title: An investigation of mid-air gesture interaction for older adults
Creators: name: Theil Cabreira, Arthur
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2019

description: Older adults (60+) face natural and gradual decline in cognitive, sensory and motor functions that are often the reason for the difficulties that older users come up against when interacting with computers. For that reason, the investigation and design of age-inclusive input methods for computer interaction is much needed and relevant due to an ageing population. The advances of motion sensing technologies and mid-air gesture interaction reinvented how individuals can interact with computer interfaces and this modality of input method is often deemed as a more “natural” and “intuitive” than using purely traditional input devices such mouse interaction. Although explored in gaming and entertainment, the suitability of mid-air gesture interaction for older users in particular is still little known. The purpose of this research is to investigate the potential of mid-air gesture interaction to facilitate computer use for older users, and to address the challenges that older adults may face when interacting with gestures in mid-air. This doctoral research is presented as a collection of papers that, together, develop the topic of ageing and computer interaction through mid-air gestures. The initial point for this research was to establish how older users differ from younger users and focus on the challenges faced by older adults when interacting with mid-air gesture interaction. Once these challenges were identified, this work aimed to explore a series of usability challenges and opportunities to further develop age-inclusive interfaces based on mid-air gesture interaction. Through a series of empirical studies, this research intends to provide recommendations for designing mid-air gesture interaction that better take into consideration the needs and skills of the older population and aims to contribute to the advance of age-friendly interfaces.

Unsupervised statistical models for general object recognition
Creators: name: Carbonetto, Peter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: We approach the object recognition problem as the process of attaching meaningful labels to specific regions of an image. Given a set of images and their captions, we segment the images, in either a crude or sophisticated fashion, then learn the proper associations between words and regions. Previous models are limited by the scope of the representation, and performance is constrained by noise from poor initial clusterings of the image features. We propose three improvements that address these issues. First, we describe a model that incorporates clustering into the learning step using a basic mixture model. Second, we propose Bayesian priors on the mixture model to stabilise learning and automatically weight features. Third, we develop a more expressive model that learns spatial relations between regions of a scene. Using the analogy of building a lexicon via an aligned bitext, we formulate a probabilistic mapping between the image feature vectors and the supplied word tokens. To find the best hypothesis, we hill-climb the log-posterior using the EM algorithm. Spatial context introduces cycles to our probabilistic graphical model, so we use loopy belief propagation to compute the expectation of the complete log-posterior, and iterative scaling and iterative proportional fitting on the pseudo-likelihood approximation to render parameter estimation tractable. The EM algorithm is no longer guaranteed to converge with an intractable posterior, but experiments show the approximate E and M Steps consistently converge to a local solution. Empirical results on a diverse array of images show that learning image feature clusters using a standard mixture model, feature weighting using Bayesian shrinkage priors and spatial context potentials considerably improve the accuracy of general object recognition. Moreover, results suggest that good performance can be obtained without expensive image segmentations.

description: The potential for neutrino telescopes to discover charged stau production in neutrino-nucleon interactions in Earth depends in part on the stau lifetime and range. In some supersymmetric scenarios, the next lightest supersymmetric particle is a stau with a decay length on the scale of 10 km. We evaluate the electromagnetic energy loss as a function of energy and stau mass. The energy loss parameter $β$ scales as the inverse stau mass for the dominating electromagnetic processes, photonuclear and $e^+e^-$ pair production. The range can be parameterized as a function of stau mass, initial energy and minimum final energy. In comparison to earlier estimates of the stau range, our results are as much as a factor of two larger, improving the potential for stau discovery in neutrino telescopes.

description: The launch of the James Webb Space Telescope will open up a new window for observations at the highest redshifts, reaching out to z~15. However, even with this new facility, the first stars will remain out of reach, as they are born in small minihalos with luminosities too faint to be detected even by the longest exposure times. In this paper, we investigate the basic properties of the Ultimately Large Telescope, a facility that can detect Population III star formation regions at high redshift. Observations will take place in the near-infrared and therefore a moon-based facility is proposed. An instrument needs to reach magnitudes as faint as 39mag$_\mathrm{AB}$, corresponding to a primary mirror size of about 100m in diameter. Assuming JWST NIRCam filters, we estimate that Pop III sources will have unique signatures in a colour-colour space and can be identified unambiguously.

description: Bloch-vector spaces for $N$-level systems are investigated from the spherical-coordinate point of view in order to understand their geometrical aspects. We show that the maximum radius in each direction, which is due to the construction of the Bloch-vector space, is determined by the minimum eigenvalue of the corresponding observable (orthogonal generator of SU(N)). From this fact, we reveal the dual property of the structure of the Bloch-vector space; if in some direction the space reachs the large sphere (pure state), then in the opposite direction the space can only get to the small sphere, and vice versa. Another application is a parameterization with simple ranges of density operators. We also provide three classes of quantum-state representation based on actual measurements beyond the Bloch vector and discuss their state-spaces.

