A Study of Automatic Metrics for the Evaluation of Natural Language Explanations
Miruna Clinciu, Arash Eshghi, Helen Hastie
As transparency becomes key for robotics and AI, it will be necessary to evaluate the methods through which transparency is provided, including automatically generated natural lang…
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…
Transfer Learning for British Sign Language Modelling
Boris Mocialov, Graham Turner, Helen Hastie
Automatic speech recognition and spoken dialogue systems have made great advances through the use of deep machine learning methods. This is partly due to greater computing power bu…
Towards Large-Scale Data Mining for Data-Driven Analysis of Sign Languages
Boris Mocialov, Graham Turner, Helen Hastie
Access to sign language data is far from adequate. We show that it is possible to collect the data from social networking services such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube by applyin…
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…
Challenges in Collaborative HRI for Remote Robot Teams
Helen Hastie, David A. Robb, José Lopes +6
Collaboration between human supervisors and remote teams of robots is highly challenging, particularly in high-stakes, distant, hazardous locations, such as off-shore energy platfo…
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…
MIRIAM: A Multimodal Chat-Based Interface for Autonomous Systems
Helen Hastie, Francisco J. Chiyah Garcia, David A. Robb +2
We present MIRIAM (Multimodal Intelligent inteRactIon for Autonomous systeMs), a multimodal interface to support situation awareness of autonomous vehicles through chat-based inter…
The ORCA Hub: Explainable Offshore Robotics through Intelligent Interfaces
Helen Hastie, Katrin Lohan, Mike Chantler +5
We present the UK Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Hub for Offshore Robotics for Certification of Assets (ORCA Hub), a 3.5 year EPSRC funded, multi-site project. The ORCA Hub v…
Explain Yourself: A Natural Language Interface for Scrutable Autonomous Robots
Francisco J. Chiyah Garcia, David A. Robb, Xingkun Liu +3
Autonomous systems in remote locations have a high degree of autonomy and there is a need to explain what they are doing and why in order to increase transparency and maintain trus…
A Review of Evaluation Techniques for Social Dialogue Systems
Amanda Cercas Curry, Helen Hastie, Verena Rieser
In contrast with goal-oriented dialogue, social dialogue has no clear measure of task success. Consequently, evaluation of these systems is notoriously hard. In this paper, we revi…
An Ensemble method for Content Selection for Data-to-text Systems
Dimitra Gkatzia, Helen Hastie
We present a novel approach for automatic report generation from time-series data, in the context of student feedback generation. Our proposed methodology treats content selection…
