abstract = {Conversational agents (CAs) lack of possibilities to enrich the interaction with emotional cues, although this makes the conversation more human-like and enhances user engagement. Thus, the potential of CAs is not fully exploit and possibilities to convey emotional cues are needed. In this work, CAs use colored ambient lights to display moral emotions during the interaction. To evaluate this approach, a between-subject lab experiment (N=64) was conducted. Participants played a cooperation game with Amazon’s Alexa. Depending on the experimental condition participants received different light expressions: no light, neutral light, or morally emotional light (yellow = joy, blue = sorrow, red = anger matching the game decisions). The effect of the light expressions on the perception of the CA, users’ empathy and cooperation behavior was tested. Against our assumptions, the results indicated no positive effect of the emotional light cues. Limitations, next steps, and implications are discussed.},

abstract = {In the context of digitization and the COVID-19 pandemic, online teaching comes more and more into focus of higher education. Various online learning methodologies such as using videos as a teaching method are promising, but can also create problems in the area of social relations or learning habits. The concept of collaborative learning, especially in an online environment, could counteract these problems. This paper presents a collaborative online learning tool that allows students to get together in learning groups to watch educational videos together. Various functions, such as a chat, help students to communicate with each other. A psychological evaluation was conducted to investigate the effects on students. The evaluation demonstrated positive effects of the tool, since it enhances important psychological processes (like flow and cognitive load) within the learning process. Moreover, its usability was rated as good and participants showed a high usage intention for the tool. Nevertheless, further investigations in long-term learning courses are needed to finally confirm the tool's effectiveness.},

abstract = {Social media platforms provide opportunities for users across the world to connect and communicate between them and engage into acts of social support and entertainment. Yet it can also bring negative consequences as it has been associated with poor mental health and life dissatisfaction. This underlines the importance of delivering social media literacy (SML) interventions that raise awareness of the dangers and threats that are hidden within. To this date, SML initiatives have shown their benefits towards the acquisition of SML skills through the forms of school interventions and mini-games. However, studies on promoting SML through social media platforms need to be also encouraged and innovative approaches to provide interactive scenarios with hands-on experiences need to be formulated. Hence, the project COURAGE introduces a new approach towards SML by proposing the integration of educational opportunities within a controlled social media platform. To provide students the opportunity to learn whilst they naturally explore social media we propose the integration of virtual learning companions. In this paper we report seven empirical approaches towards SML skills acquisition powered by virtual learning companions. The paper concludes with a discussion towards the benefits and limitations of using this type of SML interventions.},

abstract = {Social media are offering new opportunities for communication and interaction way beyond what was possible only a few years ago. However, social media are also virtual spaces where young people are exposed to a variety of threats. Digital addiction, discrimination, hate speech, misinformation, polarization as well as manipulative influences of algorithms, body stereotyping, and cyberbullying are examples of challenges that find fertile ground on social media. Educators and students are not adequately prepared to face these challenges. To this aim, the COURAGE project, presented in this paper, introduces new tools and learning methodologies that can be adopted within higher education learning paths to train educators to deal with social media threats. The overarching principles of the COURAGE project leverage the most recent advances in the fields of artificial intelligence and in the educational domain paired with social and media psychological insights to support the development of the COURAGE ecosystem. The results of the experiments currently implemented with teachers and students of secondary schools as well as the impact of the COURAGE project on societal changes and ethical questions are presented and discussed.},

abstract = {<p>Social media have become an integral part of our lives, expanding our interlinking capabilities to new levels. There is plenty to be said about their positive effects. On the other hand, however, some serious negative implications of social media have been repeatedly highlighted in recent years, pointing at various threats to society and its more vulnerable members, such as teenagers, in particular, ranging from much-discussed problems such as digital addiction and polarization to manipulative influences of algorithms and further to more teenager-specific issues (e.g., body stereotyping). The impact of social media—both at an individual and societal level—is characterized by the complex interplay between the users' interactions and the intelligent components of the platform. Thus, users' understanding of social media mechanisms plays a determinant role. We thus propose a theoretical framework based on an adaptive “<italic>Social Media Virtual Companion</italic>” for educating and supporting an entire community, teenage students, to interact in social media environments in order to achieve desirable conditions, defined in terms of a community-specific and participatory designed measure of Collective Well-Being (CWB). This Companion combines automatic processing with expert intervention and guidance. The virtual Companion will be powered by a <italic>Recommender System</italic> (<italic>CWB-RS</italic>) that will optimize a <italic>CWB</italic> metric instead of engagement or platform profit, which currently largely drives recommender systems thereby disregarding any societal collateral effect. CWB-RS will optimize CWB both in the short term by balancing the level of social media threats the users are exposed to, and in the long term by adopting an <italic>Intelligent Tutor System</italic> role and enabling adaptive and personalized sequencing of playful learning activities. We put an emphasis on <italic>experts</italic> and <italic>educators</italic> in the <italic>educationally managed social media community</italic> of the Companion. They play five key roles: (a) use the Companion in classroom-based educational activities; (b) guide the definition of the CWB; (c) provide a hierarchical structure of learning strategies, objectives and activities that will support and contain the adaptive sequencing algorithms of the CWB-RS based on hierarchical reinforcement learning; (d) act as moderators of direct conflicts between the members of the community; and, finally, (e) monitor and address ethical and educational issues that are beyond the intelligent agent's competence and control. This framework offers a possible approach to understanding how to design social media systems and embedded educational interventions that favor a more healthy and positive society. Preliminary results on the performance of the Companion's components and studies of the educational and psychological underlying principles are presented.</p>},

