FACIAL EXPRESSION DISCRIMINATES BETWEEN PAIN AND ABSENCE OF PAIN IN THE NON-COMMUNICATIVE, CRITICALLY ILL ADULT PATIENT
… universally accepted pain scale for use in the non-communicative (cognitively impaired, sedated, paralyzed or mechanically ventilated) patient. Facial expressions are considered among the most reflexive and automatic nonverbal indices of pain. The facial expression component of pain assessment …

Characteristics of effective communicative partners for veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
<p>This study identifies communicative and non-communicative characteristics of spouses of veterans with PTSD as discussed by the participants. Due to the exposure to traumatic events, language abilities of soldiers are often affected, commonly delaying the retrieval of memories, as well as …

From predictive to interactive multimodal language learning
… of the very rich perceptual input present in the communicative setups in which learning takes place. In this work, we will present three models of human learning from naturalistic multi-modal input. We will start by introducing a model that assumes a purely predictive learner existing in a …

Computer vision-based localization and mapping of an unknown, uncooperative and spinning target for spacecraft proximity operations
… geometric appearance, are uncooperative and non-communicative. These types of characteristics are also shared by a number of asteroid rendezvous missions. In order to safely operate in close proximity to an object in space, it is important to know the target object's position and orientation …

Processing correlated quantum systems in the one-shot setting
… novel ways in which correlations may be encoded non-locally in quantum mechanics have led to the promise of new technologies. This, in turn, has led to the first attempts at the development of quantum networks. Nonetheless, our understanding of quantum correlations and the limits of how we may …
