Probabilistic word association for dialogue act classification with recurrent neural networks (2018)
Book Chapter

The identification of Dialogue Acts (DA) is an important aspect in determining the meaning of an utterance for many applications that require natural language understanding, and recent work using recurrent neural networks (RNN) has shown promising re...

A modal logic analysis of a line-following robot (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018. The behaviour of a reactive, line-following robot is analysed using modal logic. This provides an approach that is complementary to numerical simulation, allowing us to explore the... Read More about A modal logic analysis of a line-following robot.

Understanding learning strategy as conversation (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The goal of this research is to understand the learning strategies employed by students using so called Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS), with the aim of supporting efforts to improve the effectiveness of this type of educational technology. An exp... Read More about Understanding learning strategy as conversation.

A mobile homeostat with three degrees of freedom (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In the foundational cybernetics text, Design for a Brain, W. Ross Ashby introduces an adaptive system called the homeostat, and speculates about the possibility of creating a mobile homeostat “with its critical states set so that it seeks situations...

Droid geometry (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

An introduction to the geometry and inverse kinematics of robot arms. Suitable for beginners (as are most things worth learning), covering basic Python and trigonometry.

Governing narrative events with institutional norms (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A narrative world can be viewed as a form of society in which characters follow a set of social norms whose collective function is to guide the characters through (the creation of) a story arc and reach some conclusion. By modelling the rules of a na... Read More about Governing narrative events with institutional norms.
