  1. 21. In search of known unknowns : an empirical investigation of the peripety of a knowledge management system

    Författare :Leon Michael Caesarius; Jan Lindvall; Lars Engwall; Jannis Kallinikos; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; knowledge management systems; knowledge management endeavours; knowledge management; knowledge; knowledge creation; information technology; automating; informating; Business studies; Företagsekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : In their quest to secure their level of competitiveness, organizations have turned their attention to a specific type of information technology (IT) solution referred to as knowledge management systems (KMS). Research recurrently views and defines such system as IT-tools that mainly enable the collection, storing and diffusion of knowledge within the boundaries of the organization. LÄS MER

  3. 22. MECHATRONIC METAPHORS : An embodied realist framework of complexity and expertise in mechatronic project work

    Författare :Elias Flening; Martin Grimheden; Anna Jerbrant; David Bradley; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Sammanfattning : Utvecklingsprojekt inom mekatronik innehåller höga nivåer av komplexitet och kräver expertis i samma utsträckning för att hantera denna. I och med globalt minskande produktivitetsvinster från ingenjörsarbete samt ”outtrassliga” (wicked) problem i utvecklingen av mekatroniska system – med sedan länge rapporterade utmaningar så som brist på gemensam systemförståelse, avsaknad av gemensamt språk för koncept, och disparata mentala modeller – så blir det kritiskt att förstå de faktiskt gällande uppfattningar av komplexitet och kompetens inom utvecklingsprojekt.

  4. 23. Developing and evaluating co-speech gesture-synthesis models for embodied conversational agents

    Författare :Taras Kucherenko; Hedvig Kjellström; Gustav Eje Henter; Iolanda Leite; Jonas Beskow; Stefan Kopp; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human-agent interaction; gesture generation; social robotics; conversational agents; non-verbal behavior; deep learning; machine learning; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Sammanfattning :  A  large part of our communication is non-verbal:   humans use non-verbal behaviors to express various aspects of our state or intent.  Embodied artificial agents, such as virtual avatars or robots, should also use non-verbal behavior for efficient and pleasant interaction.

  5. 24. How hands shape the mind : The P400 as an index of manual actions and gesture perception

    Författare :Marta Bakker; Gustaf Gredebäck; Amy Needham; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :goal-directed actions; action processing; EEG; ERP; P400; gestures; grasping; embodiment; social development; give-me gesture; dynamic system theory; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Being able to perform and understand actions is crucial for proper functioning in the social world. From birth, we use our bodies to act and to promote learning about ourselves, our environment and other people’s actions and intentions. Our mind is embodied; thus, our actions play a crucial role in cognitive and social development. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Talking Heads - Models and Applications for Multimodal Speech Synthesis

    Författare :Jonas Beskow; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Talking heads; facial animation; speech synthesis; coarticulation; intelligibility; embodied conversational agents;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents work in the area of computer-animatedtalking heads. A system for multimodal speech synthesis hasbeen developed, capable of generating audiovisual speechanimations from arbitrary text, using parametrically controlled3D models of the face and head. LÄS MER