description: We propose a new structure for the variational auto-encoders (VAEs) prior, with the weakly informative multivariate Student's t-distribution. In the proposed model all distribution parameters are trained, thereby allowing for a more robust approximation of the underlying data distribution. We used Fashion-MNIST data in two experiments to compare the proposed VAEs with the standard Gaussian priors. Both experiments showed a better reconstruction of the images with VAEs using Student's t-prior distribution.

description: Interfacial phenomena associated with fluid adsorption in two dimensional systems has recently been shown to exhibit hidden symmetries, or covariances, which precisely relate local adsorption properties in different confining geometries. We show that covariance also occurs in three dimensional systems and is likely to be verifiable experimentally and in Ising model simulations studies. Specifically, we study complete wetting in wedge (W) and cone (C) geometries as bulk coexistence is approached and show that the equilibrium mid-point heights satisfy $l_c (h,α)=l_w(\frac{h}{2} ,α),$ where $h$ measures the partial pressure and $α$ is the tilt angle. This covariance is valid for both short-ranged and long-ranged intermolecular forces and identifies both leading and next-to-leading order critical exponents and amplitudes in the confining geometries. Connection with capillary condensation-like phenomena is also made.

description: Deformable fractured porous media appear in many geoscience applications. While the extended finite element (XFEM) has been successfully developed within the computational mechanics community for accurate modeling of the deformation, its application in natural geoscientific applications is not straightforward. This is mainly due to the fact that subsurface formations are heterogeneous and span large length scales with many fractures at different scales. In this work, we propose a novel multiscale formulation for XFEM, based on locally computed basis functions. The local multiscale basis functions capture the heterogeneity and discontinuities introduced by fractures. Local boundary conditions are set to follow a reduced-dimensional system, in order to preserve the accuracy of the basis functions. Using these multiscale bases, a multiscale coarse-scale system is then governed algebraically and solved, in which no enrichment due to the fractures exist. Such formulation allows for significant computational cost reduction, at the same time, it preserves the accuracy of the discrete displacement vector space. The coarse-scale solution is finally interpolated back to the fine scale system, using the same multiscale basis functions. The proposed multiscale XFEM (MS-XFEM) is also integrated within a two-stage algebraic iterative solver, through which error reduction to any desired level can be achieved. Several proof-of-concept numerical tests are presented to assess the performance of the developed method. It is shown that the MS-XFEM is accurate, when compared with the fine-scale reference XFEM solutions. At the same time, it is significantly more efficient than the XFEM on fine-scale resolution. As such, it develops the first scalable XFEM method for large-scale heavily fractured porous media.

description: In this letter, we proposed an ungrowing scale-free network model, wherein the total number of nodes is fixed and the evolution of network structure is driven by a rewiring process only. In spite of the idiographic form of $G$, by using a two-order master equation, we obtain the analytic solution of degree distribution in stable state of the network evolution under the condition that the selection probability $G$ in rewiring process only depends on nodes' degrees. A particular kind of the present networks with $G$ linearly correlated with degree is studied in detail. The analysis and simulations show that the degree distributions of these networks can varying from the Possion form to the power-law form with the decrease of a free parameter $α$, indicating the growth may not be a necessary condition of the self-organizaton of a network in a scale-free structure.

Decision theoretic learning of human facial displays and gestures
Creators: name: Hoey, Jesse
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: We present a vision-based, adaptive, decision-theoretic model of human facial displays and gestures in interaction. Changes in the human face occur due to many factors, including communication, emotion, speech, and physiology. Most systems for facial expression analysis attempt to recognize one or more of these factors, resulting in a machine whose inputs are video sequences or static images, and whose outputs are, for example, basic emotion categories. Our approach is fundamentally different. We make no prior commitment to some particular recognition task. Instead, we consider that the meaning of a facial display for an observer is contained in its relationship to actions and outcomes. Agents must distinguish facial displays according to their affordances, or how they help an agent to maximize utility. To this end, our system learns relationships between the movements of a person's face, the context in which they are acting, and a utility function. The model is a partially observable Markov decision process, or POMDP. The video observations are integrated into the POMDP using a dynamic Bayesian network, which creates spatial and temoral abstractions amenable to decision making at the high level. The parameters of the model are learned from training data using an a-posteriori constrained optimization technique based on the expectation-maximization algorithm. The training does not require labeled data, since we do not train classifiers for individual facial actions, and then integrate them into the model. Rather, the learning process discovers clusters of facial motions and their relationship to the context automatically. As such, it can be applied to any situation in which non-verbal gestures are purposefully used in a task. We present an experimental paradigm in which we record two humans playing a collaborative game, or a single human playing against an automated agent, and learn the human behaviors. We use the resulting model to predict human actions. We show results on three simple games.

