Why converging technologies need converging international regulation

Marcello Ienca

Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, gene editing, nanotechnology, neurotechnology and robotics, which were originally unrelated or separated, are becoming more closely integrated. Consequently, the boundaries between the physical-biologi ...

Robust Unsupervised Gaze Calibration Using Conversation and Manipulation Attention Priors

Jean-Marc Odobez, Rémy Alain Siegfried

Gaze estimation is a difficult task, even for humans. However, as humans, we are good at understanding a situation and exploiting it to guess the expected visual focus of attention of people, and we usually use this information to retrieve people's gaze. I ...

Towards Reliable Evaluation of Algorithms for Road Network Reconstruction from Aerial Images

Pascal Fua, Mateusz Kozinski, Leonardo Citraro

Existing connectivity-oriented performance measures rank road delineation algorithms inconsistently, which makes it difficult to decide which one is best for a given application. We show that these inconsistencies stem from design flaws that make the metri ...

Transforming knowledge systems for life on Earth: Visions of future systems and how to get there

Susan Marie Mühlemeier

Formalised knowledge systems, including universities and research institutes, are important for contemporary societies. They are, however, also arguably failing humanity when their impact is measured against the level of progress being made in stimulating ...

Wearable and Self-Aware Machine Learning System for Online Cognitive Workload Monitoring and Drone Control

Fabio Isidoro Tiberio Dell'Agnola

The use of robots in search and rescue is gaining particular interest, but singular skills are required to ensure efficient deployments in real missions. To face this problem, there is a need to develop more intuitive control interfaces. Moreover, to ensur ...

Studying Summarization Evaluation Metrics in the Appropriate Scoring Range

Maxime Jean Julien Peyrard

In summarization, automatic evaluation metrics are usually compared based on their ability to correlate with human judgments. Unfortunately, the few existing human judgment datasets have been created as by-products of the manual evaluations performed durin ...

Semantic parametric body shape estimation from noisy depth sequences

Alexandru Eugen Ichim

The paper proposes a complete framework for tracking and modeling articulated human bodies from sequences of range maps acquired from off-the-shelf depth cameras. In particular, we propose an original approach for fitting a pre-defined parametric shape mod ...

Event-driven Human Based Evolutionary Knowledge Base for Smart Buildings

Maher Kayal, Nastaran Asadi Zanjani

This paper presents an approach to automatically create a knowledge base for smart buildings and let it dynamically evolve based on the behaviors of the occupants inside. Such a knowledge base compromises all life-style experiences and intelligent building ...

Une fabrique de la société-Monde, Internet entre technique et politique mondiale

Luc Guillemot

The Internet is a place made of worldwide interactions, and as such it is an environment of the World. Its technical specifications gather opposing views concerning relations to the World, which coincide nevertheless in the recognition of fundamental right ...

Trust categories and their impacts on information exchange processes in vertical collaborative networked organisations

Naoufel Cheikhrouhou, Michel Pouly, Garikoitz Madinabeitia

Whereas small and medium enterprises can answer the different business challenges through cooperation within collaborative networked organisations (CNOs), human aspects constitute a fundamental issue in these networks since it is neither organisations nor ...

Donut as I do: Learning from Failed Demonstrations

Aude Billard, Daniel Grollman

The canonical Robot Learning from Demonstration scenario has a robot observing human demonstrations of a task or behavior in a few situations, and then developing a generalized controller. Current work further reﬁnes the learned system, often to perform th ...
