Users' critiques to the current recommendation form a crucial feedback mechanism for refining their preference models and improving a system's accuracy in recommendations that may better interest the user. In this paper, we present a novel approach to assi ...
Decentralized and unstructured networks are becoming more prevalent today (e.g. ad hoc networks). Like every network, they depend on the cooperation of their users to survive. However, each user does not necessarily know who the others are, or what their i ...
As computer systems continue to grow in power and access more networked content and services, we believe there will be an increasing need to provide more user-centric systems that act as intelligent assistants, able to interact naturally with human users a ...
Mobile service robots are going to play an increasing role in the society of humans. Voice-enabled interaction with service robots becomes very important, if such robots are to be deployed in real-world environments and accepted by the vast majority of pot ...
Preference-based search is the problem of finding an item that matches best with a user's preferences. User studies show that example-based tools for preference-based search can achieve significantly higher accuracy when they are complemented with suggesti ...
We present a system for real-time configuration of multimodal interfaces to Virtual Environments (VE). The flexibility of our tool is supported by a semantics-based representation of VEs. Semantic descriptors are used to define interaction devices and virt ...
We review the structural, electronic and dielectric properties of atomistic models of the Si(100)-SiO2 interface, which have been purposely designed in order to match a large variety of atomic-scale experimental data. After describing the generation proced ...
Head pose estimation is a research area which has many applications, e.g. in human computer interfaces design or in the analysis of people's focus-of-attention. The paper addresses the issue of head pose estimation, and makes two contributions. First it in ...
