In this paper we discuss the integration of a communication model in the MOBOT assistive robotic platform and its evaluation by target users. The MOBOT platform envisions the development of cognitive robotic assistant prototypes that act proactively, adaptively and interactively with respect to elderly humans with slight walking and cognitive impairments. The respective multimodal action recognition system has been developed to monitor, analyze and predict user actions with a high level of accuracy and detail. The robotic platform incorporates a human-robot communication model that has been defined with semantics of human actions in interaction, their capture and their representation in terms of behavioral patterns, to achieve an effective, natural interaction, aiming to support elderly users of slight walking and cognitive inability. The platform has been evaluated in a series of validation experiments with end users, the procedure and results of which are also presented in this paper.
In this work, we explore applications of automatic essay scoring (AES) to a corpus of essays written by college freshmen and discuss the challenges we faced. While most AES systems evaluate highly constrained writing,...
We increase the lexical coverage of FrameNet through automatic paraphrasing. We use crowdsourcing to manually filter out bad paraphrases in order to ensure a high-precision resource. Our expanded FrameNet contains an ...

With the rapid increasing of smart phones and their embedded sensing technologies, mobile crowd sensing (MCS) becomes an emerging sensing paradigm for performing large-scale sensing tasks. One of the key challenges of large-scale mobile crowd sensing systems is how to effectively select the minimum set of participants from the huge user pool to perform the tasks and achieve certain level of coverage. In this paper, we introduce a new MCS architecture which leverages the cached sensing data to fulfill partial sensing tasks in order to reduce the size of selected participant set. We present a newly designed participant selection algorithm with caching and evaluate it via extensive simulations with a real-world mobile dataset.

Hand tracking systems are becoming increasingly popular as a fundamental HCI approach. The trajectory of moving hand can be estimated through smoothing the position coordinates collected from continuous localization. Therefore, hand localization is a key component of any hand tracking systems. This paper presents EchoLoc, which locates the human hand by leveraging the speaker array in Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) devices (i.e., a smart phone plugged with a stereo speaker). EchoLoc measures the distance from the hand to the speaker array via the Time Of Flight (TOF) of the chirp. The speaker array and hand yield a unique triangle, therefore, the hand can be localized with triangular geometry. We prototype EchoLoc on iOS as an application, and find it is capable of localization with the average resolution within five centimeters of 73% and three centimeters of 48%.
We present labeled morphological segmentation—an alternative view of morphological processing that unifies several tasks. We introduce a new hierarchy of morphotactic tagsets and CHIPMUNK, a discriminative morphologi...

Linguistic similarity is multi-faceted. For instance, two words may be similar with respect to semantics, syntax, or morphology inter alia. Continuous word-embeddings have been shown to capture most of these shades of...
