Mutual gaze is important to social interaction, and can also facilitate task performance. Previous work has assumed that staring at someone maximises mutual gaze. Eye-tracking is used to explore this claim, along with the relationship between mutual gaze and task performance. Two participants – Instruction Giver (IG) and Instruction Follower (IF) – communicated via avatars in Second Life to sol...

This study investigated the impact of synchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC) mode and familiarity with partners on learner engagement in second-language task-based interaction, whether is linked to subsequent joint-written-text quality. Ninety-eight Vietnamese learners English were assigned into (±) familiar groups performed a picture-sequencing tasks 2 SCMC modes (i.e., video text ...

Fairness and efficiency are important aspects that influence cooperation in social dilemmas. During a repeated interaction, they have the potential to serve as competing goals for the decision maker. The ability to balance between fairness and efficiency depends, among other things, on available information regarding mutual accountability for the outcomes in an interaction. In this paper, we ex...

Copyright held by authors, 2015 Abstract We introduce the notion of mutual action and intention recognition in human interaction with autonomous vehicles, highlighting its relevance in successful autonomous vehicle UX. We also discuss insights and methodologies from theories of embodied cognition and social interaction relevant to these concepts. The work presented here is part of a new Swedish...

Recently, batch-mode active learning has attracted a lot of attention. In this paper, we propose a novel batch-mode active learning approach that selects a batch of queries in each iteration by maximizing a natural mutual information criterion between the labeled and unlabeled instances. By employing a Gaussian process framework, this mutual information based instance selection problem can be f...

Interlayer excitons are bound states of electrons and holes confined in separate two-dimensional layers. Due to their repulsive dipolar interaction, interlayer can form a correlated liquid. If another electron-hole bilayer is present, from different bilayers exhibit mutual attraction. We study such quadrilayer system by hypernetted chain formalism. compute ground-state energies, pair correlatio...
