Due to the IT and technological development of the 21st century, the development of network culture is more significant. The immaterial production and its transmission through network is increasingly becoming the organizing principle of the global economy and society. The members of the “network society” appearing as a result require the realization of educational application of the new generations' digital life space. The article focuses on presenting education implemented by the edu-coaching method based on a special interrogatory technique. Education implemented with the edu-coaching method supported with ICT devices suit the digital life of generation Z students. A new method, based on the interactive participation of students, with the implementation of augmented learning “adjusted to the life situation” in 3 dimensional virtual space is presented.

Models in the cognitive sciences and AI are typically based on heuristic combinations of soft computing methods — including fuzzy approaches, neural networks and others. It is often difficult, if not completely intractable to apply operations between such models, as they are usually given in different mathematical representations or using different frameworks that may or may not be suitable for their unification. This paper focuses on the TP model transformation, which plays an important role in transforming various model representations to a unified form that fits well with formalised mathematical design concepts. The novelty of the paper is a new extension of the TP model transformation that is capable of transforming a set of models with a different number of inputs. This is in contrast to previous solutions, in which the requirement for all models to have the same number of inputs was a strong limitation.

Computer Sciences (CS) require inventive thinking from computer science experts. CS education has to pay attention on that field of education, too. Universities have to educate programmers for the future where the CS experts need the most important skills of creativity, invention and innovation. These skills can be developed by using virtual reality. In this paper we deal with those techniques that we used for developing the students' skills on creativity and invention. We supposed that the ability to spatially organize learning materials and working documents and collaborative spaces may stimulate creative thinking. In this method we applied the MaxWhere, an immersive virtual reality (iVR) system that gives wide range of possibilities for cooperative and collaborative work. This iVR system provides many means that can be used for activating cognitive processes and improving inventive thinking. This method provided positive results.

In this paper, we aim to predict audience response from simple spoken sequences, speech pauses and co-speech gestures in annotated video-and audio-recorded speeches by Barack Obama at the Annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in 2011 and 2016. At these dinners, the American president mocks himself, his collaborators, political adversary and the press corps making the audience react with cheers, laughter and/or applause. The results of the prediction experiment demonstrate that information about spoken sequences, pauses and co-speech gestures by Obama can be used to predict the immediate audience response. This confirms and shows an application of numerous studies that address the importance of speech pauses and gestures in delivering the discourse message in a successful way. The fact that machine learning algorithms can use information about pauses and gestures to build models of audience reaction is also relevant for the construction of intelligent and cognitively based multimodal ICT.

Geolocation services suffer from low precision in urban environments mainly due to sky occlusion and signal reflections from buildings, which is the key disadvantage of current navigation assistive aids for blind pedestrians. We designed a method that improves reverse geocoding to the level, at which the system can differentiate sides of the street where the blind user is traveling. By implementing a conversational user interface to ask the user about important landmarks and in combination with coarse location and heading, we achieved a usable, accessible and acceptable solution. The number of address points candidates can be reduced by 50 % to those on the corresponding side of the street. A qualitative field study with six visually impaired participants confirmed acceptance by the user group and accessibility and usability of the method.

This paper reports on a preliminary study carried out to examine whether the phoneme classes defined by linguists elicit distinguishable electroencephalographic (EEG) responses from the brain. To this end event-related potentials (ERP) were recorded in response to three-syllabic nonsense words (non-words) with three consonant-vowel transitions (CVCVCV). The first syllable of the non-words being fixed, ERPs were triggered from the onset of the middle syllable, which was established by manually segmenting the non-words at phoneme level. The ERP responses elicited by the second syllable were examined. Nonparametric t-tests were carried out to compare the different ERP responses of the middle syllable. The results show that different ERPs were produced by consonants belonging to different phonemic categories (fricatives, plosives, liquids, nasals and affricates). ERP amplitudes and their scalp distribution differed from each other across non-similar phonetic categories. Consonants from the same phonemic category elicited similar ERP responses. Further, the scalp distributions of the ERP responses were characteristically different for different phoneme classes of consonants. These results suggest that the manner of articulation is an important component of the phonetic representation of consonants in the brain.

We based our work on the MaxWhere Seminar system to present the information and tasks we created and structured in a 3D environment. While working with the MaxWhere software proved to be efficient and innovative for supporting the creation of educational spaces, in this paper we point out some potential future improvements that can further enhance the capabilities of the system for teachers designing educational spaces.
