A chess game is very popular also for visually impaired players. To some extent we can see similarities to blindfold chess game of sighted players. However blindfold chess is played by master players only. Thus blind beginners are facing demanding conditions for playing chess. We started with initial observation of a game play of blind chess players and indicated signs of using mental images, limits in learning efficient chess play, or accessibility problems. We extracted 114 findings from the semi-structured interviews conducted with 5 blind advanced chess players. Based on these findings we propose directions for future research and development.

This paper deals with speech pauses marking clause boundaries and the gestures which co-occur with them in an audio- and video-recorded corpus of first encounters. The paper also investigates whether information about gestures co-occurring with speech contributes to the automatic prediction of the clause boundary pauses. Since one clause corresponds to one or more semantic units (dialog acts) the pauses investigated mark the start and end of large semantic units. The results of my study indicate that pauses that mark clause boundaries, co-occur with all gesture types in the analyzed corpus. Finally, my automatic prediction experiments show that information about speech tokens preceding the pauses can predict their function as clause boundary markers with high precision and recall, while information about the gestures co-occurring with speech (head movements, facial expressions, and body postures) does not contribute to the prediction.

HRI studies investigating human-robot interactions in mixed initiative teams typically only look at macro-level behaviors. Yet, an investigation of micro-level behaviors such as eye gaze fixations, attentional shifts, communicative acts, and others is often necessary in order to determine the exact influence of robot behaviors on human cognitive processes. In this paper, we report the first results from several novel analyses of micro-level behaviors obtained from video and audio recordings from previous HRI team studies. The analyses focus on the effects of both robot embodiment and affect expression in the robot's voice on the human's verbal behavior and allocation of attention. The findings show complex relationships among all factors that have to be better understood to improve team performance.

The paper gives an introduction about the knowledge-based process management. First it introduces the related theoretical and practical background and then it gives a an analysis about the business processes and the connected human interactions. As an infocommunication-aspect it provides a practical guideline about the current behavior of the human entities what might help the cognitive sciences to understand the human driven events from a different perspective.

A new approach for lightweight video-based object recognition is introduced where a user moves a camera around a target object of interest. The extraction of image features and the retrieval algorithm is running in a lightweight mobile computer (tablet or phone). We apply a view based model of the objects and the matching of the query and candidate images is based on compact image descriptors coupled with relative orientation.

This paper outlines the recognition process of road types and its influence on speed choice. The appearance and spreading of the term "cognitive infocommunications" led the authors to rethink some of their earlier work from the cognitive perspective. In order to assess the recognition of road types and speed choice a picture sorting exercise and an on-line speed choice survey was completed. Limitations and extensions of the method are also considered.

This part of the paper first deals with some methodological problems of the possible identification of special patterns in the hypothetical evolution of the broadening reflective consciousness ("collective individuation") related to the spiritual history of the 11th century. Furthermore, we intend to present some hypothetical important episodes of the process of the development of the consciousness, the collective individuation with partial interpretation of Pauli's Regiomontanus dream and subsequent famous dream series of 1954-1956, by their interpretation as a long run cognitive process.

This paper discusses the empirical identification of hypothetical unconscious creative processes of collective individuation on the basis of Pauli-Jung "World-Clock" interpretations comparing them with their historical ante-descents starting from the "revolutionary" double rotating Sephirotic (partly astronomical partly pleromatic `World-Clocklike') circles as "models" of the Book Bahir and the Royal Mirror of St Stephen. According to our Jungian depth-psychological hypothesis the latter can identify the significant broadening of the creative reflective consciousness.

The goal of this paper is to give a demonstrative example for introducing the benefits of the FRIQ-learning (Fuzzy Rule Interpolation-based Q-learning) versus the traditional discrete Q-learning. The chosen example is an easily scalable discrete state and discrete action space task the Maze problem. The main difference of the two studied reinforcement learning methods, that the traditional Q-learning has discrete state, action and Q-function representation. While the FRIQ-learning has continuous state, action space and a Fuzzy Rule Interpolation based Q-function representation. For comparing the convergence speed of the two methods, both will start from an empty knowledge base, zero Q-table for the Q-learning and empty rule-base for the FRIQ-learning and following the same policy stops at the same performance condition. In the example of the paper the Maze problem will be studied in different obstacle configurations and different scaling.

In this work, we present and evaluate a novel ambient information display that is designed to provide unobtrusive yet engaging feedback. The basis of this display is a natural, living plant, which is augmented in several ways to enable it to indicate information in various different ways. We describe the design and the construction of the InfoPlant, discuss its different modalities and present two demonstrator systems, including a novel eco-feedback display. A subsequent study showed that the InfoPlant was indeed perceived as unobtrusive by the large majority of participants and that it was easily accepted as a possible new entity in a living-room context. Also, the provided feedback was assessed as generally very helpful and that it would make users aware of their resource consumption and could have an influence on their consumption behavior.
