This paper, presents an adapted serious game for rating social ability in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The required measurements are obtained by challenges of the proposed serious game. The proposed serious game uses reinforcement learning concepts for being adaptive. It is based on fuzzy logic to evaluate the social ability level of the children with ASD. The game adapts itsel...

We introduce a method for improving facial attribute predictions using other attributes. In the domain of face recognition and verification, attributes are high-level descriptions of face images. Attributes are very useful for identification as well as image search as they provide easily understandable descriptions of faces, rather than most other image descriptors (i.e. HOG, LBP, and SIFT). A ...

In this study, we present a computational approach to support content creation by recording and reusing the conversational contents as reusable nuggets. We introduce the concept of the conversation quantization a technique for approximating a continuous flow of conversation by a series of conversation quanta that correspond to the points in a discourse. We describe the creation of contents usin...

The quality of daily spontaneous conversations is importance towards both our well-being as well the development interactive social agents.
