Recent research in inductive reasoning has focused on predicting missing links between entities that are not observed during training. However, most approaches usually require that the relations are known at the inference time. In the real world, new ...

This study investigates the use of sequence analysis as a tool to visualize and analyze students’ patterns of test-taking within interactive E-Book environments. With the growing incorporation of multimedia and interactive elements in educational ...

This article aims to develop a semi-formal representation for Human-AI (HAI) interactions, by building a set of interaction primitives which can specify the information exchanges between users and AI systems during their interaction. We show how these ...

This paper presents a study of interaction patterns with various E-Books in the DLE (distance learning environment) Opiq. E-Books are currently an integral part of the educational process in many schools around the world. In Estonia, Opiq is the ...

A team develops competency by progressive mutual adaptation and learning, a process we call co-learning. In human teams, partners naturally adapt to each other and learn while collaborating. This is not self-evident in human-robot teams. There is a need ...

Public discussions on social media platforms are an intrinsic part of online information consumption. Characterizing the diverse range of discussions which can arise is crucial for these platforms, as they may seek to organize and curate them. This paper ...

Interaction pattern languages represent a solution to user-centered interface design problems. Throughout the years, different authors have dedicated their efforts to developing collections of patterns aimed at addressing usability issues. However, their ...

Exploring large geolocated social media datasets is now an important task in many pursuits e.g. crisis response. Yet there is still a lack of effective methods to view and interact with large amounts spatially-disturbed user-generated content. In this ...

In an increasingly competitive market, there is a growing demand for Web applications with good usability, which has challenged developers, interaction designers and web designers to constantly adopt efficient strategies to control and improve the ...

The key success factor for modern web applications is their acceptance by the end-users which heavily depends on the quality of the user experience that they offer to them. Users require applications designed in such a way that it enables them to learn ...

We conducted a short study investigating the pressure patterns produced by cancer detection dogs via a canine-centered interface while searching samples of amyl acetate. We advance previous work by providing further insights into the potential of the ...

Networked applications continuously move towards service-based and modular solutions. At the same time, web technologies, proven to be modular and distributed, are applied to these application areas. However, web technologies have to be adapted to the ...

Will people keep the secret of a socially compelling robot who shares, in confidence, a "personal" (robot) failing? Toward answering this question, 81 adults participated in a 20-minute interaction with (a) a humanoid robot (Robovie) interacting in a ...

The development of robots that can physically cooperate with humans has attained interest in the last decades. Obviously, this effort requires a deep understanding of the intrinsic properties of interaction. Up to now, many researchers have focused on ...

Enterprises today find themselves increasingly part of networks of collaborations with their peers in order to fulfil customer requirements. Such collaborations, also known as virtual enterprises (VE), are governed by pre-defined contracts that restrict ...

Efficient design of a complex heterogeneous system requires detailed knowledge about the periodicity properties of its components and understanding the interaction patterns in their data exchange. Some of this information is usually available at the ...

We offer three illustrative examples from one of our recent studies in HRI to suggest that it's possible for people to engage in mutual deliberation with a social robot. Each example illustrates discourse and argument, but ends through different means: ...

This paper shows how humor can be used as an interaction pattern to help establish sociality in human-robot interaction. Drawing illustratively from our published research on people interacting with ATR's humanoid robot Robovie, we highlight four forms ...

This conceptual paper provides design guidelines to enhance the sociality of human-robot interaction. The paper draws on the Interaction Pattern Approach in HRI, which seeks to specify the underlying structures and functions of human interaction. We ...

Researchers and developers still replicate ideas with low reuse when developing Web 2.0 applications. A domain engineering identify and document commonalities and variabilities of an application family fostering reuse. In this work, we used a domain ...
