Many lecture recording and presentation systems transmit slides or chalkboard content along with a small video of the instructor. As a result, two areas of the screen are competing for the viewer’s attention, causing the widely known split-attention effect. Face and body gestures, such as pointing, do not appear in the context of the slides or the board. To eliminate this problem, this article ...

What is the relation between human and nonhuman animals? As adults, we construe this relation flexibly, depending in part on the situation at hand. From a biological perspective, we acknowledge the status of humans as one species among many (as in Western science), but at the same time may adopt other perspectives, including an anthropocentric perspective in which human characteristics are attr...

As is customary in economics, the Dasgupta Review on economics of biodiversity adopts an anthropocentric approach: that is, among millions species Earth, accords a moral value to only one species; ours. Building literature ethics, I explain why it morally problematic assume other species—at least, sentient animals—only have instrumental for humans. The defends its approach, but advance counter ...

Framing strongly influences actions among technology proponents and end-users. Underlying much debate about artificial intelligence (AI) are several fundamental shortcomings in its framing. First, discussion of AI is atheoretical, and therefore has limited potential for addressing the complexity of causation. Second, intelligence is considered from an anthropocentric perspective that sees human...

The social brain hypothesis is a well-accepted and well-supported evolutionary theory of enlarged brain size in the non-human primates. Nevertheless, it tends to emphasize an anthropocentric view of social life and cognition. This often leads to confusion between ultimate and proximate mechanisms, and an over-reliance on a Cartesian, narratively structured view of the mind and social life, whic...

Museums today play an important role as a space for learning about science and the world. For this article, phenomenon of human evolution is explored example knowledge production change. Empirical materials on exhibitions were collected from visits to 25 historical natural history museums.
 The empirical are analyzed together with posthuman version evolutionary theory, focus aspects This b...

During the last two decades, we have witnessed an increasing research interest towards what one could call anthropocentric video analysis, namely, algorithms that aim to extract, describe, and organize information regarding the basic element of most videos: humans. This diverse group of algorithms processes videos from various sources (movies, home videos, TV programmes, surveillance videos, et...

After describing the underlying cognitive principles, we wil l introduce the decision representation space and its related notations. We wil l then show the difficulties linked to the search of an optimal representation of the expert strategies set and how the heuristics used by the algorithm studied avoid these NP-complete problems. Finally, the current results and our work perspectives are st...
