    Peltason J, Wrede B. The Curious Robot as a Case-Study for Comparing Dialog Systems. AI Magazine. 2011;32(4):85-99.Modeling interaction with robots raises new and different challenges for dialog modeling than traditional dialog modeling with less embodied machines. We present four case studies of implementing a typical human-robot interaction scenario with different state-of-the-art dialog frameworks in order to identify challenges and pitfalls specific to HRI and potential solutions. The results are discussed with a special focus on the interplay between dialog and task modeling on robots

    Modeling Human-Robot Interaction Based on Generic Interaction Patterns

    Peltason J, Wrede B. Modeling Human-Robot Interaction Based on Generic Interaction Patterns. In: AAAI Fall Symposium: Dialog with Robots. Arlington, VA, USA: AAAI Press; 2010.While human-robot interaction is typically limited to restrictive command-control style, traditional dialog modeling approaches are not directly applicable to robotics due to the lack of real-world integration. We present an approach that combines insights from dialog modeling with software-engineering demands that arise in robotics system research to provide a generalizable framework that can easily be applied to new scenarios. This goal is achieved by defining interaction patterns that combine abstract task states (such as task accepted or failed) with robot dialog acts (such as assertion or apology). An evaluation of the usability for robotic experts and novices showed that both groups were able to program 3 out of 5 dialog fragments in one hour while showing a steep learning curve. We argue that the proposed approach allows for less restricted and more informative human-robot interactions

    Variations on the Author

    No full text
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
