Pervasive Data Science: New Challenges at the Intersection of Data Science and Pervasive Computing

Technology is increasingly enabling us to instrument our physical environment with complex sensors and actuators, creating a connected world that generates huge volumes of complex data. In this article we describe a number of opportunities and challenges that this new data-rich world brings to pervasive computing and highlight the emergence of a new field of pervasive data science.

Estimation of Gas Mixture Compressibility Factor and Viscosity based on AI and Experimental DataEstimation of Gas Mixture Compressibility Factor and Viscosity based on AI and Experimental Data

Compressibility factor and viscosity of natural gasses are of great importance in petroleum and chemical engineering. To calculate the natural gas properties in the pipelines, storage systems and reservoirs, the exact values of gas compressibility factor and viscosity are required. A new method that allows accurate determination of compressibility factor and gas viscosity for all types of: swee...

Natural Logic in AI and Cognitive Science

This paper presents an ongoing research project called “natural logic” and makes the case that it is relevant to AI, Computational Linguistics, and Cognitive Science. We propose to add some of the natural logic modules which have already been developed to existing NLP systems. We see our approach as complementing and augmenting data-driven approaches exemplified by IBM’s Watson. We give a brief...

Teaching AI Ethics Using Science Fiction

The cultural and political implications of modern AI research are not some far off concern, they are things that affect the world in the here and now. From advanced control systems with advanced visualizations and image processing techniques that drive the machines of the modern military to the slow creep of a mechanized workforce, ethical questions surround us. Part of dealing with these ethic...
