Recently, we gave a new perspective of Web Intelligence (WI) research from the viewpoint of Brain Informatics (BI), a new interdisciplinary field that studies the mechanisms of human information processing from both the macro and micro viewpoints by combining experimental cognitive neuroscience with advanced information technology [18]. We argue that new instruments like fMRI and information te...

Intelligence plays a significant role in biological life’s survival and prosperity. Similar role of intelligence is found in organizations. As the society progresses from the industrial age to the information age, creating, nurturing, and adapting organizational intelligence have become increasingly important. The proposed research will lead to a framework of integrating advanced information te...

Artificial Intelligence techniques and tools have been applied to Assistive Technologies (AT) in order to support elder or impeded people on their daily activities. A common application are intelligent pill dispensers and reminders that help the patient comply with his medication. This has become even more important, as patients suffering from multiple pathologies are prescribed cocktails of dr...

This paper reviews and integrates research that would be necessary to develop an AIED system able to detect and then appropriately react to an affective state of a learner. It addresses the nature of affect, methods to automatically detect affect, as well as the interplay between affect and learning-related cognition, and affective strategies that promote quality learning.

Computational interpretation of social scenarios is a critical step towards more human-like artificial intelligence. We present a model that interprets social scenarios by deducing the affinities of the constituent relationships. First, our model deploys Bayesian inference with an action affinity lexicon to infer probabilistic affinity relations characterizing the scenario. Subsequently, our mo...

To provide an answer to the potential challenges of technology trends with regard to user-system interaction, the vision of Ambient Intelligence is introduced. By positioning human needs in the center of technology developments, Ambient Intelligence requires interactive systems to be personalized, context-aware, adaptive and anticipatory. Two examples of such systems and their need for end-user...
