An Ontology-Based Symbol Grounding System for Human-Robot Interaction
- 2014
-
In: Artificial Intelligence for Human-Robot Interaction. - : AAAI Press. ; , s. 48-50
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper presents an ongoing collaboration to develop a perceptual anchoring framework which creates and maintains the symbol-percept links concerning household objects. The paper presents an approach to non-trivialize the symbol system using ontologies and allow for HRI via enabling queries about objects properties, their affordances, and their perceptual characteristics as viewed from the robot (e.g. last seen). This position paper describes in brief the objective of creating a long term perceptual anchoring framework for HRI and outlines the preliminary work done this far.

Fragmentation in the climate change negotiations: Taking stock of the evolving coalition dynamics
- 2020

In: Coalitions in the Climate Change Negotiations. Carola Klöck, Paula Castro, Florian Weiler, Lau Øfjord Blaxekjær (red.). - : Routledge. - 9781000258967 ; , s. 17-34

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This chapter takes stock of the growing number of country coalitions active in the climate change negotiations. We start by characterising coalitions on the basis of their geographic and thematic scope, the size of their membership, and their level of formality. Based on these characteristics, we identify three clusters: regional; global climate-specific; and global generic coalitions. When looking at coalition activity over time, we see that global climate-specific coalitions in particular have emerged in recent years, and that once coalitions are created, they tend to persist. As a result, most developing countries belong to several coalitions. We posit two possible and contrasting implications of such overlapping coalition memberships: coalitions may mutually support each other as common members may help to build bridges across them; and/or multiple coalition memberships may create logistical challenges for smaller parties and lead to tensions in the case of divergent coalition positions. Further research is needed to shed light on these potential implications.

Urban planning and the knowledge politics of the smart city
- 2024
-
In: Urban Studies. - 0042-0980. ; 61:2, s. 370-382
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Smart cities promote computational and data-driven understandings of the built environment and have the potential to reconfigure urban planning and governance practices in profound ways. Smart urbanisation is often presented as a politically neutral and socially beneficial approach to achieve urban sustainability goals but the emphasis on data gathering and algorithmic analysis and decision-making has the tendency to restrict how urban stakeholders know and act upon cities. In this article, we apply Artistotle’s intellectual virtues of techne, episteme and phronesis to critique current practices of smart cities, data-driven urbanism and computational understandings of cities as they relate to urban planning theory and practice. We argue that the rise of smart cities represents a partial return to early- to mid-20th-century positivistic knowledge politics and the reassertion of technical experts as the drivers of urban change. However, we also highlight the recent emergence of citizen-centred smart cities as an opportunity to promote value rationality in urban planning activities. We conclude that there is a need for greater integration of techne, episteme and phronesis in the pursuit of smart cities to ensure that digitalisation does not foreclose on certain ways of knowing cities but instead, provides a foundation to support a progressive knowledge politics of urban development.

Health-related fitness in Swedish adolescents between 1987 and 2001.
- 2004
-
In: Acta Paediatrica. - : Wiley. - 0803-5253 .- 1651-2227. ; 93:5, s. 681-6
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- AIM: To assess trends in neuro-muscular and cardio-respiratory fitness and morphological fitness in Swedish adolescents between 1987 and 2001. METHODS: Comparison of data from two samples, one from 1987 (n = 479) and one from 2001 (n = 1470). Subjects underwent functional tests of muscular strength in the lower limbs, trunk and upper body, sub-maximal ergometrics, and measurement of body mass and height. RESULTS: Cardio-respiratory fitness showed only small changes between 1987 and 2001 among boys, with no changes in girls. Neuro-muscular fitness, as measured by three functional tests, was lower in 2001 compared to 1987. The most pronounced changes in these functional tests were found in the arm-hang test, while changes in lower body and trunk strength tests were less. Our results indicate that the difference in the prevalence of overweight in adolescents between 1987 and 2001 is mainly due to a large change in the most unfit group. The fittest group showed only marginal changes. CONCLUSION: We suggest that the differences in neuro-muscular fitness are at least partly due to differences in the amount and nature of physical activity, and that this might lead to consequences for health later in life.

A longitudinal item response model for Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) data from children with autism
- 2020
-
In: Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics. - : Springer Nature. - 1567-567X .- 1573-8744. ; 47:3, s. 241-253
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This manuscript aims to present the first item response theory (IRT) model within a pharmacometric framework to characterize the longitudinal changes of Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) data in children with autism. Data were obtained from 120 patients, which included 20,880 observations of the 58 items for up to three months. Observed scores for each ABC item were modeled as a function of the subject's disability. Longitudinal IRT models with five latent disability variables based on ABC subscales were used to describe the irritability, lethargy, stereotypic behavior, hyperactivity, and inappropriate speech over time. The IRT pharmacometric models could accurately describe the longitudinal changes of the patient's disability while estimating different time-course of disability for the subscales. For all subscales, model-estimated disability was reduced following initiation of therapy, most markedly for hyperactivity. The developed framework provides a description of ABC longitudinal data that can be a suitable alternative to traditional ABC data collected in autism clinical trials. IRT is a powerful tool with the ability to capture the heterogeneous nature of ABC, which results in more accurate analysis in comparison to traditional approaches.

Textile Memories (exhibition review)
- 2024
-
In: Textile: The Journal of Cloth & Culture. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1475-9756. ; 22:1, s. 213-217
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Textile Memories marks the first exhibition presented by the new organization HEIRLOOM center for art and archives. Founded and run by curators and art historians Stine Hebert and Johanne Løgstrup, the Copenhagen-based nonprofit will initiate and exhibit international projects associated with artistic archives. The center focuses on “exploring artistic legacy and overlooked collections in dialogue with contemporary art” and pays particular attention to “ephemeral practices and discussions around gender, identity and transnational exchanges.” Their first exhibition, a six person group show, brought together contemporary and historical textiles to “examine the current necessity—in light of the colonial past—to take new approaches to our understandings of people and communities.”
