Humans can quickly recognize objects in a dynamically changing world. This ability is showcased by the fact that observers succeed at recognizing rapidly image sequences, up to 13 ms/image. To date, mechanisms govern dynamic object recognition remain poorly understood. Here, we developed deep learning models for and compared different computational mechanisms, contrasting feedforward recurrent, single-image sequential processing as well forms of adaptation. We found only integrate images...
We introduce the Alternating Reading Task (ART) Corpus, a collection of dyadic sentence reading for studying entrainment and imitation behaviour in speech communication. The ART corpus features three experimental conditions - solo reading, alternating deliberate as well sub-corpora encompassing French-, Italian-, Slovak-accented English. This design allows systematic investigation controlled less-spontaneous setting. Alongside detailed transcriptions, it includes English proficiency scores,...
Intergroup dynamics shape the ways in which we interact with other people. We feel more empathy towards ingroup members compared to outgroup members, and can even pleasure when an member experiences misfortune, known as schadenfreude. Here, test extent these intergroup biases emerge during interactions robots. measured trial-by-trial fluctuations emotional reactivity outcome of a competitive reaction time game assess both schadenfreude arbitrary human-human human-robot teams.

Phonetic convergence describes the automatic and unconscious speech adaptation of two interlocutors in a conversation.This paper proposes Siamese recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture to measure holistic spectral characteristics sounds an L2-L2 interaction.We extend alternating reading task (the ART) dataset by adding 20 native Slovak L2 English speakers.We train test RNN model phonetic from three different language groups: Italian (9 dyads), French (10 dyads) dyads).Our results...
