The Lab vs The Crowd: An Investigation into Data Quality for Neural Dialogue Models
José Lopes, Francisco J. Chiyah Garcia, Helen Hastie
Challenges around collecting and processing quality data have hampered progress in data-driven dialogue models. Previous approaches are moving away from costly, resource-intensive…
Robots in the Danger Zone: Exploring Public Perception through Engagement
David A. Robb, Muneeb I. Ahmad, Carlo Tiseo +14
Public perceptions of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (RAI) are important in the acceptance, uptake, government regulation and research funding of this technology. Recent rese…
CRWIZ: A Framework for Crowdsourcing Real-Time Wizard-of-Oz Dialogues
Francisco J. Chiyah Garcia, José Lopes, Xingkun Liu +1
Large corpora of task-based and open-domain conversational dialogues are hugely valuable in the field of data-driven dialogue systems. Crowdsourcing platforms, such as Amazon Mecha…
Natural Language Interaction to Facilitate Mental Models of Remote Robots
Francisco J. Chiyah Garcia, José Lopes, Helen Hastie
Increasingly complex and autonomous robots are being deployed in real-world environments with far-reaching consequences. High-stakes scenarios, such as emergency response or offsho…
Towards Self-Explainable Cyber-Physical Systems
Mathias Blumreiter, Joel Greenyer, Francisco Javier Chiyah Garcia +5
With the increasing complexity of CPSs, their behavior and decisions become increasingly difficult to understand and comprehend for users and other stakeholders. Our vision is to b…
A Natural Language Interface with Relayed Acoustic Communications for Improved Command and Control of AUVs
David A. Robb, Jonatan Scharff Willners, Nicolas Valeyrie +6
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are being tasked with increasingly complex missions. The acoustic communications required for AUVs are, by the nature of the medium, low bandw…
