“C’mon – You Should Read This”: Automatic Identification of Tone from Languag...Waqas Tariq
Information extraction researchers have recently recognized that more subtle information beyond the basic semantic content of a message can be communicated via linguistic features in text, such as sentiments, emotions, perspectives, and intentions. One way to describe this information is that it represents something about the generator’s mental state, which is often interpreted as the tone of the message. A current technical barrier to developing a general-purpose tone identification system is the lack of reliable training data, with messages annotated with the message tone. We first describe a method for creating the necessary annotated data using human-based computation, based on interactive games between humans trying to generate and interpret messages conveying different tones. This draws on the use of game with a purpose methods from computer science and wisdom of the crowds methods from cognitive science. We then demonstrate the utility of this kind of database and the advantage of human-based computation by examining the performance of two machine learning classifiers trained on the database, each of which uses only shallow linguistic features. Though we already find near-human levels of performance with one classifier, we also suggest more sophisticated linguistic features and alternate implementations for the database that may improve tone identification results further.
Multi Robot User Interface Design Based On HCI PrinciplesWaqas Tariq
Robot User Interface (RUI) refers to a specialized User Interface (UI) that intrinsically supplements the virtual access phenomenon of human operators with robots working in complex and challenging scenarios such as rescue missions. The very nature of complexity and attributed information overload can potentially cause significant threat to survivor’s life expectancy, especially when the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) has to play its optimal role. Keeping in view the seriousness of scenario and associated complexities, the current UI problems are firstly highlighted in RUIs. Afterwards, the surfaced UI design issues are tackled through application of established heuristics and design elements. A new interface is designed based on the design heuristics. This newly developed RUI has been tested on the available autonomous rescue robot, GETbot. The usability evaluation and heuristic based evaluation principles are applied in greater depth to establish marked improvement in UI design, with reference to its previously faced usability issues.
