The steps in constructing the model that was built into the first version of the interruption mediator will be presented to show, in detail, how one might use the proposed framework for mediating interruptions.","PeriodicalId":391548,"journal":{"name":"sOc-EUSAI '05","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122184989","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}

{"title":"Levels of interaction allowing humans to command, interrogate and teach a communicating object: lessons learned from two robotic platform","authors":"Peter Ford Dominey, A. Weitzenfeld","doi":"10.1145/1107548.1107586","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/1107548.1107586","url":null,"abstract":"As robotic systems become increasingly capable of complex sensory, motor and information processing functions, the ability to interact with them in an ergonomic, real-time and adaptive manner becomes an increasingly pressing concern. In this context, the physical characteristics of the robotic device should become less of a direct concern, with the device being treated as a system that receives information, acts on that information, and produces information. Once the input and output protocols for a given system are well established, humans should be able to interact with these systems via a standardized spoken language interface that can be tailored if necessary to the specific system.The objective of this research is to develop a generalized approach for human-machine interaction via spoken language that allows interaction at three levels. The first level is that of commanding or directing the behavior of the system. The second level is that of interrogating or requesting an explanation from the system. The third and most advanced level is that of teaching the machine a new form of behavior. The mapping between sentences and meanings in these interactions is guided by a neuropsychologically inspired model of grammatical construction processing. We explore these three levels of communication on two distinct robotic platforms. The novelty of this work lies in the use of the construction grammar formalism for binding language to meaning extracted from video in a generative and productive manner, and in thus allowing the human to use language to command, interrogate and modify the behavior of the robotic systems.","PeriodicalId":391548,"journal":{"name":"sOc-EUSAI '05","volume":"619 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122694900","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}

Herrasti, Antonio López","doi":"10.1145/1107548.1107609","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/1107548.1107609","url":null,"abstract":"As one of the main aims of \"Ambient Intelligence\" is natural human interaction with the environment and one the most suitable is the home environment. Fagor has been working several years to develop a power-line network where all its household appliances, security sensors and actuators, heating systems and antiintrusion systems are connected and managed by a central controller named Maior-Domo. As a result of GENIO project, the user can dialog with his home and asks the services and functionalities he wants by talking as he was talking to a friend. The controller Maior-Domo has a human representation that the user can see and can interact with. When the user talks the Maior-Domo extracts the different commands from those vocal orders and controls the home devices. These orders are not specific commands that the user has to learn but natural speaking language without any need of learning. In the same way, any event or information from any device of the network is transmitted to the user by voice. In order to achieve a demonstrator of this Ambient Intelligence application, a real kitchen and sitting room have been built where the users can command the home talking naturally (in Spanish). Possible actions are: reading e-mails, programming the washing machine, checking the goods in the fridge, creating the shopping list, doing shopping with a PDA in the supermarket, activating the dishwasher, being guided on how to prepare a recipe for the oven checking if there are the needed goods to do it, listening some music stored at home, watching some photos, watching some selected video and so on. Every user has a wireless microphone in his/her shirt's pocket. This microphone captures his/her voice and all the sounds around him/her and sends them to a developed board which filters the voice frequency range from other sounds. From here the voice recognition system \"understands\" the pronounced sentence and process it. A quite extended number of sentences, called grammar, make up the possible dialogue between the person and the whole system. The user can address the whole system in different ways using a lot of expressions, talking naturally and spontaneously and dialoguing to the home. The defined grammar is so extended that almost the total speaker independence has been achieved.","PeriodicalId":391548,"journal":{"name":"sOc-EUSAI '05","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127253375","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}

Shikano","doi":"10.1145/1107548.1107577","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/1107548.1107577","url":null,"abstract":"In this paper, we present the Non-Audible Murmur (NAM) microphones focusing on their applications in automatic speech recognition. A NAM microphone is a special acoustic sensor attached behind the talker's ear and able to capture very quietly uttered speech (non-audible murmur) through body tissue. Previously, we reported experimental results for non-audible murmur recognition using a Stethoscope microphone in a clean environment. In this paper, we also present a more advanced NAM microphone, the so-called Silicon NAM microphone. Using a small amount of training data and adaptation approaches, we achieved a 93.9% word accuracy for a 20k vocabulary dictation task. Therefore, in situations when privacy in human-machine communication is preferable, NAM microphone can be very effectively applied for automatic recognition of speech inaudible to other listeners near the talker. Because of the nature of non-audible murmur (e.g., privacy) investigation of the behavior of NAM microphones in noisy environments is of high importance. To do this, we also conducted experiments in real and simulated noisy environments. Although, using simulated noisy data the NAM microphones show high robustness against noise, in real environments the recognition performance decreases markedly due to the effect of the Lombard reflex. In this paper, we also report experimental results showing the negative impact effect of the Lombard reflex on non-audible murmur recognition. In addition to a dictation task, we also report a keyword-spotting system based on non-audible murmur with very promising results.","PeriodicalId":391548,"journal":{"name":"sOc-EUSAI '05","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123215844","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}

So context definition, representation, management and use become important factors that affect their operation. To ease the development of such applications it is necessary to decouple application composition from context acquisition and representation, and at the same time provide universal models and mechanisms to manage context. In this paper is presented an approach for building a context-aware UbiComp system organised in hierarchical levels. The focus of the paper is on an ontology-based context modelling, management and reasoning process developed for composing context-aware UbiComp applications from AmI artefacts.","PeriodicalId":391548,"journal":{"name":"sOc-EUSAI '05","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134450425","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}
