The data that are collected through this question can serve a variety of purposes, election forecast being one of them. However, it appears that the majority of VAA users who answer this question select safe choices such as “I prefer not to say” and “I am undecided”. In this study we investigate at what degree we can predict, with the aid of machine learning techniques, the voting intention of the above-mentioned users using as input their choices in the VAA policy statements. The results show an accuracy higher than 60%, supposed that sufficient training examples for each party that participates in the elections exist so as to model each party users. Also, it appears that there is significant difference on the distribution per party for the users who select “I prefer not to say” and those who select “I am undecided”. As a consequence of these findings one would suggest that for effective election forecast it is required to (a) distribute the VAA users who select the previously mentioned choices in the voting intention question in a more sophisticated and intelligent way than that followed in traditional poll methods, and (b) the VAA users who select each one of those choices should be handled separately.","PeriodicalId":441461,"journal":{"name":"2017 12th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and Personalization (SMAP)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127576101","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}

Moreover, intelligent robots can also adapt their behavior during a learning process according to certain criteria resulting in increasing cognitive learning gains. Motivated by these results, we propose a novel Human Robot Interaction framework where the robot adjusts its behavior to the affect state of the learner. Our framework uses the theory of flow to label different affect states (i.e., engagement, boredom and frustration) and adapt the robot's actions. Based on the automatic recognition of these states, through visual cues, our method adapt the learning actions taking place at this moment and performed by the robot. This results in keeping the learner at most times engaged in the learning process. In order to recognizing the affect state of the user a two step approach is followed. Initially we recognize the facial expressions of the learner and therefore we map these to an affect state. Our algorithm perform well even in situations where the environment is noisy due to the presence of more than one person and/or situations where the face is partially occluded.","PeriodicalId":441461,"journal":{"name":"2017 12th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and Personalization (SMAP)","volume":"39 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132468640","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}

In many applications the only available modality is the latter one, i.e., the human's voice. In this work we aim to analyze a speaker's emotions by relying only on paralinguistic information, extracted by her/his voice, thus discarding the linguistic aspect of speech (i.e., the spoken words). To this goal, we propose a novel emotion classification approach that has been inspired by computer vision tasks. We use a spectrogram, which is a visual representation of the spectrum of an audio segment. We then extract features and code them using a visual vocabulary and represent a spectrogram as a “bag-of-visual words.” This representation is used for classifying an audio segment to an emotion class. We evaluate our approach on 3 datasets that contain speech from different languages and compare it to baseline methods.","PeriodicalId":441461,"journal":{"name":"2017 12th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and Personalization (SMAP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129032658","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}

However, users often use unrestricted vocabulary to tag and describe resources. On the contrast, annotators of Web documents may use very different words to describe the same concept. In the past few years, numerous personalized query expansion methods have been proposed to tackle the vocabulary mismatch problem. Many of them are based on the probabilistic-based techniques or graph-based techniques, but they ignored the multi-relational characteristics existed in the social data. In this paper, we explore multiple semantic relationships from social tagging systems, including relationships between tags, between words and between tags and words. Three affinity graphs are built based on the features derived from tags and words. In addition, we incorporate pseudo-relevance feedback information obtained from top-ranked documents to regularize the smoothness of multiple associations over the three affinity graphs. The key of this paper is considering above three affinity graphs into a novel query expansion model and aim to produce better personalized search results. Experiments conducted on a real-world dataset validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":441461,"journal":{"name":"2017 12th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and Personalization (SMAP)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116039974","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}
