Foundation, Architecture and Prototyping of Humanized AI
Humanized AI (HAI), emerging as the next of the AI waves, refers to artificial social beings that are very close to humans in various aspects, beings who are machine-race humans, not digital slaves. Foundation, Architecture, and Prototyping of HAI deploy a novel smalldata approach to vertically explore the spectrum of HAI. Different from the popular big-data philosophy that is based on the rigid notion that the connotation of each concept is fixed and the same to everyone, this book treats understanding as a process from simple to complex, and uses the similarity principle to effectively deal with novelties. Combining the efficiency of the Behaviorists' goal-driven approach and the flexibility of a Constructivists' approach, both the architecture of HAI and the philosophical discussions arising from it are elaborated upon. Advancing a unique approach to the concept of HAI, this book appeals to professors and students of both AI and philosophy, as well as industry professionals looking to stay at the forefront of developments within the field.
Intelligent Infrastructure
With the development of sensor technology, wireless communications, big data, and machine learning, there is an increasing interest in technologies and solutions that assess and predict the state of equipment and assets within various industrial settings. These technologies aim to collect information from multiple sources about infrastructure asset status. Then, through current and historical data analysis, this configuration of technologies delivers intelligence on current and future asset status to a maintenance operator or manager to inform optimal maintenance decision-making. These technologies are known under different terms - remote condition monitoring, e-maintenance, prognostic systems, predictive maintenance, and smart or intelligent infrastructure. Despite the promise of remote condition monitoring and predictive technologies, there is a growing concern with such technologies because they can be difficult or impractical to use. Understanding and mitigating potential human factors issues could ensure that such vast investments are not wasted. This book considers, in depth, the challenges placed on users of current and future condition monitoring systems. Its primary focus is to understand the cognitive processes, including managing alarms, interpreting data, and collaborating with automation. The book describes a range of human factors methods that can be used to understand the current and future functioning of people and technology in an enhanced maintenance and asset monitoring context. The book also presents a framework for describing these issues systematically and presents the resulting design considerations to increase the effectiveness of individual operators and organisations as a whole.

From Narratology to Computational Story Composition and Back
Although both deal with narratives, the two disciplines of Narrative Theory (NT) and Computational Story Composition (CSC) rarely exchange insights and ideas or engage in collaborative research. The former has its roots in the humanities, and attempts to analyze literary texts to derive an understanding of the concept of narrative. The latter is in the domain of Artificial Intelligence, and investigates the autonomous composition of fictional narratives in a way that could be deemed creative. The two disciplines employ different research methodologies at contradistinct levels of abstraction, making simultaneous research difficult, while a close exchange between the two disciplines would undoubtedly be desirable, not least because of the complementary approach to their object of study.This book, From Narratology to Computational Story Composition and Back, describes an exploratory study in generative modeling, a research methodology proposed to address the methodological differences between the two disciplines and allow for simultaneous NT and CSC research. It demonstrates how implementing narratological theories as computational, generative models can lead to insights for NT, and how grounding computational representations of narrative in NT can help CSC systems to take over creative responsibilities. It is the interplay of these two strands that underscores the feasibility and utility of generative modeling. The book is divided into 6 chapters: an introduction, followed by chapters on plot, fictional characters, plot quality estimation, and computational creativity, wrapped up by a conclusion.The book will be of interest to all those working in the fields of narrative theory and computational creativity.

Waterhci
In recent years, there has been an increase in the coming together of interactive technology and water, leading to the emergence of WaterHCI, a distinct subfield of human-computer interaction (HCI). However, there is little work that aims to paint a comprehensive picture of the work around WaterHCI experiences so far, limiting the opportunity to identify directions for future research. This monograph aims to address this through an articulation of prior WaterHCI works structured using two frameworks that aim to offer a better understanding of the design of aquatic experiences through four key user experiences across six different degrees of contact with water. This articulation highlights of underexplored areas that could guide WaterHCI researchers in identifying what to research next in order to bring the field forward as a whole. Ultimately, this work aims to help so that more people can profit from the many benefits that combining interactive technology and water affords.
