This paper describes a vision-based computational model of mind-reading that infers complex mental states from head and facial expressions in real-time. The generalization ability of the system is evaluated on videos that were posed by lay people in a relatively uncontrolled recording environment for six mental states—agreeing, concentrating, disagreeing, interested, thinking and unsure.

While this was already true when the first edition of this book was written, the confusions have now reached monumental proportions, with leading theorists even disagreeing as to what should proper...

We analyze traffic data from a highway section containing one effective on-ramp. Based on two criteria, local velocity variation patterns and expansion (or nonexpansion) of congested regions, three distinct congested traffic states are identified. These states appear at different levels of the upstream flux and the on-ramp flux, thereby generating a phase digram of the congested traffic flow. O...

Recent literature on disagreement has focused on certain questions about epistemic compromise: when you find...
