Lessons Learned from Designing and Evaluating CLAICA
A Continuously Learning AI Cognitive Assistant
Learning to operate a complex system, such as an agile production line, can be a daunting task. The high variability in products and frequent reconfigurations make it difficult to keep documentation up-to-date and share new knowledge amongst factory workers. We introduce CLAIC ...
Emoji have become an essential part of modern communication, helping to convey emotions and tone quickly and concisely. Emoji used by humans and Intelligent Agents (IA) have been shown to affect people’s decision making intentions, suggesting they could be used to manipulate u ...
Many industries are facing the challenge of how to capture workers' knowledge such that it can be shared, in particular tacit knowledge. The operation of complex systems such as a manufacturing line is knowledge-intensive, especially if the operator must frequently reconfigure ...
Many industries face the challenge of capturing workers' knowledge to share it, particularly tacit knowledge. The operation of complex systems such as a manufacturing line is knowledge-intensive. Considering this knowledge's breadth and dynamic nature, existing knowledge-shari ...
As agile manufacturing expands and workforce mobility increases, the importance of efficient knowledge transfer among factory workers grows. Cognitive Assistants (CAs) with Large Language Models (LLMs), like GPT-3.5, can bridge knowledge gaps and improve worker performance in ...

Investigating User Preferences for Assignment of Divergent Phrasing Learning Burden in Human-Agent Interaction to Minimize Conversational Breakdowns
Conversational agents (CA) occasionally fail to understand the user's intention or respond inappropriately due to natural language complexity. These conversational breakdowns can happen because of low intent and entity prediction confidence scores. A promising repair strategy ...
Maintaining a complex system, such as a modern production line, is a knowledge-intensive task. Many firms use maintenance reports as a decision support tool. However, reports are often poor quality and tedious to compile. A Conversational User Interface (CUI) could streamline ...

Tailored family adaptation to living in a zero-energy house
Occupant’s crises and conflicts with a heat pump-based system
This project belongs to the IEBB project, which advocates for the renovation of ‘zero energy houses’ (ZEH) that synergize insulation and heat pump systems for energy conservation. The ZEH’s energy-saving efficiency depends on user behaviour. From a systems perspect ...
