How Humans Adapt
نویسندگان
چکیده
"This ancient pattern of restrained reproduction appears optimal for the production of healthy, intelligent young. A return to such a pattern after nearly 10,000 years of high fertility is not in opposition to human nature or reproductive biology. It would, in fact, be most compatible with the patterns of parental investment and reproductive biology shaped by millions of years of evolutionary history." Jane Lancaster

Do Humans Adapt Their Emails So That Agents Can Understand?
Natural language processing is a difficult problem and is currently a technical barrier in building personal assistant agents that aim to interact with humans in natural language. One possible solution is to rely on humans to restrict or adapt their language into more computer friendly ways. We study the feasibility of this approach in the context of a personal assistant agent that parses email...
متن کاملAGILE Workshop on Adaptation in Spatial Communication
When conveying information about spatial situations and goals, speakers adapt flexibly to their addressee. Our aim is to equip our dialogue system with the communicative abilities required for such a natural, adaptive dialogue. In this paper we investigate how humans react to other humans and to a dialogue system when giving route descriptions with a map. We focus on two aspects of spatial lang...
متن کاملThe Four Levels of Requirements Engineering for and in Dynamic Adaptive Systems
This paper argues that there are four levels of requirements engineering for and in a dynamic adaptive system: (1) by humans, for the general behavior of the system, (2) by the system itself, whenever it is adapting based on changes to its input, (3) by humans, to decide when, how, and where the system is to adapt, and (4) by humans, doing research about adaptive systems.
متن کاملLice, Humans, and Microbes
Lice are small, wingless, minor ectoparasites of mammals and birds. More than 540 blood-sucking lice (Phthiraptera: Anoplura) have been described with each host having its own type of louse, suggesting the cospeciation of the lice species with their host. Among these, two lice species from two different genera infest humans: Pediculus humanus and Phthirus pubis (pubic “crab” l...
متن کاملTowards a continuous modeling of natural language domains
Humans continuously adapt their style and language to a variety of domains. However, a reliable definition of ‘domain’ has eluded researchers thus far. Additionally, the notion of discrete domains stands in contrast to the multiplicity of heterogeneous domains that humans navigate, many of which overlap. In order to better understand the change and variation of human language, we draw on resear...
متن کاملDeveloping Educational and Entertaining Virtual Humans Using Elckerlyc
Virtual humans (VHs) are used in many educational and entertainment settings: training and serious gaming, interactive information kiosks, tour guides, tutoring, interactive virtual dancers, and much more. Building a complete VH from scratch is a daunting task, and it makes sense to rely on existing platforms. However, when one builds a novel interactive VH application, one needs to be able to ...
