Parsing the Turing Test: Philosophical and Methodological Issues in the Quest for the Thinking Computer

Parsing the Turing Test: Philosophical and Methodological Issues in the Quest for the Thinking Computer by Robert Epstein, Gary Roberts, Grace Beber
English | PDF | 2009 | 519 Pages | ISBN : 1402067089 | 9.4 MB

Parsing the Turing Test is a landmark exploration of both the philosophical and methodological issues surrounding the search for true artificial intelligence. Will computers and robots ever think and communicate the way humans do? When a computer crosses the threshold into self-consciousness, will it immediately jump into the Internet and create a World Mind? Will intelligent computers someday recognize the rather doubtful intelligence of human beings? Distinguished psychologists, computer scientists, philosophers, and programmers from around the world debate these weighty issues – and, in effect, the future of the human race – in this important volume.

Immersive Analytics By Kim Marriott
English | PDF | 2018 | 365 Pages | ISBN : 3030013871 | 141.3 MB

Immersive Analytics is a new research initiative that aims to remove barriers between people, their data and the tools they use for analysis and decision making. Here the aims of immersive analytics research are clarified, its opportunities and historical context, as well as providing a broad research agenda for the field. In addition, it is reviewed how the term immersion has been used to refer to both technological and psychological immersion, both of which are central to immersive analytics research.

Plug-and-Play Visual Subgraph Query Interfaces

Plug-and-Play Visual Subgraph Query Interfaces by Sourav S. Bhowmick , Byron Choi
English | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 182 Pages | ISBN : 3031161610 | 28.7 MB

This book details recent developments in the emerging area of plug-and-play (PnP) visual subgraph query interfaces (VQI). These PnP interfaces are grounded in the principles of human-computer interaction (HCI) and cognitive psychology to address long-standing limitations to bottom-up search capabilities in graph databases using traditional graph query languages, which often require domain experts and specialist programmers. This book explains how PnP interfaces go against the traditional mantra of VQI construction by taking a data-driven approach and giving end users the freedom to easily and quickly construct and maintain a VQI for any data sources without resorting to coding.

Emotionales Interaktionsdesign: Gesten und Mimik interaktiver Systeme by Rainer Dorau
Deutsch | PDF | 2011 | 260 Pages | ISBN : 3642031005 | 8.89 MB

Eine gelungene Interaktion zwischen Mensch und Technik ist das Ergebnis eines perfekt abgestimmten Wechselspiels von Gesten des Bedieners und Rückmeldungen des Systems – dessen Mimik. Heute prägen die Multitouch-Interfaces der Smartphones oder Tablett-PCs und die gerätegestützte Eingabe à la Wii-Controller ganz entscheidend den Umgang mit technischen Systemen, auch in Consumer-fremden Bereichen wie der Industrie. Die systematische Gegenüberstellung unterschiedlichster Multitouch-Gesten und gerätegestützter Eingabemethoden untersucht deren Eignung für bestimmte Anwendungen und gibt dem Leser wertvolle Anregungen für eigene Projekte.

Computing with Instinct: Rediscovering Artificial Intelligence

Computing with Instinct: Rediscovering Artificial Intelligence by Yang Cai
English | PDF | 2011 | 173 Pages | ISBN : 3642197566 | 5.9 MB

Simplicity in nature is the ultimate sophistication. The world's magnificence has been enriched by the inner drive of instincts, the profound drive of our everyday life. Instinct is an inherited behavior that responds to environmental stimuli. Instinctive computing is a computational simulation of biological and cognitive instincts, which influence how we see, feel, appear, think and act. If we want a computer to be genuinely secure, intelligent, and to interact naturally with us, we must give computers the ability to recognize, understand, and even to have primitive instincts.

Artificial Life Models in Software

Artificial Life Models in Software by Maciej Komosinski, Andrew Adamatzky
English | PDF(True) | 2009 | 450 Pages | ISBN : 1848822847 | 24.43 MB

The advent of powerful processing technologies and the advances in software development tools have drastically changed the approach and implementation of computational research in fundamental properties of living systems through simulating and synthesizing biological entities and processes in artificial media. Nowadays realistic physical and physiological simulation of natural and would-be creatures, worlds and societies becomes a low-cost task for ordinary home computers. The progress in technology has dramatically reshaped the structure of the software, the execution of a code, and visualization fundamentals. This has led to the emergence of novel breeds of artificial life software models, including three-dimensional programmable simulation environment, distributed discrete events platforms and multi-agent systems. This second edition reflects the technological and research advancements, and presents the best examples of artificial life software models developed in the World and available for users.

A Computational Model of Natural Language Communication: Interpretation, Inference, and Production in Database Semantics by Roland Hausser
English | PDF(True) | 2006 | 365 Pages | ISBN : 354035476X | 2.6 MB

Everyday life would be easier if we could simply talk with machines instead of having to program them. Before such talking robots can be built, however, there must be a theory of how communicating with natural language works. This requires not only a grammatical analysis of the language signs, but also a model of the cognitive agent, with interfaces for recognition and action, an internal database, and an algorithm for reading content in and out. In Database Semantics, these ingredients are used for reconstructing natural language communication as a mechanism for transferring content from the database of the speaker to the database of the hearer.

Ultrasound Mid-Air Haptics for Touchless Interfaces by Orestis Georgiou, William Frier, Euan Freeman, Claudio Pacchierotti, Takayuki Hoshi
English | EPUB(True) | 2022 | 411 Pages | ISBN : 3031040422 | 100.8 MB

Over the last decade, ultrasound mid-air haptic technology has emerged and rapidly advanced to engage multidisciplinary scientific communities within and adjacent to the haptics and HCI fields. Additionally, this haptic technology has been adopted by a number of industry sectors (e.g., automotive, virtual reality, digital signage, neuroscience research) who appear keen to exploit its unique value proposition: the ability to deliver rich haptic sensations from a distance, without the need to touch, wear or hold anything in order to enhance touchless interfaces, novel applications, and experiences.
