Based on these findings I will present focus shift analysis as a method for analyzing complex interaction, and discuss how the use of speech commands within the operating theatre are able to address some of the breakdown found with the focus shift analysis.

Computerized Adaptive Student Help: Experiments in Low-Cost Artificially Intelligent Automation of Student-Tutor Interaction

The lessons attained from research in artificially intelligent learning systems demonstrate the complexity in their attempts to learn either broad categories of knowledge or explicit tasks and skills that require extensive use of resources. This paper describes an investigation into some energy effective and lowcost approaches to developing lightweight artificially intelligent learning systems ...
