This book was released on 2024-07-31 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction of a natural interactive human-computer interaction has become an integral component of intelligent system development, constituting a core subject within the field of human-computer interaction. Grounded in the utilization of human perception theories, this study proposes a robust method for speech emotion recognition and a model for inferring user emotional state changes, thereby achieving a hu-man-computer interaction experience characterized by both listening and articulating, and conveying sentiments effectively. Simultaneously, focusing on the audio-visual modalities within human-computer interaction, this research explores methods for con-structing interactive feedback in auditory and visual modalities within real hu-man-computer dialog scenarios. This aims to synchronize textual, verbal, and visual expressions in human-computer interaction, enhancing its naturalness, improving user experience, and augmenting satisfaction and pleasure during interaction. The research contributions are as follows: Introducing a method that robustly identifies user emotional states in real hu-man-computer speech dialogue scenarios through the utilization of local and global attention mechanisms. This method generates robust and distinguishable representa-tions of speech emotion, thereby enhancing the robustness and accuracy of speech emotion recognition systems in authentic dialogue scenarios.
Download or read book Perspectives on Human Computer Interaction Research with Older People written by Sergio Sayago and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-20 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book promotes a critical reflection about the research conducted so far in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) with older people, whose predominant perspective focuses on decline, health, and help. It introduces a new (or different) perspective, which is grounded in interdisciplinary research on older people and digital technologies. Key elements are to (i) address topics that include, but also go beyond decline, health, and help, such as leisure, fun, creativity and culture, to delve more deeply into the role of digital technologies in multiple facets of older people’s lives; (ii) focus on doing research and designing technologies with and for older adults, and their communities, to avoid and fight against negative social conceptions of ageing; and (iii) examine older people’s life course, strengths, interests, and values, as well as their limitations and needs, to design technologies that not only help but also empower them, extending their abilities and acquiring new knowledge, beyond technology use. This perspective aims to help us better understand, design, and evaluate older people’s interactions with digital technologies in the early 21st century.
Download or read book Advances in Multimodal Interfaces ICMI 2000 written by Tieniu Tan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-06-29 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multimodal Interfaces represents an emerging interdisciplinary research direction and has become one of the frontiers in Computer Science. Multimodal interfaces aim at efficient, convenient and natural interaction and communication between computers (in their broadest sense) and human users. They will ultimately enable users to interact with computers using their everyday skills. These proceedings include the papers accepted for presentation at the Third International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces (ICMI 2000) held in Beijing, China on 1416 O ctober 2000. The papers were selected from 172 contributions submitted worldwide. Each paper was allocated for review to three members of the Program Committee, which consisted of more than 40 leading researchers in the field. Final decisions of 38 oral papers and 48 poster papers were made based on the reviewers’ comments and the desire for a balance of topics. The decision to have a single track conference led to a competitive selection process and it is very likely that some good submissions are not included in this volume. The papers collected here cover a wide range of topics such as affective and perceptual computing, interfaces for wearable and mobile computing, gestures and sign languages, face and facial expression analysis, multilingual interfaces, virtual and augmented reality, speech and handwriting, multimodal integration and application systems. They represent some of the latest progress in multimodal interfaces research.

Download or read book Embodied Communication in Humans and Machines written by Ipke Wachsmuth and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-09-04 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When people communicate face to face they don't just exchange verbal information. Rather, communication encompasses the whole body. Communication partners synchronize their body sway, and mimic or imitate each other's body postures and actions. They produce a multitude of manual and facial gestures that help to illustrate what is being said, show how communication partners feel, or or reveal verbal deception. Moreover, face-to-face communication takes place in shared contexts where partners jointly attend and refer to the same objects, often while working on joint tasks such as carrying a table or repairing a car together. Traditionally, communication research has neglected these parts of communication using the engineering model of signal transmission as the main theoretical metaphor. This book takes a new look at recent empirical findings in the cognitive and neurosciences, showing that the traditional approach is insufficient, and presenting a new interdisciplinary perspective, the Embodied Communication perspective. The core claim of the Embodied Communication perspective is that human communication involves parallel and highly interactive couplings between communication partners. These couplings range from low-level systems for performing and understanding instrumental actions, like the mirror system, to higher-systems that interpret symbols in a cultural context. The book can also serve as a guide for engineers who construct artificial agents and robots that should be able to interact with humans.

Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Embodied Music Interaction written by Micheline Lesaffre and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Embodied Music Interaction captures a new paradigm in the study of music interaction, as a wave of recent research focuses on the role of the human body in musical experiences. This volume brings together a broad collection of work that explores all aspects of this new approach to understanding how we interact with music, addressing the issues that have roused the curiosities of scientists for ages: to understand the complex and multi-faceted way in which music manifests itself not just as sound but also as a variety of cultural styles, not just as experience but also as awareness of that experience. With contributions from an interdisciplinary and international array of scholars, including both empirical and theoretical perspectives, the Companion explores an equally impressive array of topics, including: Dynamical music interaction theories and concepts Expressive gestural interaction Social music interaction Sociological and anthropological approaches Empowering health and well-being Modeling music interaction Music-based interaction technologies and applications This book is a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand human interaction with music from an embodied perspective.
Download or read book Coverbal Synchrony in Human Machine Interaction written by Matej Rojc and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-10-25 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embodied conversational agents (ECA) and speech-based human–machine interfaces can together represent more advanced and more natural human–machine interaction. Fusion of both topics is a challenging agenda in research and production spheres. The important goal of human–machine interfaces is to provide content or functionality in the form of a dialog resembling face-to-face conversations. All natural interfaces strive to exploit and use different communication strategies that provide additional meaning to the content, whether they are human–machine interfaces for controlling an application or different ECA-based human–machine interfaces directly simulating face-to-face conversation. Coverbal Synchrony in Human-Machine Interaction presents state-of-the-art concepts of advanced environment-independent multimodal human–machine interfaces that can be used in different contexts, ranging from simple multimodal web-browsers (for example, multimodal content reader) to more complex multimodal human–machine interfaces for ambient intelligent environments (such as supportive environments for elderly and agent-guided household environments). They can also be used in different computing environments—from pervasive computing to desktop environments. Within these concepts, the contributors discuss several communication strategies, used to provide different aspects of human–machine interaction.
