Artificial Intelligence (AI) covers a broad spectrum of computational problems and use cases. Many of those implicate profound and sometimes intricate questions of how humans interact or should interact with AIs. Moreover, many users or…
When manipulating objects in the real world, we need reactive feedback policies that take into account sensor information to inform decisions. This study aims to determine how different encoders can be used in a reinforcement learning (RL)…
People's social relationships are often manifested through their surroundings, with certain objects or interactions acting as symbols for specific relationships, e.g., wedding rings, roses, hugs, or holding hands. This brings unique…
Context-awareness in personalized mobile applications is a growing area of study. Social context is one of the most important sources of information in human-activity based applications. In this paper, we mainly focus on social relational…
Virtual environments (VEs) can create collaborative and social spaces, which are increasingly important in the face of remote work and travel reduction. Recent advances, such as more open and widely available platforms, create new…
Feature disentanglement of the foreground target objects and the background surrounding context has not been yet fully accomplished. The lack of network interpretability prevents advancing for feature disentanglement and better…
Everyday objects, like remote controls or electric toothbrushes, are crafted with hand-accessible interfaces. Expanding on this design principle, extended reality (XR) interfaces for physical tasks could facilitate interaction without…
Learning representations through self-supervision on unlabeled data has proven highly effective for understanding diverse images. However, remote sensing images often have complex and densely populated scenes with multiple land objects and…
Narrated instructional videos often show and describe manipulations of similar objects, e.g., repairing a particular model of a car or laptop. In this work we aim to reconstruct such objects and to localize associated narrations in 3D.…
A robot's ability to understand or ground natural language instructions is fundamentally tied to its knowledge about the surrounding world. We present an approach to grounding natural language utterances in the context of factual…
Immersive visualization of network data enables users to physically navigate and interact with complex structures, but managing transitions between detailed local (egocentric) views and global (exocentric) overviews remains a major…
Online programming communities provide a space for novices to engage with computing concepts, allowing them to learn and develop computing skills using user-generated projects. However, the lack of structured guidance in the informal…
Understanding how the brain encodes external stimuli and how these stimuli can be decoded from the measured brain activities are long-standing and challenging questions in neuroscience. In this paper, we focus on reconstructing the complex…
Deploying interactive systems in-the-wild requires adaptability to situations not encountered in lab environments. Our work details our experience about the impact of architecture choice on behavior reusability and reactivity while…
An integral part of seamless human-human communication is engagement, the process by which two or more participants establish, maintain, and end their perceived connection. Therefore, to develop successful human-centered human-machine…
Making a computational agent 'social' has implications for how it perceives itself and the environment in which it is situated, including the ability to recognise the behaviours of others. We point to recent work on social planning, i.e.…
Woodworkers have to navigate multiple considerations when planning a project, including available resources, skill-level, and intended effort. Do it yourself (DIY) woodworkers face these challenges most acutely because of tight material…
Next-generation augmented reality (AR) promises a high degree of context-awareness - a detailed knowledge of the environmental, user, social and system conditions in which an AR experience takes place. This will facilitate both the closer…
Recent advancements in Augmented Reality (AR) research have highlighted the critical role of context awareness in enhancing interface effectiveness and user experience. This underscores the need for intelligent AR (iAR) interfaces that…
Our world is not static and humans naturally cause changes in their environments through interactions, e.g., opening doors or moving furniture. Modeling changes caused by humans is essential for building digital twins, e.g., in the context…
