A human performance modelling approach to intelligent decision support systems
Manned space operations require that the many automated subsystems of a space platform be controllable by a limited number of personnel. To minimize the interaction required of these operators, artificial intelligence techniques may be applied to embed a human performance model within the automated, or semi-automated, systems, thereby allowing the derivation of operator intent. A similar application has previously been proposed in the domain of fighter piloting, where the demand for pilot intent derivation is primarily a function of limited time and high workload rather than limited operators. The derivation and propagation of pilot intent is presented as it might be applied to some programs
Predicting Motivations of Actions by Leveraging Text
Understanding human actions is a key problem in computer vision. However,
recognizing actions is only the first step of understanding what a person is
doing. In this paper, we introduce the problem of predicting why a person has
performed an action in images. This problem has many applications in human
activity understanding, such as anticipating or explaining an action. To study
this problem, we introduce a new dataset of people performing actions annotated
with likely motivations. However, the information in an image alone may not be
sufficient to automatically solve this task. Since humans can rely on their
lifetime of experiences to infer motivation, we propose to give computer vision
systems access to some of these experiences by using recently developed natural
language models to mine knowledge stored in massive amounts of text. While we
are still far away from fully understanding motivation, our results suggest
that transferring knowledge from language into vision can help machines
understand why people in images might be performing an action.Comment: CVPR 201
