Jedinci se zrakovým postižením potřebují specifické nástroje k získávání prostorových informací o prostředí, ve kterém se potřebují zorientovat, jako jsou například jednotlivá podlaží domů. Tento typ znalostí se kolektivně nazývá kognitivní mapa prostředí a skládá se z několika komponent (orientační body, vzdálenosti, směry, cesty atp.). Různé inte...
Infrastructure lifecycle management requires interactions with dynamic datasets. Traditional interfaces often hinder users’ ability to rapidly locate lifecycle-specific information they need. Our work proposes ChatTwin, a system that employs Large Language Models (LLMs) to enable natural language queries related to various lifecycle stages of infra...
