    • Robot-Mediated Interviews with Children: What do potential users think? 

      Wood, Luke; Lehmann, Hagen; Dautenhahn, Kerstin; Robins, Ben; Rainer, Austen; Syrdal, Dag Sverre (2017-03-30)
      To date research investigating the potential of Robot-Mediated Interviews (RMI) has focused on establishing how children respond to robots in an interview scenario. In order to test if an RMI approach would work in a real ...

    • Robot-Mediated interviews: A field trial with a potential real-world user 

      Wood, Luke; Dautenhahn, Kerstin; Rainer, Austen; Robins, Ben; Lehmann, Hagen; Syrdal, Dag Sverre (2020-05-20)
      In recent years the possibility of using humanoid robots to perform interviews with children has been explored in a number of studies. This paper details a study in which a potential real-world user trialled a Robot-Mediated ...

    • Unscrambling code clones for one-to-one matching of duplicated code 

      Green, Pamela; Lane, Peter; Scholz, Sven-Bodo; Rainer, Austen (University of Hertfordshire, 2010)
      Code clone detection tools find sections of code that are similar. Different tools use difference representations of the code and different matching algorithms. This diversity makes clone detection tools attractive for ...
