Ms. robot will be teaching you: Robot lecturers in four modes of automated remote instruction (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, J., & Ju, W. (2016, March). Ms. robot will be teaching you: Robot lecturers in four modes of automated remote instruction. Presented at AAAI Spring Symposium - Technical Report, Palo Alto, USA

Methods and materials are described for employing a human-shaped robot as a lecturer in automated remote instruction. Video segments from the stimuli of a 2 (participant substrate: VR or non-VR) x 2 (robot embodiment: copresent or screen) balanced be...

Training an adaptive dialogue policy for interactive learning of visually grounded word meanings (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yu, Y., Eshghi, A., & Lemon, O. (2016, September). Training an adaptive dialogue policy for interactive learning of visually grounded word meanings. Presented at 17th Annual Meeting of the Special Interest Group on Discourse and Dialogue, Los Angeles, US

We present a multi-modal dialogue system for interactive learning of perceptually grounded word meanings from a human tutor. The system integrates an incremental, semantic parsing/generation framework - Dynamic Syntax and Type Theory with Records (DS...

An Incremental Dialogue System for Learning Visually Grounded Language (demonstration system) (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yu, Y., Eshghi, A., & Lemon, O. (2016). An Incremental Dialogue System for Learning Visually Grounded Language (demonstration system). In Proceedings of the 20th Workshop on the Semantics and Pragmatics of Dialogue (120-121)

We present a multi-modal dialogue system for interactive learning of perceptually grounded word meanings from a human tutor. The system integrates an incremental, semantic, and bi-directional grammar framework – Dynamic Syntax and Type Theory with Re...

Comparing dialogue strategies for learning grounded language from human tutors (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yu, Y., Lemon, O., & Eshghi, A. (2016). Comparing dialogue strategies for learning grounded language from human tutors. In Proceedings of the 20th Workshop on the Semantics and Pragmatics of Dialogue (44-54)

We address the problem of interactively learning perceptually grounded word meanings in a multimodal dialogue system. Human tutors can correct, question, and confirm the statements of a dialogue agent which is trying to interactively learn the meanin...

Core-selecting payment rules for combinatorial auctions with uncertain availability of goods (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Moor, D., Seuken, S., Grubenmann, T., & Bernstein, A. (2016, July). Core-selecting payment rules for combinatorial auctions with uncertain availability of goods. Presented at Twenty-Fifth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, New York

In some auction domains, there is uncertainty regarding the final availability of the goods being auctioned off. For example, a government may auction off spectrum from its public safety network, but it may need this spectrum back in times of emergen...

An Energy-Aware Embedding Algorithm for Virtual Data Centers (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nam, T. M., Huynh, N. V., Dai, L. Q., & Thanh, N. H. (2016). An Energy-Aware Embedding Algorithm for Virtual Data Centers. In 2016 28th International Teletraffic Congress (ITC 28). https://doi.org/10.1109/itc-28.2016.112

Cloud computing has emerged in the recent years as a promising paradigm that facilitates such new service models as Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). As the number of cloud service prov... Read More about An Energy-Aware Embedding Algorithm for Virtual Data Centers.

An Experimental Investigation into Passive Temperature Regulation of a Novel WICPV System with Phase Change Material (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sharma, S., Sellami, N., Tahir, A., & Mallick, T. (2016, June). An Experimental Investigation into Passive Temperature Regulation of a Novel WICPV System with Phase Change Material. Presented at 32nd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition, Munich, Germany

A novel Window-Integrated Concentrated Photovoltaic (WICPV) system proposed suitable for window integration, has been fabricated and characterised at 1000 Wm-2 (higher irradiance)and 500 Wm-2 (lower irradiance). This paper investigates the use of a c... Read More about An Experimental Investigation into Passive Temperature Regulation of a Novel WICPV System with Phase Change Material.

Experimental and numerical investigation of thermal performance of a crossed compound parabolic concentrator with PV cell (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, W., Paul, M., Sellami, N., Mallick, T., & Knox, A. (2016, July). Experimental and numerical investigation of thermal performance of a crossed compound parabolic concentrator with PV cell. Presented at 12th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Malaga, Spain

Crossed compound parabolic concentrator (CCPC) is a solar energy device used to increase the photovoltaic (PV) cell electrical power output. CCPC’s thermal and optical performance issues are equally important for a PV cell or module to work under a f...
