In this work, we evaluate the potential of using wearable non-contact (infrared) thermal sensors through a user study (N=12) to measure mental workload. Our results indicate the possibility of mental workload estimation through the temperature changes ...
A significant body of research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) has focused on generating stories automatically, either based on prior story plots or input images. However, literature has little to say about how users would receive and use these stories. ...
If chocolate and broccoli sound a strange pairing, can you imagine a broccoli chocolate bar that combines them? As a matter of fact, the two ingredients share the highest number of flavour molecules, so their combination might not be as weird as it ...
Children are growing up in a Machine Learning infused world and it's imperative to provide them with opportunities to develop an accurate understanding of basic Machine Learning concepts. Physical gesture recognition is a typical application of Machine ...
Machine learning (ML) is now widely used to empower products and services, but there is a lack of research on the tools that involve designers in the entire ML process. Thus, designers who are new to ML technology may struggle to fully understand the ...
Machine Learning (ML) is a useful tool for modern game designers but often requires a technical background to understand. This gap of knowledge can intimidate less technical game designers from employing ML techniques to evaluate designs or incorporate ...
Current Machine Learning (ML) models can make predictions that are as good as or better than those made by people. The rapid adoption of this technology puts it at the forefront of systems that impact the lives of many, yet the consequences of this ...
In recent years, AI systems have become both more powerful and increasingly promising for integration in a variety of application areas. Attention has also been called to the social challenges these systems bring, particularly in how they might fail or ...
Labeling images is essential towards enabling the search and organization of digital media. This is true for both "factual", objective tags such as time, place and people, as well as for subjective labels, such as the emotion a picture generates. Indeed,...
Additive manufacturing, the academic term of 3D-Printing, is the way of fabricating new objects by adding materials layer-by-layer. Our team extended this technology to the next level enabling users to add materials directly onto ready-made (3D-printed) ...
The video describes Puffy, a friendly inflatable social robot companion for children that has been developed in cooperation with a team of psychologists and educators. Puffy has a combination of features which makes it unique with respect to existing ...
Learning from Demonstration (LfD) is a paradigm where humans demonstrate the procedure to perform complex tasks which can be used to train autonomous agents. However, the performance of LfD is highly sensitive to the quality of demonstrations which in ...
There is sustained and growing interest in human-robot teaming across academia and industry. Many critical questions still remain as to how to foster flexible, effective, teaming that allow humans and robots to work closely together. This panel will ...
Body in Flow is an interactive experience, presented as a Virtual Reality (VR) art piece: the presentation of a world in flow and the viewer as a body in flow. The core purpose of this piece is to explore the concepts of viewer identity and relationship ...
We will explore how deep learning approaches can be used for perceiving and interpreting the state and behavior of human beings in images, video, audio, and text data. The course will cover how convolutional, recurrent and generative neural networks can ...
With HCI, researchers conduct studies in interdisciplinary projects involving massive volume of data, artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities. Awareness of the responsibility is emerging as a key concern for the HCI community.
This ...
Access to health care related information can be vital and should be easily accessible. However, immigrants often have difficulties to obtain the relevant information due to language barriers and cultural differences. In the KRISTINA project, we ...
In this talk, work about vocal artificial agent ongoing in the Vocal Interaction Group at LIA, University of Avignon, is presented. A focus is made on the research line aiming at endowing such interactive agents with human-like social abilities. After ...
Despite being in the era of Big Data, where our devices seem to anticipate and feed our every desire, intelligent virtual agents appear to lack intimate and important knowledge of their user. Current cognitive agent architectures usually include ...
This paper introduces the results of a series of experiments on the impression of agents that perform self-adaptors. Human-human interactions were video-taped and analyzed with respect to usage of different types of self-adaptors (relaxed/stressful), ...
