  2. 1. Expression in Live Coding: Gestural Interaction for Machine Musicianship

    Author : Georgios Diapoulis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; music perception; live programming; liveness; music interaction; live coding; music information retrieval; gestural control; musical interfaces; expressive interaction; music performance;

    Abstract : This thesis is centered on the performance practice of musical live coding, which can be described as on-the-fly decision-making for computer music performance and blurs the lines between programming languages and computer interfaces. I specifically focus on live coding as a human activity based on serial skilled actions, and I discuss how we can interact gesturally with interfaces that are modified dynamically. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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.

  5. 3. Interaction and Language Assessment in Aphasia and Dementia : A Comparative Perspective

    Author : Karin Myrberg; Christina Samuelsson; Lars-Christer Hydén; Heidi Hamilton; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Aphasia; Dementia; Assessment; Testing; Interaction; Language; Cognition;

    Abstract : Language problems in dementia resemble the symptoms of aphasia in many respects. A growing body of research discusses the cognitive deficits associated with aphasia. Despite common denominators, very little is written with a comparative perspective on the two clinical groups. READ MORE

  6. 4. Embodying Politeness in Persuasive Humanoid Agents for Small Group Scenarios

    Author : Sahba Zojaji; Christopher Peters; Tony Belpaeme; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; politeness; persuasiveness; small free-standing conversational groups; embodiment; embodied conversational agents; humanoid robots; virtual reality; immersiveness; human-agent interaction; social norms; multimodal expressive communication; artighet; övertalningsförmåga; små fristående samtalsgrupper; förkroppsligande; förkroppsligade samtalsagenter; humanoida robotar; virtuell verklighet; uppslukande; interaktion mellan människa och agent; sociala normer; multimodal uttrycksfull kommunikation;

    Abstract : In both physical and virtual environments, small group interactions significantly shape our social experiences. Understanding and replicating situated group interactions with virtual agents or physical robots pose possibilities and challenges. READ MORE

  7. 5. Interactive sonification of motion : Design, implementation and control of expressive auditory feedback with mobile devices

    Author : Gaël Dubus; Roberto Bresin; Paul Vickers; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Speech and Music Communication; Tal- och musikkommunikation;

    Abstract : Sound and motion are intrinsically related, by their physical nature and through the link between auditory perception and motor control. If sound provides information about the characteristics of a movement, a movement can also be influenced or triggered by a sound pattern. READ MORE
