  2. 16. The Quest for Edge Awareness, Lessons not yet learned : PhD Thesis on practical and situated usefulness of advanced technological systems among inescapable uncertainties and competing interests in a world of dynamic changes

    Author : Patrik Stensson; Anders Jansson; Pär Ågerfalk; Martin Norsell; Erik Hollnagel; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; critical realism; human factors; situation awareness; resilience engineering; human-machine interaction; automation; autonomy; situated usefulness; systems thinking; sociotechnical systems; edge awareness; Människa-dator interaktion; Human-Computer Interaction;

    Abstract : This thesis problematizes the concept of usefulness, in part by taking questions to the extreme. The starting point is the contemporary view of usefulness, a view that remains within a traditional paradigm of technical rationality in which important aspects are disregarded or not perceived because they are not part of the equation.

  4. 17. Recognition and Generation of Communicative Signals : Modeling of Hand Gestures, Speech Activity and Eye-Gaze in Human-Machine Interaction

    Author : Kalin Stefanov; Jonas Beskow; Gerasimos Potamianos; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Nonverbal communication is essential for natural and effective face-to-face human-human interaction. It is the process of communicating through sending and receiving wordless (mostly visual, but also auditory) signals between people. Consequently, a natural and effective face-to-face human-machine interaction requires machines (e.g. READ MORE

  5. 18. Bringing the avatar to life : Studies and developments in facial communication for virtual agents and robots

    Author : Samer Al Moubayed; Jonas Beskow; Stefan Kopp; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Avatar; Speech Communication; Facial animation; Nonverbal; Social; Robot; Human-like; Face-to-face; Prosody; Pitch; Prominence; Furhat; Gaze; Head-pose; Dialogue; Interaction; Multimodal; Multiparty; SRA - ICT; SRA - Informations- och kommunikationsteknik;

    Abstract : The work presented in this thesis comes in pursuit of the ultimate goal of building spoken and embodied human-like interfaces that are able to interact with humans under human terms. Such interfaces need to employ the subtle, rich and multidimensional signals of communicative and social value that complement the stream of words – signals humans typically use when interacting with each other.

  6. 19. Designing with Machine Learning in Digital Pathology : Augmenting Medical Specialists through Interaction Design

    Author : Martin Lindvall; Jonas Löwgren; Claes Lundström; Darren Treanor; Andreas Holzinger; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Recent advancements in machine learning (ML) have led to a dramatic increase in AI capabilities for medical diagnostic tasks. Despite technical advances, developers of predictive AI models struggle to integrate their work into routine clinical workflows. READ MORE

  7. 20. A Representation Scheme for Description and Reconstruction of Object Configurations Based on Qualitative Relations

    Author : Heike Joe Steinhauer; Erik Sandewall; Alexander Klippel; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Qualitative Reasoning; Spatial Reasoning; Cognitive Modeling; Human-Machine Interaction; Coarse Reasoning; Artificial Intelligence; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : One reason Qualitative Spatial Reasoning (QSR) is becoming increasingly important to Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the need for a smooth ‘human-like’ communication between autonomous agents and people. The selected, yet general, task motivating the work presented here is the scenario of an object configuration that has to be described by an observer on the ground using only relational object positions.
