• Alex (Sandy) Pentland, director of the Human Dynamics Group at MIT, describes Reality Mining.
  "Alex (Sandy) Pentland, director of the Human Dynamics Group at MIT, describes a future in which cell phones log data about their owners' behavior.

• CSE Colloquia 2001 - Machines with Emotional Intelligence. Speaker: Rosalind Picard, Media Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
  "Over 70 studies on human-machine interaction in the last decade have pointed to an intriguing phenomenon: People interact with machines in a way that is basically social, even when the interaction was not designed to be that way. This program will describe how we're giving computers some social skills, specifically the ability to recognize and respond appropriately to human emotion. Examples are shown on keyboard-mouse-monitor systems that try to assess user frustration for usability feedback, and wearable systems that classify affective state based on skin-surface measurements." Questions from the audience follow the talk. October 18, 2001. (more)

• Do you have anything to say to your computer?
  A television commercial that first aired in 1999 starring the Lookout handsfree mixed-initiative interaction system for scheduling. The commercial was shown nationally and internationally as part of a Microsoft advertising campaign on the future of computing. January 1999. (more)
• Human Computation.
  Lecture by Luis von Ahn. Tasks like image recognition are trivial for humans, but continue to challenge even the most sophisticated computer programs. This talk introduces a paradigm for utilizing human processing power to solve problems that computers cannot yet solve. Traditional approaches to solving such problems focus on improving software. I advocate a novel approach: constructively channel human brainpower using computer games. For example, the ESP Game, described in this talk, is an enjoyable online game -- many people play over 40 hours a week -- and when people play, they help label images on the Web with descriptive keywords. These keywords can be used to significantly improve the accuracy of image search. People play the game not because they want to help, but because they enjoy it. . July 26, 2006. (more)
• MSR Adaptive Systems & Interaction Projects Overview.

• NLS Demo.
  On December 9, 1968, Douglas C. Engelbart and the group of 17 researchers working with him in the Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, CA, presented a 90-minute live public demonstration of the online system, NLS, they had been working on since 1962. The public presentation was a session in the of the Fall Joint Computer Conference held at the Convention Center in San Francisco. This site links to 35 segments,reformatted as RealVideo streaming video clips, with descriptions of each clip. December 9, 1968. (more)
• Nova scienceNOW Profile: Cynthia Breazeal.
  Nova scienceNOW broadcast segment about "a daring engineer designs robots to communicate and interact the way people do." "Thinking outside the box of traditional engineering, Breazeal designs these robots with theories of child development and parent-child interactions in mind, equipping her creations with an ability to learn and giving them expressive, human-like features. And if, as Breazeal hopes, robots are to become our partners, they need to develop the same social skills as people, including emotions. NOVA scienceNOW joins Breazeal in her lab and introduces viewers to some of her seminal inventions: the famous toddler- like robotic head named Kismet; Leonardo, a million-dollar joint project with Stan Winston, legendary in Hollywood for The Terminator robots; and a touch-sensitive teddy bear called the Huggable, which may someday comfort patients and assist caregivers in hospital pediatric wards."

• Scientific American Frontiers with Alan Alda: Cars That Think.
  3 segments: Part 1 - Watch the Road. Alan rides in a vehicle that recognizes road signs and hazards – and warns the driver to slow down. Part 2 - Hold the Phone! Alan 'drives' the Ford VIRTTEX simulator that researchers use to investigate how distractions like cell phone calls or drowsiness affect driver safety. Part 3 - Smart Passenger. A virtual smart passenger named Sally listens in to the driver's speech at all times and responds appropriately. January 26, 2005. (more)
• Tele-Immersive Dance: A Human/Computer Creative Environment.
  Tele-immersive Dance (TED) is a computer science and dance collaboration focused on building a computational model for human creativity. Within the 3D virtual room of TED, a dancer from Illinois is able to interact, fully immersed with a dancer from California using multiple points of view. These cross-continental collaborations reveal the potential of TED as a creativity tool for human/computer interaction. The next phase of research involves building a computational model of human creativity that will translate visual data signals into symbols that can then generate a computer response for the user.

• The Role of Semantic Web in Web 2.0: Partner or Follower?.
  Web 2.0 encompasses some of today's most exciting web-based applications: mashups, blogs/wikis/feeds, interface remixes, and social networking/tagging systems. Although most Web 2.0 applications rely on an implicit, lightweight, shared semantics in order to deliver user value, Web 2.0 technologies are significantly outdistancing semweb technologies in both implementation and mindshare. Panel discussion at Intl. Semantic Web Conference, ISWC-2006, Athens, GA with Benjamin Grosof, Tom Gruber, Tim Berners Lee. 2006. (more)

• Where the Social Web Meets the Semantic Web.
  Tom Gruber invited lecture at Intl.Semantic Web Conference ISWC-2006, Athens, GA. "The Semantic Web is an ecosystem of interaction among computer systems. The social web is an ecosystem of conversation among people. Both are enabled by conventions for layered services and data exchange. Both are driven by human-generated content and made scalable by machine-readable data. ... the Semantic Web [is] a substrate for collective intelligence. The best shot we have of collective intelligence in our lifetimes is large, distributed human-computer systems. The best way to get there is to harness the "people power" of the Web with the techniques of the Semantic Web." 2006. (more)
