Combining human and machine intelligence for making predictions
… economics, statistics, operations research and management science has dealt with comparing forecasts based on human-expert judgment vs. (statistical) models in a variety of scenarios, mostly finding advantage of the latter, yet acknowledging the necessity of the former. Although computers …

The Comparison of Human and Machine Performance in Object Recognition
… advanced significantly due to better hardware and large training sets, with some claiming they now match or exceed human performance. Recent findings indicate improvements in robustness against Out-Of-Distribution benchmark sets and alignment with human categorisation behaviour. This thesis …

Acoustic chase : designing an interactive audio environment to stimulate human body movement
… audio environment was created that explores how humans react to commands imposed by a machine generating its acoustic stimuli on the basis of tracked body movement. In this environment, different states of human and machine action are understood as a balance of power that moves back and forth …

Robotic symbionts : exploring integrated human-machine action and expression
… we have augmented our physical abilities with machines. Concepts for flying machines and the ideas behind today's exoskeletons were recorded as early as the 13th century. Today, as technology permeates every aspect of our lives, it is easy to imagine a much closer integration of machines into …

Applying human-machine interaction design principles to retrofit existing automated freight planning systems
… companies strive to ready their people and machines for future system change. Based on resource constraints, business needs, and the speed of change, many companies may opt for system augmentation rather than the adoption of entirely new systems. At the same time, changes in technology …

Architectural epidemiology : a computational framework
… we need new methods for analyzing spatial data and health data jointly. In this thesis, I present several steps toward the goal of developing a computational model of architectural epidemiology that aims to leverage both human and machine intelligence to do so. First, I outline the need for …

A sociophonetic analysis of female-sounding virtual assistants
<p>As conversational machines (e.g., Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa) are increasingly anthropomorphized by humans and viewed as active interlocutors, it raises questions about the social information indexed by machine voices. This thesis provides a preliminary exploration of the relationship …

Nonlinear Observers for Human-in-the-loop Control Systems
<p>The development of models for a human-in-the-loop with hardware is an area of ongoing research. The ability to simulate a human-in-the-loop with hardware provides a platform for better understanding the dynamics of human and machine cognition. A human-in-the-loop model provides information that …

The SUN Action database : collecting and analyzing typical actions for visual scene types
Recent work in human and machine vision has increasingly focused on the problem of scene recognition. Scene types are largely defined by the actions one might typically do there: an office is a place someone would typically "work". I introduce the SUN Action database (short for "Scene UNderstanding …
