Nicki Washington, a Duke University professor, has been recognized by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) for her exceptional commitment to diversifying the computing community. Her mentoring programs have led to increased student success and career opportunities.
Researchers achieved near-perfect accuracy in detecting Parkinson's disease by analyzing brain responses to emotional situations. The study identified distinct patterns in how patients processed emotions, enabling accurate differentiation between patients and healthy controls.
A comprehensive framework for developing embodied agents is proposed to improve human-agent interactions. The integration of nine components aims to facilitate longer interactions by assessing users' goals, mental states, and interrelationships.
A Chinese research team introduced a novel two-stage framework using stacked transformers for multimodal sentiment analysis, improving the analysis of emotions expressed through modality combinations. The framework was tested on three open datasets and performed better than or as well as benchmark models.
The review of affective computing highlights recent advancements and future trends in emotion perception, recognition, and response. Key findings include the growing publication volume in the field, with China leading the way, as well as emerging trends like multimodal fusion and knowledge-driven approaches.
A Lancaster University academic argues that AI and algorithms contribute to polarization, radicalism, and political violence, posing a threat to national security. The paper examines how AI has been securitized throughout its history, highlighting the need for better understanding and management of its risks.
Researchers found high sympathetic activation while working, regardless of deadlines, but factors like smartphone use and reading/writing can exacerbate this. The study revealed that researchers instinctively adjust break frequency to regulate stress, providing fresh insights into their behaviors.
Researchers achieved optical switching of a light signal at attosecond speeds, exceeding data transfer speeds by 1 million times. This breakthrough enables the development of ultrafast optical electronics and could increase data processing speed in long-distance communications.
Researchers developed a new reading method for SOT-RAMs that can nullify the readout disturbance, reducing it by at least 10 times. The method involves creating a bi-directional read path, cancelling out the disturbances produced by spin currents.
