Towards realizing an intelligent networked society, enabling low-cost low-energy connectivity for things, also known as Internet of Things (IoT), is of crucial importance. While the existing wireless access networks require centralized…
With rapid urbanization comes the increase of community, construction, and transportation noise in residential areas. The conventional approach of solely relying on sound pressure level (SPL) information to decide on the noise environment…
Use-cases in the Internet of Things (IoT) typically involve a high number of interconnected, heterogeneous devices. Due to the criticality of many IoT scenarios, systems and applications need to be tested thoroughly before rollout. Existing…
The emerging Internet of Things (IoT) has lead to a dramatic increase in type, quantity, and the number of functions that can be offered in a smart environment. Future smart environments will be even richer in terms of the number of devices…
Psychological counseling is a highly personalized and dynamic process that requires therapists to continuously monitor emotional changes, document session insights, and maintain therapeutic continuity. In this paper, we introduce…
The Internet of Things (IoT) is envisioned as a global network of connected things enabling ubiquitous machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. With estimations of billions of sensors and devices to be connected in the coming years, the IoT…
This paper describes a dialogue system developed for the Dialogue Robot Competition 2023 that achieves topic control for trip planning by inserting text into prompts using the ChatGPT-API. We built a system that is capable of generating…
Conversational information access is an emerging research area. Currently, human evaluation is used for end-to-end system evaluation, which is both very time and resource intensive at scale, and thus becomes a bottleneck of progress. As an…
Voice assistants (VAs) are typically evaluated through task performance metrics and self-report questionnaires, but people's voices themselves carry rich paralinguistic cues that reveal affect, effort, and interaction breakdowns. We present…
The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the way devices communicate and interact with each other, but it has also created new challenges in terms of security. In this context, intrusion detection has become a crucial mechanism to…
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a pervasive presence of interconnected and uniquely identifiable physical devices. These devices' goal is to gather data and drive actions in order to improve productivity, and ultimately reduce or…
Benchmarking AI systems in multi-turn interactive scenarios is essential for understanding their practical capabilities in real-world applications. However, existing evaluation protocols are highly heterogeneous, differing significantly in…
Existing audio question answering benchmarks largely emphasize sound event classification or caption-grounded queries, often enabling models to succeed through shortcut strategies, short-duration cues, lexical priors, dataset-specific…
Establishing evaluation schemes for spoken dialogue systems is important, but it can also be challenging. While subjective evaluations are commonly used in user experiments, objective evaluations are necessary for research comparison and…
The think aloud method is an important and commonly used tool for usability optimization. However, analyzing think aloud data could be time consuming. In this paper, we put forth an automatic analysis of verbal protocols and test the link…
In this paper, we explore the problem of developing personalized chatbots. A personalized chatbot is designed as a digital chatting assistant for a user. The key characteristic of a personalized chatbot is that it should have a consistent…
There has been increasing interest in deploying IoT devices to study human behaviour in locations such as homes and offices. Such devices can be deployed in a laboratory or `in the wild' in natural environments. The latter allows one to…
Radio remains a pervasive medium for mass information dissemination, with AM/FM stations reaching more Americans than either smartphone-based social networking or live television. Increasingly, radio broadcasts are also streamed online and…
To enhance the mobility and convenience of the campus community, we designed and implemented the Pulse system, a visual interface for communicating the crowd information to the lay public including campus members and visitors. This is a…
The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to require more effective and efficient wireless communications than ever before. For this reason, techniques such as spectrum sharing, dynamic spectrum access, extraction of signal intelligence and…
