From the perspective of social cognition research, low-cost eye trackers provide the appropriate technology for novel methods for designing experiments on group gaze data collection, an experimental environment that has not been available so far in an affordable way. The affordability of the eye tracker sensors has also been leading to the development of accompanying software tools that support their use in various user interaction environments. We have been developing an open software tool, GET-Social, for group gaze data collection, which has a single server – multiple client architecture. The server collects synchronous gaze data from multiple client eye trackers and then displays others’ gaze by animating the gaze location on client displays through a client application. The animation overlays the display of the operating system, thus allowing an application-independent use. Besides animating gaze locations online on client displays, the server logs raw eye movement data offline and converts the data to eye movement events. The fixation locations are then used for calculating a score that aims at quantifying multiple-gaze cross-recurrence, based on Multivariate Kernel Density Estimation. We believe that GET-Social has the potential to serve both for research and application-specific developments for group eye tracking.

In this paper, we focus on the human activity recognition module of a homecare system that consists of wireless sensors developed for remotely monitoring patients with cognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer. To this end, as an initial study, we designed a smart couch that is equipped with accelerometer, vibration and force resistive sensors to monitor how much time people spend while sitting, lying or napping on the couch and to recognize the drifts from their daily routines. In order to distinguish these a...
A Hybrid geo-activity recommendation system using advanced feature combination and semantic activity similarity
Sattari, Masoud; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2013)
In this study, a new method for analyzing and representing the discriminative information, distributed in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data, is proposed. For this purpose, a local mesh with varying size is formed around each voxel, called the seed voxel. The relationships among each seed voxel and its neighbors are estimated using a linear regression equation by minimizing the expectation of the squared error. This squared error coming from linear regression is used to calculate various info...

A new trend, called learning to rank, has recently come to light in a wide variety of applications in Information Retrieval (IR), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Data Mining (DM), to utilize machine learning techniques to automatically build the ranking models. Typical applications are document retrieval, expert search, definition search, collaborative filtering, question answering, and machine translation. In IR, there are three approaches used for ranking. The one is traditional model approaches su...

In this study, we propose a new method for analyzing and representing the distribution of discriminative information for data acquired via functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). For this purpose, we form a spatially local mesh with varying size, around each voxel, called the seed voxel. The relationship among each seed voxel and its neighbors is estimated using a linear regression model by minimizing the square error. Then, we estimate the optimal mesh size that represents the connections among each ...
