Applying Multi-Criteria Optimisation to Develop Cognitive Models
Lane, P.C.R.; Gobet, F. (Birkbeck, 2005)A scientific theory is developed by modelling empirical data in a range of domains. The goal of developing a theory is to optimise the t of the theory to as many experimental settings as possible, whilst retaining some ... -
Approximation of empowerment in the continuous domain
Salge, Christoph; Glackin, Cornelius; Polani, D. (2012)The empowerment formalism offers a goal-independent utility function fully derived from an agent's embodiment. It produces intrinsic motivations which can be used to generate self-organizing behaviours in agents. One ... -
The Architecture and Performance of a Stochastic Competitive Evolutionary Neural Tree Network
Davey, N.; Adams, R.G.; George, S. (2000)A new dynamic tree structured network - the Stochastic Competitive Evolutionary Neural Tree (SCENT) is introduced. The network is able to provide a hierarchical classification of unlabelled data sets. The main advantage ... -
Are Discrete Emotions Useful in Human-Robot Interaction? : Feedback from Motion Capture Analysis
Lewis, Matthew; Cañamero, Lola (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013)We have conducted a study analyzing motion capture data of bodily expressions of human emotions towards the goal of building a social expressive robot that interacts with and supports hospitalized children. Although modeling ... -
Are our students digitally ready for HE study? : Exploring student attitudes to blended online study in a campus-based university
Jefferies, Amanda (2015-09-01)The outcomes of a survey of Australian Engineering undergraduates on a campus-based blended course offer a snapshot of trends in student ownership of technologies and a view of student attitudes and preferred choices of ... -
Arousal regulation and affective adaptation to human responsiveness by a robot that explores and learns a novel environment
Hiolle, Antoine; Lewis, Matthew; Cañamero, Lola (2014-05-14)In the context of our work in developmental robotics regarding robot-human caregiver interactions, in this paper we investigate how a "baby" robot that explores and learns novel environments can adapt its affective regulatory ... -
The art of balance: Problem-solving vs pattern-recognition
Lloyd-Kelly, Martyn; Gobet, Fernand; Lane, Peter (Springer Nature, 2015) -
Artificial and Computational Intelligence in Games: Revolutions in Computational Game AI (Dagstuhl Seminar 19511)
Salge, Christoph (2020-04-14)The 2016 success of Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo, which defeated the Go world champion, and its follow-up program AlphaZero, has sparked a renewed interest of the general public in computational game playing. Moreover, game ... -
Artificial evolution: modelling the development of the retina
Rust, A.G.; Adams, R.G.; George, S.; Bolouri, H. (University of Hertfordshire, 1996)The evolution of neural systems relies on the repeated modification of developmental programmes contained within genes. This paper proposes that to efficiently investigate artificial evolution, developmental processes must ... -
Artists as HRI pioneers : A creative approach to developing novel interactions for living with robots
Lehmann, H.; Walters, M.L.; Dumitriu, A.; May, A.; Koay, K.L.; Sàez-Pons, J.; Syrdal, D.S.; Wood, L.J.; Saunders, Joe; Burke, N.; Duque-Garcia, I.; Christianson, B.; Dautenhahn, K. (Springer Nature, 2013-12)In this article we present a long-term, continuous human-robot cohabitation experiment, which involved two professional artists, whose artistic work explores the boundary between science and society. The artists lived in ... -
Assessing Identity Theft in the Internet of Things
Vidalis, Stilianos; Angelopoulou, Olga (2014-03-01)In the Internet of Things everything is interconnected. In the same context that “man-made fire” got the party started for human civilisation, “man-made TCP” enabled computing devices to participate in our lives. Today we ... -
Assistive technology design and development for acceptable robotics companions for ageing years
Amirabdollahian, Farshid; Op Den Akker, R.; Bedaf, S.; Bormann, R.; Draper, H.; Evers, V.; Gallego Perez, J.; Gelderblom, Gert Jan; Ruiz, C.G.; Hewson, D.; Hu, N.; Koay, Kheng; Lehmann, Hagen; Marti, P.; Michel, H.; Prevot-Huille, H.; Reiser, U.; Saunders, Joe; Sorell, T.; Stienstra, Jelle; Syrdal, D.S.; Walters, Michael; Dautenhahn, K. (2013-12)A new stream of research and development responds to changes in life expectancy across the world. It includes technologies which enhance well-being of individuals, specifically for older people. The ACCOMPANY project focuses ... -
Associative Memories with Small World Connectivity
Davey, N.; Calcraft, L.; Christianson, B.; Adams, R.G. (Springer Nature, 2005)In this paper we report experiments designed to find the relationship between the different parameters of sparsely connected networks of perceptrons with small world connectivity patterns, acting as associative memories. -
Asymmetrical Performance and Abnormal Synergies of the Post-Stroke Patient Wearing SCRIPT Passive Orthosis in Calibration, Exercise and Energy Evaluation
Qin, Y; Rahman, N; Amirabdollahian, F (2014-06-17)In the context of therapeutic human-robot interaction, it is important to detect human contribution in interaction with robots, thus to auto-tune a robot to compensate or resist based on such input. A passive orthosis is ... -
Asynchronous vs. Synchronous Interfacing to Time-Triggered Communication Systems
Puschner, Peter; Kirner, Raimund (2020-02-01)Time-triggered communication facilitates the construction of multi-component real-time systems whose components are in control of their temporal behaviour. However, the interface of a time-triggered communication system ... -
ATMP-CA: Optimising Mixed-Criticality Systems Considering Criticality Arithmetic
Fadlelseed, Sajid; Kirner, Raimund; Menon, Catherine (2021-06-06)Many safety-critical systems use criticality arithmetic, an informal practice of implementing a higher-criticality function by combining several lower-criticality redundant components or tasks. This lowers the cost of ... -
ATMP: An Adaptive Tolerance-based Mixed-criticality Protocol for Multi-core Systems
Kirner, Raimund; Menon, Catherine; Iacovelli, Saverio (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-06-08)The challenge of mixed-criticality scheduling is to keep tasks of higher criticality running in case of resource shortages caused by faults. Traditionally, mixedcriticality scheduling has focused on methods to handle faults ... -
Attribution of Autonomy and its Role in Robotic Language Acquisition
Foerster, Frank; Althoefer, Kaspar (2021-01-16)The false attribution of autonomy and related concepts to artificial agents that lack the attributed levels of the respective characteristic is problematic in many ways. In this article we contrast this view with a positive ... -
Autapses enable temporal pattern recognition in spiking neural networks
Yaqoob, Muhammad; Steuber, Volker; Wróbel, Borys (BioRxiv, 2023-11-17)Most sensory stimuli are temporal in structure. How action potentials encode the information incoming from sensory stimuli remains one of the central research questions in neuroscience. Although there is evidence that the ... -
