Empowering students to design an online activity: case study
(2006)The presenter led a postgraduate module where students were on campus for a week, then away for 5 weeks then back for a week. These students were all in full time employment and had very demanding jobs. The aim was to ... -
Empowerment : An Introduction
(Springer Nature, 2014)This book chapter is an introduction to and an overview of the information-theoretic, task independent utility function "Empowerment", which is defined as the channel capacity between an agent's actions and an agent's ... -
Empowerment and Relevant Goal Information as Alternatives to Graph-Theoretic Centrality for Navigational Decision Making
(2020-03-17)City planners and architects employ graph-theoretic measures to analyse models of the built environment and predict human navigational behaviour. A recent breakthrough in the neuroscience of spatial cognition has shown ... -
Empowerment and State-dependent Noise : An Intrinsic Motivation for Avoiding Unpredictable Agents
(MIT Press, 2013)Empowerment is a recently introduced intrinsic motivation algorithm based on the embodiment of an agent and the dynamics of the world the agent is situated in. Computed as the channel capacity from an agent’s actuators to ... -
Empowerment as a Generic Utility Function for Agents in a Simple Team Sport Simulation
(Springer Nature, 2017-08-11)Players in team sports cooperate in a coordinated manner to achieve common goals. Automated players in academic and commercial team sports simulations have tradi- tionally been driven by complex externally motivated value ... -
Empowerment as a metric for Optimization in HCI
(2015-04)We propose a novel metric for optimizing human-computer interfaces, based on the information-theoretic capacity of empowerment, a task-independent universal utility measure. Empowerment measures, for agent-environment ... -
Empowerment As Replacement for the Three Laws of Robotics
(2017-06-29)The greater ubiquity of robots creates a need for generic guidelines for robot behaviour. We focus less on how a robot can technically achieve a predefined goal, and more on what a robot should do in the first place. ... -
Empowerment for continuous agent-environment systems
(2011-02)This article develops generalizations of empowerment to continuous states. Empowerment is a recently introduced information-theoretic quantity motivated by hypotheses about the efficiency of the sensorimotor loop in ... -
EMU : Evolutionary Map of the Universe
(2011)EMU is a wide-field radio continuum survey planned for the new Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope. The primary goal of EMU is to make a deep (rms ~ 10 microJy/beam) radio continuum survey of the ... -
Enabling better management of patients: discrete event simulation combined with the STAR approach
(2017-12-21)Squeezed budgets and funding cuts are expected to become a feature of the healthcare landscape in the future, forcing decision makers such as service managers, clinicians and commissioners to find effective ways of allocating ... -
Enabling Positive Transition to University: Evaluating an App-Based Positive Psychology Intervention with UK First Year Undergraduate Students
(2022-09-16)Background: Starting university is a key life transition, and a potential source of psychological distress in first year university students. Those who manage the university transition effectively report high levels of ... -
Enabling research in care homes : an evaluation of a national network of research ready care homes
(2014-04-05)In the UK care homes are one of the main providers of long term care for older people with dementia. Despite the recent increase in care home research, residents with dementia are often excluded from studies. Care home ... -
Enabling students to participate in school improvement through a students as researchers programme
(2009)This paper explores students’ potential to make a difference to their school through a Students as Researchers programme. It begins by discussing the impetus for the current increase in student voice initiatives in schools. ... -
Enabling the discovery of fast transients: A kilonova science module for the Fink broker
(2023-09-07)Context. Large-scale astronomical surveys such as the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) opened a new window of opportunity in the search for rare astrophysical phenomena. Community brokers, such as FINK, have the task of ... -
Enacting is enough : Commentary on Dave Ward’s 'The agent in magenta'
(2009)In the action-space account of color, an emphasis is laid on implicit knowledge when it comes to experience, and explanatory ambitions are expressed. If the knowledge claims are interpreted in a strong way, the action-space ... -

Enactivism and Robotic Language Acquisition: A Report from the Frontier
(2019-03-07)In this article, I assess an existing language acquisition architecture, which was deployed in linguistically unconstrained human–robot interaction, together with experimental design decisions with regard to their enactivist ...
