Acoustically Focused Oceanographic Sampling in Coastal Environments

A new oceanographic measurement concept, Acousti-cally Focused Ocean Sampling-AFOS, is presented, combining a tomographic network with small autonomous underwater vehicles. Using wireless local area network technology, the acoustic tomography data are recorded and processed in real time for achieving a low-resolution estimate of oceanographic parameters. The results are used to focus direct mea...

Object-Focused Advice in Reinforcement Learning

In order for robots and intelligent agents to interact with and learn from people with no machine-learning expertise, robots should be able to learn from natural human instruction. Many human explanations consist of simple sentences without state information, yet most machine learning techniques that incorporate human guidance cannot use nonspecific explanations. This work aims to learn policie...

Object-Focused Interaction in e-Social Science

Distributed scientific work is receiving widespread attention from computer science developers within the e-Science programme. With notable exceptions less attention has been paid to how, in practice, collaboration support across the grid might play out in everyday scientific and analytic work. Drawing on a specific thread of research in Computer-Supported Cooperative Work we note how models of...
