User Interface Aspects of a Human-Hand Simulation System

This paper describes the user interface design for a human-hand simulation system, a virtual environment that produces ground truth data (life-like human hand gestures and animations) and provides visualization support for experiments on co...

(Computer) vision without sight

Computer vision holds great promise for helping persons with blindness or visual impairments (VI) to interpret and explore the visual world. To this end, it is worthwhile to assess the situation critically by understanding the actual needs ...

AI and Chatbot-Supported Interventions for Physical Activity and Obesity-Related Lifestyle Behaviors: Scoping Review With Attention to Family Involvement

Abstract BackgroundAI-enabled chatbots and related conversational systems can facilitate human–computer interaction through natural language, personalization, and automated support. In pediatric health promotion, these tools hav...

Applications of Shaped-Charge Learning

It is well known that deep learning (DNN) has strong limitations due to a lack of explainability and weak defense against possible adversarial attacks. These attacks would be a concern for autonomous teams producing a state of high entropy ...

CAMELON: A System for Crime Metadata Extraction and Spatiotemporal Visualization From Online News Articles

Crimes result in not only loss to individuals but also hinder national economic growth. While crime rates have been reported to decrease in developed countries, underdeveloped and developing nations still suffer from prevalent crimes, espec...

Computational Linguistics and Deep Learning

Deep Learning waves have lapped at the shores of computational linguistics for several years now, but 2015 seems like the year when the full force of the tsunami hit the major Natural Language Processing (NLP) conferences. However, some pun...

TDLearning: Trusted Distributed Collaborative Learning Based on Blockchain Smart Contracts

Massive amounts of data drive the performance of deep learning models, but in practice, data resources are often highly dispersed and bound by data privacy and security concerns, making it difficult for multiple data sources to share their ...