description: We develop a comprehensive Renormalization Group (RG) approach to criticality in open Floquet systems, where dissipation enables the system to reach a well-defined Floquet steady state of finite entropy, and all observables are synchronized with the drive. We provide a detailed description of how to combine Keldysh and Floquet formalisms to account for the critical fluctuations in the weakly and rapidly driven regime. A key insight is that a reduction to the time-averaged, static sector, is not possible close to the critical point. This guides the design of a perturbative dynamic RG approach, which treats the time-dependent, dynamic sector associated to higher harmonics of the drive, on an equal footing with the time-averaged sector. Within this framework, we develop a weak drive expansion scheme, which enables to systematically truncate the RG flow equations in powers of the inverse drive frequency $Ω^{-1}$. This allows us to show how a periodic drive inhibits scale invariance and critical fluctuations of second order phase transitions in rapidly driven open systems: Although criticality emerges in the limit $Ω^{-1}=0$, any finite drive frequency produces a scale that remains finite all through the phase transition. This is a universal mechanism that relies on the competition of the critical fluctuations within the static and dynamic sectors of the problem.

description: Upon the addition of multivalent cations, a giant DNA chain exhibits a large discrete transition from an elongated coil into a folded compact state. We performed single-chain observation of long DNAs in the presence of a tetravalent cation (spermine), at various temperatures and monovalent salt concentrations. We confirmed that the compact state is preferred at higher temperatures and at lower monovalent salt concentrations. This result is interpreted in terms of an increase in the net translational entropy of small ions due to ionic exchange between higher and lower valence ions.

description: Dealing with missing data in data analysis is inevitable. Although powerful imputation methods that address this problem exist, there is still much room for improvement. In this study, we examined single imputation based on deep autoencoders, motivated by the apparent success of deep learning to efficiently extract useful dataset features. We have developed a consistent framework for both training and imputation. Moreover, we benchmarked the results against state-of-the-art imputation methods on different data sizes and characteristics. The work was not limited to the one-type variable dataset; we also imputed missing data with multi-type variables, e.g., a combination of binary, categorical, and continuous attributes. To evaluate the imputation methods, we randomly corrupted the complete data, with varying degrees of corruption, and then compared the imputed and original values. In all experiments, the developed autoencoder obtained the smallest error for all ranges of initial data corruption.

Two kinds of periodic structures are investigated; (a) a multilayer and (b) a stripe composed of a magneto-chiral material and air.

description: A three-step estimation method and a Nonlinear Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (NQAIDS) are used to assess the vegetable demand behavior of rural and urban households in the Philippines. The results show that most of the expenditure and own-price elasticities of the vegetables analyzed are near or larger than unitary in both rural and urban areas. For majority of the vegetable commodities, there are no significant differences in the expenditure, own-price, and cross-price elasticities of urban households relative to rural households. Only demand for cabbage and tomatoes in the urban areas tend to be statistically different compared to rural areas. The demand behavior information gleaned from the analysis provides important insights that could help guide nutritional and public policies in rural and urban areas of the Philippines.

description: Topological spin structures, such as magnetic skyrmions, hold great promises for data storage applications, thanks to their inherent stability. In most cases, skyrmions are stabilized by magnetic fields in non-centrosymmetric systems displaying the chiral Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya exchange interaction, while spontaneous skyrmion lattices have been reported in centrosymmetric itinerant magnets with long-range interactions. Here, a spontaneous anti-biskyrmion lattice with unique topology and chirality is predicted in the monolayer of a semiconducting and centrosymmetric metal halide, NiI$_2$. Our first-principles and Monte Carlo simulations reveal that the anisotropies of the short-range symmetric exchange, when combined with magnetic frustration, can lead to an emergent chiral interaction that is responsible for the predicted topological spin structures. The proposed mechanism finds a prototypical manifestation in two-dimensional magnets, thus broadening the class of materials that can host spontaneous skyrmionic states.

description: The relation between thermodynamic phase transitions in classical systems and topology changes in their state space is discussed for systems in which equivalence of statistical ensembles does not hold. As an example, the spherical model with mean field-type interactions is considered. Exact results for microcanonical and canonical quantities are compared with topological properties of a certain family of submanifolds of the state space. Due to the observed ensemble inequivalence, a close relation is expected to exist only between the topological approach and one of the statistical ensembles. It is found that the observed topology changes can be interpreted meaningfully when compared to microcanonical quantities.

