Traditional mechanisms for delivering notice and enabling choice have so far failed to protect users’ privacy. Users are continuously frustrated by complex privacy policies, unreachable privacy settings, and a multitude of emerging standards. The miniaturi ...
Personality is a psychological construct aimed at explaining the wide variety of human behaviors in terms of a few, stable and measurable individual characteristics. In this respect, any technology involving understanding, prediction and synthesis of human ...
The collective dynamic behavior of large groups of interacting autonomous agents (swarms) have inspired much research in both fundamental and engineering sciences. It is now widely acknowledged that the intrinsic nonlinearities due to mutual interactions c ...
In many large-scale distributed systems and on the Web, agents need to interact with other unknown agents to carry out some tasks or transactions. The ability to reason about and assess the potential risks in carrying out such transactions is essential for ...
Structural relations established among agents influence the performance of decentralized service discovery process in multiagent systems. Moreover, distributed systems should be able to adapt their structural relations to changes in environmental condition ...
The ability to recognize the visual focus of attention (VFOA, i.e. what or whom a person is looking at) of people is important for robots or conversational agents interacting with multiple people, since it plays a key role in turn-taking, engagement or int ...
Recently, the notion that the brain is fundamentally a prediction machine has gained traction within the cognitive science community. Consequently, the ability to learn accurate predictors from experience is crucial to creating intelligent robots. However, ...
Looking at one's own body might induce visual analgesia. However, the cognitive and physiological mechanisms underlying such visual analgesia are unknown. Because body and pain representations in the brain are multisensory, and have been reported to partia ...
We consider the dynamics of swarms of scalar Brownian agents subject to local imitation mechanisms implemented using mutual rank-based interactions. For appropriate values of the underlying control parameters, the swarm propagates tightly and the distances ...
