Decoding Psychological States Through Movement: Inferring Human Kinesic Functions with Application to Built Environments
Cheyu Lin, Katherine A. Flanigan, Sirajum Munir
Social infrastructure and other built environments are increasingly expected to support well-being and community resilience by enabling social interaction. Yet in civil and built-e…
Evaluating Few-Shot Temporal Reasoning of LLMs for Human Activity Prediction in Smart Environments
Maral Doctorarastoo, Katherine A. Flanigan, Mario Bergés +1
Anticipating human activities and their durations is essential in applications such as smart-home automation, simulation-based architectural and urban design, activity-based transp…
Comparative Evaluation of Neural Network Architectures for Generalizable Human Spatial Preference Prediction in Unseen Built Environments
Maral Doctorarastoo, Katherine A. Flanigan, Mario Bergés +1
The capacity to predict human spatial preferences within built environments is instrumental for developing Cyber-Physical-Social Infrastructure Systems (CPSIS). A significant chall…
Transformer-Based Indirect Structural Health Monitoring of Rail Infrastructure with Attention-Driven Detection and Localization of Transient Defects
Sizhe Ma, Katherine A. Flanigan, Mario Bergés +1
Indirect structural health monitoring (iSHM) for broken rail detection using onboard sensors presents a cost-effective paradigm for railway track assessment, yet reliably detecting…
Read the Room: Inferring Social Context Through Dyadic Interaction Recognition in Cyber-physical-social Infrastructure Systems
Cheyu Lin, John Martins, Katherine A. Flanigan +1
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) integrate sensing, computing, and control to improve infrastructure performance, focusing on economic goals like performance and safety. However, they…
From Actions to Kinesics: Extracting Human Psychological States through Bodily Movements
Cheyu Lin, Katherine A. Flanigan
Understanding the dynamic relationship between humans and the built environment is a key challenge in disciplines ranging from environmental psychology to reinforcement learning (R…
