Dialog acts in greeting and leavetaking in social talk
(2017)Conversation proceeds through dialogue moves or acts, and dialog act annotation can aid the design of artificial dialog. While many dialogs are task-based or instrumental, with clear goals, as in the case of a service ... -
Increasing and Decreasing Perceived Bias by Distorting the Quality of News Website Design
(BCS Learning & Development Ltd, 2018)News website design has previously been shown to impact perceived credibility, and one of its core dimensions and measures, bias. This paper demonstrates that by adapting the quality of the visual presentation of webpages ... -
The ADELE Corpus of Dyadic Social Text Conversations:Dialog Act Annotation with ISO 24617-2
(European Language Resources Association (ELRA), 2018)Social or interactional dialog is less well described than task-based or instrumental dialog, although there is increasing interest in the genre, particularly in light of new spoken and text dialog applications which aim ... -
Pilot Data Collection Survey and Analytical Techniques for Persuasion Engineering Systems
(2019)Persuasive communication is learned from childhood and can further be refined through study and experience. The ability to persuade through effective argumentation is regarded as a sign of intelligence,enticing ... -
ADELE: Care and companionship for independent aging
(2018)Dialogue system technology offers interesting prospects for services to seniors living independently. A spoken or text dialog system can support services such as monitoring medication adherence, fall prevention and ... -
Representing Activities associated with Processing of Personal Data and Consent using Semantic Web for GDPR Compliance
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2020)The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a landmark law regarding privacy and data protection. GDPR stipulates potentially large fines if an organisation is found to not be compliant. This has resulted in research ... -
Monitoring & Predicting QoS in IoT Services
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2020)Internet of Things (IoT) applications can be built from a number of heterogeneous services provided by a range of devices, which are potentially resource constrained and/or mobile. These device characteristics can lead to ... -
Learning Binary Search Trees through Serious Games
(ACM, 2020)Data structures and algorithms are core topics in Computer Science, but they are difficult topics to grasp. Data structures and algorithmic concepts are abstract and difficult to relate to previous knowledge. To facilitate ... -
Demand-Responsive Zone Generation for Real-Time Vehicle Rebalancing in Ride-Sharing Fleets
(2020)Enabling Ride-sharing (RS) in existing Mobility-on demand (MoD) systems allows to reduce the operating vehicle fleet size while achieving a similar level of service. This however requires an efficient vehicle to multiple ... -
Entity linking for text based cultural heritage collections
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2020)The ongoing digitisation of cultural heritage data and subsequent publication of that data in digital format has completely changed the manner in which people investigate and engage with cultural treasures. This change has ... -
Cloud Strife: Expanding the horizons of Cloud Gaming Services
(2017)Cloud gaming where computer games are executed on cloud based resources is a new service which can be extremely challenging for service providers. Unlike other web and video streaming applications it requires both a ... -
uDiscovery: An Urban-Centric Model for Service Discovery in Smart Cities
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2020)Cities offer services to their citizens to improve their overall quality of life (e.g., education, or health care services) and these services are frequently supported by digital information (e.g., library opening hours ... -
Measuring Synchrony in Task-based Dialogues
(ISCA, 2017)In many contexts from casual everyday conversations to formal discussions, people tend to repeat their interlocutors, and themselves. This phenomenon not only yields random repetitions one might expect from a natural Zipfian ... -
Class-specific Object Pose Estimation and Reconstruction using 3D Part Geometry
(2016)We propose a novel approach for detecting and reconstructing class-specific objects from 2D images. Reconstruction and detection, despite major advances, are still wanting in performance. Hence, approaches that try to solve ... -
The Future of E-Voting
(2017)Voting systems have been around for hundreds of years and despite different views on their integrity, have always been deemed secure with some fundamental security and anonymity principles. Numerous electronic ... -
SAMoD: Shared Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand using Decentralized Reinforcement Learning
(2018)Shared mobility-on-demand systems can improve the efficiency of urban mobility through reduced vehicle ownership and parking demand. However, some issues in their implementations remain open, most notably the issue of ... -
On-Talk and Off-Talk Detection: A Discrete Wavelet Transform Analysis of Electroencephalogram
(2018)Spoken interaction with a machine results in a behaviour that is not very common in face-to-face human communication: Off-Talk, which is defined as speech utterances that are not directed to an immediate interlocutor, the ... -
Speech Rate Calculations with Short Utterances: A Study from a Speech-to-Speech, Machine Translation Mediated Map Task
(European Language Resources Association (ELRA), 2018)The motivation for this paper is to present a way to verify if an utterance within a corpus is pronounced at a fast or slow pace. An alternative method to the well-known Word-Per-Minute (wpm) method for cases where this ... -
Exploring Linked Data For The Automatic Enrichment of Historical Archives
(2018)With the increasing scale of online cultural heritage collections, the efforts of manually adding annotations to their contents become a challenging and costly endeavour. Entity Linking is a process used to automatically ... -
Towards Knowledge-based Systems for GDPR Compliance
(2018)Legal compliance is traditionally seen to be sufficiently demonstrable using legal documents that describe how various operations and activities follow a given set of obligations. The General Data Protection Regulation ...
