Mutual Gaze and Linguistic Repetition in a Multimodal Corpus
(European Language Resources Association, 2022)This paper investigates the correlation between mutual gaze and linguistic repetition, a form of alignment, which we take as evidence of mutual understanding. We focus on a multimodal corpus made of three-party conversations ... -
Using the ODRL Profile for Access Control for Solid Pod Resource Governance
(2022)This demo shows an ODRL editor where RDF policies can be defined and enforced to grant access to personal data stored in Solid Pods. Policies are represented using OAC, the ODRL profile for Access Control, which allows ... -
Data Protection and Consenting Communication Mechanisms: Current Open Proposals and Challenges
(2022)Data Protection and Consenting Communication Mechanisms (DPCCMs) enable users to express their privacy decisions and manage their online consent. Thus, they can become a crucial means of protecting individuals’ online ... -
DPCat: Specification for an Interoperable and Machine-Readable Data Processing Catalogue Based on GDPR
(2022)The GDPR requires Data Controllers and Data Protection Officers (DPO) to maintain a Register of Processing Activities (ROPA) as part of overseeing the organisation’s compliance processes. The ROPA must include information ... -
Elastic FemtoCaching: Scale, Cache, and Route
(2021)The advent of elastic Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) enable Content Providers (CPs) to lease cache capacity on demand and at different cloud and edge locations in order to enhance the quality of their services. This ... -
Experimental Evaluation of Power Consumption in Virtualized Base Stations
(2021)Network virtualization is intended to be a key element of new generation networks. However, it is no clear how the implantation of this new paradigm will affect the power consumption of the network. To shed light on this ... -
Demonstrating a bayesian online learning for energy-aware resource orchestration in vRANs
(2021)Radio Access Network Virtualization (vRAN) will spearhead the quest towards supple radio stacks that adapt to heterogeneous infrastructure: from energy-constrained platforms deploying cells-on-wheels (e.g., drones) or ... -
Sympathy for the digital: influence of synthetic voice on affinity, social presence and empathy for photorealistic virtual humans
(2022)In this paper, we investigate the effect of a realism mismatch in the voice and appearance of a photorealistic virtual character in both immersive and screen-mediated virtual contexts. While many studies have investigated ... -
How to train your dog: Neural enhancement of quadruped animations
(2021)Creating realistic quadruped animations is challenging. Producing realistic animations using methods such as key-framing is time consuming and requires much artistic expertise. Alternatively, motion capture methods have ... -
Model for predicting perception of facial action unit activation using virtual humans
(2021)Blendshape facial rigs are used extensively in the industry for facial animation of virtual humans. However, storing and manipulating large numbers of facial meshes (blendshapes) is costly in terms of memory and computation ... -
Ascending from the valley: Can state-of-the-art photorealism avoid the uncanny?
(2021)Advancements in real-time rendering technology have continued to develop rapidly over the course of the last decade. Consequently, human likenesses have been represented virtually with increasingly impressive detail. ... -
No-Regret Slice Reservation Algorithms
(2021)Emerging network slicing markets promise to boost the utilization of expensive network resources and to unleash the potential of over-the-top services. Their success, however, is conditioned on the service providers (SPs) ... -
Compact MIMO Antenna for MUSIC-Based Angle of Arrival Estimation in Wrist-Worn Devices
(IEEE, 2022)In this work, we propose a compact Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna for wrist-worn devices. The design is capable of unidirectional beamsteering across the entire horizontal plane, a property that is exploited ... -
Compact Stacked-Patch Antenna for Directional Modulation in Azimuth and Elevation Planes
(IEEE, 2022)This work proposes a compact stacked-patch antenna capable of beamsteering in the vertical and horizontal directions. These characteristics are studied to realize directional modulation (DM) schemes in the vertical and ... -
SMPL-Based 3D Pedestrian Pose Prediction
(2021)Modeling human motion is a long-standing problem in computer vision. The rapid development of deep learning technologies for computer vision problems resulted in increased attention in the area of pose prediction due to ... -
Can Connected Autonomous Vehicles really improve mixed traffic efficiency in realistic scenarios?
(2021)Connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) can supplement the information from their own sensors with information from surrounding CAVs for decision making and control. This has the potential to improve traffic efficiency. CAVs ... -
A Measurement Study of Offloading Virtual Network Functions to the Edge
(2022)The deployment of virtual network functions (VNFs) at edge servers potentially impairs the performance of latency-sensitive applications due to their computational cost. This work considers a new approach to addressing ... -
A hybrid agent-based and equation based model for the spread of infectious diseases
(2020)Both agent-based models and equation-based models can be used to model the spread of an infectious disease. Equation-based models have been shown to capture the overall dynamics of a disease outbreak while agent-based ... -
Hybrid modelling for stroke care: Review and suggestions of new approaches for risk assessment and simulation of scenarios
(2021)Stroke is an example of a complex and multi-factorial disease involving multiple organs, timescales, and disease mechanisms. To deal with this complexity, and to realize Precision Medicine of stroke, mathematical models ... -
The impact of body mass index on functional rehabilitation outcomes of working-age inpatients with stroke
(2021)Background: Stroke is the most relevant cause of acquired persistent disability in adulthood. The relationship between patient's weight during rehabilitation and stroke functional outcome is controversial, previous research ...
