In a conversational system, determining a user’s focus of attention is crucial to the success of the system. Motivated by previous psycholinguistic findings, we are currently examining how eye gaze contributes to automated identification of user attention during humanmachine conversation. As part of this effort, we investigate the contributing roles of various features that are extracted from e...

Cultural theory elucidates conflicting opinions driving the climate change debate. Patterns of shared values and beliefs are described as cultural biases. These partial perspectives about society and environment legitimize four ways of life worldviews. This research tests whether cultural biases about the environment have the same structure as those about society to clarify their role in climat...

Ice sheets appeared in the northern hemisphere around 3 Ma (million years) ago and glacial-interglacial cycles have paced Earth's climate since then. Superimposed on these long glacial cycles comes an intricate pattern of millennial and sub-millennial variability, including Dansgaard-Oeschger and Heinrich events. There are numerous theories about these oscillations. Here, we review a number of ...
