pre-determined understanding about the order in which changes occur. Through this system the experience manager will sooner or later encounter the 'boundary problem' (recognition and response to a player's attempts to deviate from the intended narrative). The Experience Manager is likely to respond to the Boundary Problem through intervention (an act by the experience manager that will prevent the player from crossing the narrative boundary) or accommodation (allowing the deviation to occur and creating a new narrative that eliminates any inconsistencies).

-

Point 2 (Virtual Character Autonomy) concerns the autonomy of NPCs within the system's framework. It strives to investigate the balance between an NPCs ability to act consistently within their own character while also staying true to the needs of the narrative.

This is an integral part of character believability (how easy it is for the player to suspend their disbelief that this is a personality-driven, intelligent being). This is apparent in the way the Character interacts with the environment and the player. While characters are an integral part of every story they can be at odds with the structure and systems. This paper posits two opposing key views. A focus on Strong Story: where virtual characters do not act without the guidance and permission of the experience manager. or Strong Autonomy: In which virtual characters are fully autonomous agents, untethered by the needs of the overarching narrative. Interactive narratives tend to fashion their NPCs in-between these two extremes. A strong story focus will allow the experience manager high leverage over the virtual world, able to act as needed to break down plot points into performable actions as necessary. While a strong autonomy focus will create a user experience driven by the actions of NPCs. This is referred to as an emergent narrative. This is particularly synonymous with Simulation games. Which usually do not require intervention and have much looser guidance from the experience manager.

Most interactive systems try to strike a middle ground. The paper posits The Façade as an example of a interactive experience that addresses this through the breaking down of larger plot-units into executable behaviours, with the experience manager providing coherence. The NPCs autonomously determine how the plot points are realised. Similarly The Automated Story Director is mentioned as an example of fully autonomous NPCs that are directed by the experience manager when required to ect in the interest of plot progression.

-

Point 3 (Player Modelling) regards the extent to which the system attempts to learn and react to the individual differences of each Player. Player models are considered abstractions blanketing the pattern of behaviour displayed by the player. This subsequently allows the system to tailor and manage the player's experience.

Different players will have differing preferences of how their narrative progresses. The experience manager may take this into account and predict a Player's narrative future, forming an abstract 'model' of the player's individual tendencies and preferences through a learning process. In this case particularly focused on preserving the author's intent. This process may be applied in order for NPCs to adapt behaviour or as justification for the experience manager to intervene for the player's benefit.

Part 4 - Discussion

The paper then posits 5 major open-ended questions:

How and when should [the experience manager] intervene in the virtual world on behalf of the user?

How will [the experience manager] generate narrative structures?

How would [the experience manager] encode human authorial intent and at what level of abstraction?

How would [the experience manager] incorporate believable characters into an interactive narrative framework?

How would [the experience manager] tailor narrative experiences?

wow i was looking for a specific pdf and wondering why i was having so much trouble finding it, and, look at this shit

on google the first one looks like it could at least be the correct paper but it isn’t, the second one is unrelated, the third one is the correct pdf on semanticscholar, the direct bmj link is nowhere to be found, the rest of the results are random unrelated bullshit

and then on duckduckgo the first one is the correct link, and some of the rest are even vaguely related

Activity 2

1. Walk Cycles: Walk cycles are a form of cycle animation that showcase a repetitive walking action through a series of frames drawn in sequence (Codrina, “Cycle Animation”). The animation progresses through four main poses: contact, recoil, passing, and high point (“Walk_Cycle”). Walk cycles were originally hand drawn and used in film animation to move characters from point A to point B (“Advanced Digital Animation”). This is explained further in Disney’s book, The Illusion of Life, which depicts how Disney utilized cycle animations to display continuous movement, and capture and convey emotion in the characters.

Wigglegram: Wigglegrams are animated images that appear to be 3D through looping two or three frames of an object (“Wigglegrams”). The image appears to wiggle back and forth between two images, hence the name, wigglegram. They are also known as stereographs and can be compared to cinemagraphs in the sense that they both consist of a few looped continuous frames. Wigglegrams originated in 2002 when Jim Gasperini, a Califorinian interaction designer, uploaded a series of GIFs of “wiggling scenes” between right and left images from stereographs he had previously taken (“Wigglegrams”). Wigglegrams are effective in creating the perception of depth, yet they often drown out important details in the images due to the constant motion (“Wiggle Stereoscopy”).

4. Frame-capture GIFs display and repeat a scene from movies, television shows, newscasts, etc (Giampaolo, “GIFABILITY”). They capture pop cultural moments and play them in an endless loop. They are important because they retain a sense of their origin, i.e. the movie the particular GIF scene was pulled from, while also becoming their own “badge of pop culture” (Giampaolo, “GIFABILITY”). Artist GIFs on the other hand, can also be sourced from movies, however, they are higher in resolution and focus on high level detail; capturing aesthetic moments rather than pop cultural moments.  The “poor” images found in frame-grab GIFs have more credibility as they can be easily produced and seen by greater groups of people compared to higher resolution images (Hito, "In defense of the poor image"). Poor images invite and encourage manipulation, editing, resharing, etc., without the need of crediting authorship.

You can now search for any paper or author and start wandering through their references and citations (and through theirs and so on...). Once you expanded a few nodes you can re-arrange the network and see some interesting connections between nodes.http://bit.ly/2C37lbe project is based on data from arXiv and SemanticScholar. It's open source of course, and I hope that people would add some interesting algorithms to it, such as clustering, coloring, etc.Code: http://bit.ly/2R8YWgF love to hear your opinion :)​.
