Exploratory Model Analysis Using Data-Driven Neuron Representations

by ToyodaMasashiProjects 2022年10月7日No Comments

Probing classifiers have been extensively used to inspect whether a model component captures specific linguistic phenomena. This top-down approach is, however, costly when we have no probable hypothesis on the association between the target model component and phenomena. In this study, aiming to provide a flexible, exploratory analysis of a neural model at various levels …

To prevent and curb viral outbreaks such as COVID-19, it is important to increase vaccination coverage whileresolving vaccine hesitancy and refusal. To understand why COVID-19 vaccination coverage had rapidly increased in Japan, we analyzed Twitter posts (tweets) to examine the evolution of people’s stance on vaccination and clarify the factors of why people decide to …

Personal Semantic Variations in Word Meanings

by ToyodaMasashiProjects 2022年10月5日2022年10月5日No Comments

When people verbalize what they have felt with different sensory functions, they often represent different meanings such as with temperature range using the same word cold or the same meaning by using different words (e.g., hazy and cloudy). These interpersonal variations in word meanings have the effects of not only preventing people from communicating efficiently …

Boomshin

by NakanishiYasutoProjects 2022年9月27日No Comments

We proposed “Boomshin”, which uses an encounter-type tactile display to temporally switch between the presence and absence of tactile presentation of objects in space. We named the objects without tactile presentation as “Boomshin” and evaluated changes in the impression of the game experience by using the temporal appearance patterns of both as independent variables. The …

With the spread of virtual reality (VR) attractions, vector generation techniques that enhance the sense of realism are gaining attention. Additionally, mixed reality (MR) at- tractions, which overlay VR onto a real-world display, are expected to become more prevalent in the future. However, with MR, it is impossible to move all the coordinates of the …

AmplifiedCoaster

We are developing furniture robots and playground robots in our laboratory. We would like to create space of the future where robots appear in a large parking lot or playground and generate a new park or amusement park. 　Each member of our team has been working on each robot, but we have never seen them …

Furnituroid #1, BarLight

by NakanishiYasutoProjects 2022年9月27日2022年9月27日No Comments

We introduced our furniture robot at ACM/IEEE HRI2022, and the paper title is “Furnituroid: Shape-Changing Mobile Furniture Robot for Multiple and Dynamic Affordances”. We proposed a design approach named as “Furnituroid”, and described the concept and the design space.It is a shape-changing mobile furniture robot and the first instance “Barlight” was unveiled.