description: This paper presents a parametric Model Order Reduction (MOR) method for weakly coupled thermo-mechanical Finite Element (FE) models of machine tools and other similar mechatronic systems. This work proposes a reduction method, Krylov Modal Subspace (KMS), and a theoretical bound of the reduction error. The developed method addresses the parametric dependency of the convective boundary conditions using the concept of system bilinearization. Additionally, this paper investigates the coupling between the reduced-order thermal system and the mechanical response. A numerical example shows that the reduced-order model captures the response of the original system in the frequency range of interest.

description: We investigate the performance of a micro gap vacuum thermionic energy converter considering the loss mechanisms due to the space charge effect and interelectrode radiative heat transfer. The dependencies of the space charge effect and near-field radiative heat exchange on the interelectrode distance are derived based on established theories. The electrode temperatures are determined by solving the steady-state energy balance equations in a numerical, iterative process and considering a constant energy flux input to the emitter. The resultant behaviour of the different mechanisms of energy flow from the electrodes is studied for a wide range of interelectrode distances, which provides new insights into the device operation. The maximum efficiency of the converter is obtained by optimizing the operating voltage and interelectrode distance. Considering the interplay between space charge and near-field radiative heat transfer, an optimal range is determined for the interelectrode distance. The optimal value of the distance and the lower limit of this range are found to be significantly higher than previously reported, where constant electrode temperatures had been assumed.

description: This study sought to examine the nature of farmers’ use of market advisory services based on the results of a survey of US crop producers. The survey revealed that market advisory service users tend to be significantly more risk seeking than non-users. Survey results indicated a large range in patterns of use of advisory services. Most farmers use advisory services to the greatest extent for marketing information, market analysis, and to keep up with markets. General guidelines (market strategies and price information) are utilized more than specific advice (e.g., specific pricing decisions, price forecasts). Only 11% of farmers reported that they closely follow the marketing recommendations provided by advisory services. Nonetheless, farmers report that the information provided by advisory services has a substantial impact on their marketing decisions. The implications of these results for advisory services, farmers, extension programs and research are discussed.

description: Shahar sivilzatsiyaning rivojlanish manbai hisoblanib, ayni vaqtda atrof- muhit ekologiyasi buzilishining sababchisi ham hisoblanadi. Shuning uchun ham hayotiy faoliyatni taminlashda faqat ekologik texnologiyalardan foydalanuvchi shaharlarni yaratish juda muhim ahamiyatga ega bo’lib bormoqda. Shaharlarni “ekologik” qayta qurish kelajakdagi rivojlanishning zaruriy talabi bo"lishi lozim. Shaharlar rivojlanishi tabiatga zarar yetkazmasdan, inson hayotiga yuqori sifatlarda xizmat ko"rsatsishi lozim.  Ekoshahar bu- atrof- muhitga ta’sir etishini hisobga olib loyihalangan mustahkam, ustuvor, turg’un shahardir. Mazkur shaharda yashovchi aholi energiyadan, suv va oziq-ovqat mahsulotlaridan foydalanishni minimallashtiradi, issiqlikning behuda sarflanishiga, havoni karbonat  angidrid ifloslanishiga umuman yo’l qo’yilmaydi. Birinchi marotaba «ekoshahar» atamasini 1987-yilda Richard Register «Sog’lom kelajak uchun shahar qurilishi» kitobida ishlatdi. Kelajak shahar o’zini atrof-muhitga minimal darajada bog’liq holda ta’minlab, yangilanuvchi manbalar yordamida energiya ishlab chiqaradi. Ekoshahar aholisining asosiy intilishi-uglerod isini qisqartirishdir.

description: $β$ Cet, 31 Com and $μ$ Vel represent the main stages through which late-type giants evolve during their lifetime (the Hertzsprung gap (31 Com), the rapid braking zone ($μ$ Vel) and the core helium burning ``clump'' phase ($β$ Cet)). An analysis of their high resolution {\it Chandra} X-ray spectra reveals similar coronal characteristics in terms of both temperature structure and element abundances for the more evolved stars ($μ$ Vel and $β$ Cet) with slight differences for the `younger' giant (31 Com). The coronal temperature structure of 31 Com is significantly hotter showing a clear peak while $β$ Cet and $μ$ Vel show a plateau. $β$ Cet and $μ$ Vel show evidence for a FIP effect in which coronae are depleted in high FIP elements relative to their photospheres by a factor of $\sim 2$. In contrast, 31 Com is characterized by a lack of FIP effect. In other words, neither depletion nor enhancement relative to stellar photospheric values is found. We conclude that the structural changes during the evolution of late-type giants could be responsible for the observed differences in coronal abundances and temperature structure. In particular, the size of the convection zone coupled with the rotation rate seem obvious choices for playing a key role in determining coronal characteristics.
