The UX of AI-Augmented Question Generation

Efterfrågan av bättre digitala läroverktyg har ökat de senaste åren, och fick en ytterligare höjning av Covid-19-pandemin. Många företag använder artificiell intelligens för att förbättra sina system, där ett användarfall är frågegenerering. Teknologin inom artificiell intelligens har dock avancerat så snabbt att andra forskningsområden inte har hunnit ikapp. Målet med denna uppsats - vilken är The demand for improved digital learning tools has increased over the recent years, and got an additional boost from the Covid-19-pandemic. Many companies use artificial intelligence to improve their systems, one use case being question generation. However, artificial intelligence technology has advanced so quickly that other research fields such as user experience has not been able to keep up.

Memory integration and Context overlap-Does an Overlap in Context Facilitate Better Memory Integration?

Tidigare forskning har visat att ett överlapp i kontext påverkar minnet. Vårt minne tenderar att vara bättre när miljön vi lär oss i liknar den miljö vi testas i. Vi har också en tendens att minnas liknande information som ett enhetligt minne, vilket kallas minnesintegraion. Syftet med studien var att undersöka huruvida ett överlapp i kontext skulle öka minnesintegrering. Studien genomfördes via Previous research has shown that context overlap affects memory. Our memory tends to be better when the learning environment is similar to the test environment. We also tend to integrate related information that has been experienced in different occasions into one unified memory, called memory integration. The aim of this study was to investigate if context overlaps helps to facilitate memory inte

Can electrical pulses be adapted to create life-like perceptions?

The next big step to improve prosthetics and make the lives of people living with certain physical disabilities less restricted is to provide them with sensory feedback. Today most feedback systems used in prosthetics are mechanical but with the recent developments in sensors and the processing of their input electrical stimulation is becoming an increasingly promising way to convey touch, pressur

Image-based anomaly detection using β -Variational Autoencoder for surface vehicle collision avoidance

Unmanned vehicles need robust systems to ensure the safety of the vehicle and its environment. Being able to find and avoid perilous situations is paramount to such a system. In this paper we suggest an unsupervised image-based anomaly detection algorithm using a variational autoencoder and a superpixel segmentation algorithm, which is adapted to the maritime obstacle detection task. The algorithm
