'Girlfriends and Strawberry Jam’: Tagging Memories, Experiences, and Events for Future Retrieval
In this short paper we have some preliminary thoughts about tagging everyday life events in order to allow future retrieval of events or experiences related to events. Elaboration of these thoughts will be done in the context of the recently started Network of Excellence PetaMedia (Peer-to-Peer Tagged Media) and the Network of Excellence SSPNet (Social Signal Processing), to start in 2009, both funded by the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme. Descriptions of these networks will be given later in this paper
Big data analytics:Computational intelligence techniques and application areas
Big Data has significant impact in developing functional smart cities and supporting modern societies. In this paper, we investigate the importance of Big Data in modern life and economy, and discuss challenges arising from Big Data utilization. Different computational intelligence techniques have been considered as tools for Big Data analytics. We also explore the powerful combination of Big Data and Computational Intelligence (CI) and identify a number of areas, where novel applications in real world smart city problems can be developed by utilizing these powerful tools and techniques. We present a case study for intelligent transportation in the context of a smart city, and a novel data modelling methodology based on a biologically inspired universal generative modelling approach called Hierarchical Spatial-Temporal State Machine (HSTSM). We further discuss various implications of policy, protection, valuation and commercialization related to Big Data, its applications and deployment
Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) art in care of ageing society: focus on dementia
open access articleBackground: Art enhances both physical and mental health wellbeing. The health
benefits include reduction in blood pressure, heart rate, pain perception and briefer
inpatient stays, as well as improvement of communication skills and self-esteem. In
addition to these, people living with dementia benefit from reduction of their noncognitive,
behavioural changes, enhancement of their cognitive capacities and being
socially active.
Methods: The current study represents a narrative general literature review on
available studies and knowledge about contribution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in
creative arts.
Results: We review AI visual arts technologies, and their potential for use among
people with dementia and care, drawing on similar experiences to date from
traditional art in dementia care.
Conclusion: The virtual reality, installations and the psychedelic properties of the AI
created art provide a new venue for more detailed research about its therapeutic use in
dementia
