The world has gone through 3.8 billion years of research and development, with failures and successes, in search of the most effective and affordable solutions to facilitate our daily life. This is especially true today, since we realized that energy resources and raw materials are starting to run-out and that they will not be enough for the population in the near future, The planet could literally implode, ceasing to be an \"earthly paradise\". Human people have therefore always observed Nature, using it as a source of knowledge and inspiration, but with different approaches. Starting from these premises, the present article explores how innovation can be inspired by Nature. Nature, that in this context is deemed to be the model, the measure and the “mentor” from which designers can learn through a fully informed, responsible study of its biological and biomechanical processes, with the ultimate objective of improving human activities and technology to allow full resonance with Nature itself. Today, technology allows us to reproduce natural systems and biofabricate living systems. Everything appears possible today, but we should probably ask ourselves if this is really necessary, as we did when the possibility of replicating and genetically modifying the living being opened up? How can we avoid running into \"technological blasphemy\"? What role can design play in this?","PeriodicalId":292077,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Human Systems Integration (IHSI 2022) Integrating People and Intelligent Systems","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133765075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This, in turn, has resulted in best practices that enable more rapid development of accessible UIs. In our previous work, we introduced the concept of Interface Digital Twins (IDTs), that is, augmented digital replicas of the user interfaces of physical devices.

The Bézier mathematics makes it possible to generate a lot of different curves with simple parameterization. Under dynamic aspects of the CNC process, the Bézier curve developed for static application profiles leads to Shape-dependent fluctuations of the cutting speed in orders of magnitude from 1:3 to 1:10 - and above. In Analysis, the problem of leveling different support point distances - which is causal here -, is studied under the term Parameterization by Arc length. For Bézier curves, however, a generally valid solution has not yet been published due to mathematical preconditions. Based on this background, a generally valid approximation algorithm for the Reparameterization of Bézier curves according to Arc length and their Dynamic use on CNC machines, was developed.","PeriodicalId":292077,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Human Systems Integration (IHSI 2022) Integrating People and Intelligent Systems","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132536890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current speech recognition intelligence focuses on recognising learners’ oral proficiency from fluency, prosody, pronunciation, and grammar’s perspectives. However, the capacity of clearly and naturally expressing an idea is a high-level cognitive behaviour which can hardly be represented by these detailed and segmental dimensions, which indeed do not fulfil English learners and teachers’ requirements. This work aims to utilise the state-of-the-art deep learning techniques to recognise English speaking proficiency at a cognitive level, i. e., a learner’s ability to clearly organise their own thoughts when expressing an idea in English as a foreign language. For this, we collected the “Oral English for Japanese Learners” Dataset (OEJL-DB), a corpus of recordings by 82 students of a Japanese high school expressing their ideas in English towards 5 different topics. Annotations concerning the clarity of learners’ thoughts are given by 5 English teachers according to 2 classes: clear and unclear. In total, the dataset includes 7.6 hours of audio data with an average length for each oral English presentation of66 seconds. As initial cognitive-based method to identify learners’ speaking proficiency, we propose an architecture based on the parallelization of CNNs and Transformers. With the strengthening of the CNNs in spatial feature representation and the Transformer in sequence encoding, we achieve a 89.4% accuracy and 87.6%. Unweighted Average Recall (UAR), results which outperform those from the ResNet architectures (89.2 % accuracy and 86.3 % UAR). Our promising outcomes reveal that speech intelligence can be efficiently applied to “grasp” high level cognitive behaviours, a new area of research which seems to have a great potential for further investigation.","PeriodicalId":292077,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Human Systems Integration (IHSI 2022) Integrating People and Intelligent Systems","volume":"315 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115957664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
