We present an analytical framework aimed at predicting the local brain activity of individuals during a conversation with another human or a humanoid robot based on multimodal recordings of their behavior. In this framework, we first extract high-level features from the raw behavioral recordings of both interlocutors. Then, classifiers are applied ...
In order to perform isogeometric analysis with increased smoothness on complex domains, trimming, variational coupling or unstructured spline methods can be used. The latter two classes of methods require a multi-patch segmentation of the domain, and provide continuous bases along patch interfaces. In the context of shell modeling, variational meth...
Introduction: This exploratory study aims to participate in the development of the VR framework by focusing on the issue of cybersickness. The main objective is to explore the possibilities of predicting cybersickness using i) field dependence-independence measures and ii) head rotations data through automatic analyses. The second objective is to a...
While various combinations of business ecosystems (desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile, smartwatch, and TV) and platforms (apps, websites, and social media pages) can be used to shop online, little is known about consumers' preferences to choose one over another. The user experience on each eco-touchpoint and eco-channel is not the same. By comparing f...
Depuis de nombreuses années, la formation en Odontologie utilise le simulateur conventionnel appelé « fantôme ». Plus récemment, des simulateurs associant réalité virtuelle et retours haptiques sont apparus comme des outils complémentaires à la simulation conventionnelle afin de contribuer à la formation préclinique des étudiants. Cette technologie...
Artist area versus numerical cluster. Between land management and production of new creative space: the Poblenou 22@ in Barcelona. Poblenou (or the new village in Catalan) is a district of Barcelona known for over ten years urban regeneration based on the concept of the new economics of ICT (Information and Communications Technology) as a source of...
The Relational to RDF Mapping Language (R2RML) became a W3C Recommendation a decade ago. Despite its wide adoption, its potential applicability beyond relational databases was swiftly explored. As a result, several extensions and new mapping languages were proposed to tackle the limitations that surfaced as R2RML was applied in real-world use cases...
Sampling-based Approximate Query Processing (S-AQP) has many important use cases for RDF, including computing large-scale statistics, embeddings, join orderings, approximate aggregations, summaries, and exploratory queries. However, current SPARQL endpoints have no support for S-AQP, and many queries just time out on public SPARQL endpoints. In thi...
As the user base becomes increasingly diverse, it is crucial to provide better development support for creating interactive systems that adapt to the varied characteristics and needs of their users. A deep understanding of user mindset and awareness is essential for achieving this goal. User-centred design approaches and a strong link between human...
