Inverse Reinforcement Learning for Micro-Turn Management
"... Existing spoken dialogue systems are typically not de-signed to provide natural interaction since they impose a strict turn-taking regime in which a dialogue consists of interleaved system and user turns. To allow more responsive and natural interaction, this paper describes a system in which turn-t ..."

-taking decisions are taken at a more fine-grained micro-turn level. A decision-theoretic approach is then applied to optimise turn-taking control. Inverse reinforcement learning is used to cap-ture the complex but natural behaviours from human-human di-alogues and optimise interaction without specifying a reward
Indicators for Social and Economic Coping Capacity - Moving Toward a Working Definition of Adaptive Capacity”, Wesleyan-CMU Working Paper.
, 2001
"... Abstract This paper offers a practically motivated method for evaluating systems' abilities to handle external stress. The method is designed to assess the potential contributions of various adaptation options to improving systems' coping capacities by focusing attention directly on the u ..."

Some of the determinants of adaptive capacity should, for example, operate on macro-scales in which national or regional factors play the most significant role, but other determinants should function on more micro scales that are precisely location specific. This will turn out to be a useful

"... In agent-based social simulation, crowd models are used to generate agent behaviors that should correspond closely to human crowds. Despite significant progress in this area, many existing crowd models do not yet account for important cultural factors in crowd behavior, and even more so, for mixed-c ..."

We then quantitatively validate the macro-level predictions of an agent-based simulation utilizing these against data from web-cam movies of human pedestrian crowds

Smart screen management on mobile phones
, 2009
"... Abstract—Large and bright screens on today’s mobile phones account for significant energy demand on phones ’ batteries [14]. In this paper we propose an algorithm that, given the energy profile of the screen, finds the optimal schedule to minimize screen energy dissipation when the phone is idle. We ..."

. We profile the screen energy consumption of two popular smartphones, Nokia N95 and E71, through carefully designed micro-benchmarks. Our energy measurement results suggest that the default screen schedules on these phones are far from optimal- on average our algorithm performs 50 % better than
