Turn-taking is essential to the structure of human teamwork. Humans are typically aware of team members' intention to keep or relinquish their turn before a turn switch, where the responsibility of working on a shared task is shifted.…
In this paper, we describe a novel approach, based on Markov jump processes, to model small group conversational dynamics and to predict small group performance. More precisely, we estimate conversational events such as turn taking,…
In services such as retail audits and urban infrastructure monitoring, a platform dispatches rewarded, location-based micro-tasks to mobile workers traveling along personal origin-destination (OD) trips under hard time budgets. As requests…
We study the problem of human action recognition using motion capture (MoCap) sequences. Unlike existing techniques that take multiple manual steps to derive standardized skeleton representations as model input, we propose a novel…
Planning is one of the most critical tasks in autonomous systems, where even a small error can lead to major failures or million-dollar losses. Current state-of-the-art neural planning approaches struggle with complex domains, producing…
In a telecommunications network, fault alarms generated by network nodes are monitored in a Network Operations Centre (NOC) to ensure network availability and continuous network operations. The monitoring process comprises of tasks such as…
We present an approach for verifying systems at runtime. Our approach targets distributed systems whose components communicate with monitors over unreliable channels, where messages can be delayed, reordered, or even lost. Furthermore, our…
Despite the recent progress in video understanding and the continuous rate of improvement in temporal action localization throughout the years, it is still unclear how far (or close?) we are to solving the problem. To this end, we introduce…
Learning spatial-temporal relation among multiple actors is crucial for group activity recognition. Different group activities often show the diversified interactions between actors in the video. Hence, it is often difficult to model…
In task-oriented dialogue, a system often needs to follow a sequence of actions, called a workflow, that complies with a set of guidelines in order to complete a task. In this paper, we propose the novel problem of multi-step workflow…
Patient monitoring in intensive care units, although assisted by biosensors, needs continuous supervision of staff. To reduce the burden on staff members, IT infrastructures are built to record monitoring data and develop clinical decision…
Action spotting in soccer videos is the task of identifying the specific time when a certain key action of the game occurs. Lately, it has received a large amount of attention and powerful methods have been introduced. Action spotting…
We present the results of an exploratory study on how pairs interact with speech commands and touch gestures on a wall-sized display during a collaborative sensemaking task. Previous work has shown that speech commands, alone or in…
A new large-scale video dataset for human action recognition, called STAIR Actions is introduced. STAIR Actions contains 100 categories of action labels representing fine-grained everyday home actions so that it can be applied to research…
We present a task-and-motion planning (TAMP) algorithm robust against a human operator's cooperative or adversarial interventions. Interventions often invalidate the current plan and require replanning on the fly. Replanning can be…
Operating rooms (ORs) are cluttered, dynamic, highly occluded environments, where reliable spatial understanding is essential for situational awareness during complex surgical workflows. Achieving spatial understanding for panoptic…
Detecting human-object interactions (HOI) is an important step toward a comprehensive visual understanding of machines. While detecting non-temporal HOIs (e.g., sitting on a chair) from static images is feasible, it is unlikely even for…
In this paper we present SPot, an automated tool for detecting operating segments and their related performance indicators from earnings reports. Due to their company-specific nature, operating segments cannot be detected using…
For a given video-based Human-Object Interaction scene, modeling the spatio-temporal relationship between humans and objects are the important cue to understand the contextual information presented in the video. With the effective…
A great amount of endeavour has recently been devoted to the joint device activity detection and channel estimation problem in massive machine-type communications. This paper targets at two practical issues along this line that have not…