abstract = {The following work describes the development of a project management platform based on the waves blockchain technology. The aim is to use the platform to optimally reward both fairness and the achievement of quality standards in software development. Due to the outsourcing of software projects and the associated processes, situations arise in which different project participants work on the same tasks, while paid differently and in most cases independent of the delivered software quality. This is based on the respective contract conditions an individual software developer has negotiated, without factoring in the actual quality of the code the developer provided. The proposal of this work is a prototypical software application that takes the requirements of a project and measures the corresponding contributions of the developers based on their software quality. Project sponsors can also pay out the enrolled project partners via the platform.},

abstract = {{Objective. Accurate decoding of surface electromyography (sEMG) is pivotal for muscle-to-machine-interfaces and their application e.g. rehabilitation therapy. sEMG signals have high inter-subject variability, due to various factors, including skin thickness, body fat percentage, and electrode placement. Deep learning algorithms require long training time and tend to overfit if only few samples are available. In this study, we aim to investigate methods to calibrate deep learning models to a new user when only a limited amount of training data is available. Approach. Two methods are commonly used in the literature, subject-specific modeling and transfer learning. In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of transfer learning using weight initialization for recalibration of two different pretrained deep learning models on new subjects data and compare their performance to subject-specific models. We evaluate two models on three publicly available databases (non invasive adaptive prosthetics database 2–4) and compare the performance of both calibration schemes in terms of accuracy, required training data, and calibration time. Main results. On average over all settings, our transfer learning approach improves 5%-points on the pretrained models without fine-tuning, and 12%-points on the subject-specific models, while being trained for 22% fewer epochs on average. Our results indicate that transfer learning enables faster learning on fewer training samples than user-specific models. Significance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comparison of subject-specific modeling and transfer learning. These approaches are ubiquitously used in the field of sEMG decoding. But the lack of comparative studies until now made it difficult for scientists to assess appropriate calibration schemes. Our results guide engineers evaluating similar use cases.},

Research shows that isolation can lead to decreased learning efficiency and is intensified by the increased asynchronous online teaching during the pandemic. This change is not only challenging for students, but also for teachers, as students do not have a direct communication and feedback channel when learning content is presented in form of pre-recorded videos in a learning management system. In this paper, we present VGather2Learn Analytics, which is an extension to the already existing collaborative learning system VGather2Learn, which makes it possible for teachers to analyse the learning behavior of students in asynchronous video-teaching. The information presented in a dashboard will allow teachers to better understand how students interact while watching learning videos collaboratively and can improve online-teaching.},

abstract = {Objective: Electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) are two non-invasive bio-signals, which are widely used in human machine interface (HMI) technologies (EEG-HMI and EMG-HMI paradigm) for the rehabilitation of physically disabled people. Successful decoding of EEG and EMG signals into respective control command is a pivotal step in the rehabilitation process. Recently, several Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) based architectures are proposed that directly map the raw time-series signal into decision space and the process of meaningful features extraction and classification are performed simultaneously. However, these networks are tailored to the learn the expected characteristics of the given bio-signal and are limited to single paradigm. In this work, we addressed the question that can we build a single architecture which is able to learn distinct features from different HMI paradigms and still successfully classify them. Approach: In this work, we introduce a single hybrid model called ConTraNet, which is based on CNN and Transformer architectures that is equally useful for EEG-HMI and EMG-HMI paradigms. ConTraNet uses CNN block to introduce inductive bias in the model and learn local dependencies, whereas the Transformer block uses the self-attention mechanism to learn the long-range dependencies in the signal, which are crucial for the classification of EEG and EMG signals. Main results: We evaluated and compared the ConTraNet with state-of-the-art methods on three publicly available datasets which belong to EEG-HMI and EMG-HMI paradigms. ConTraNet outperformed its counterparts in all the different category tasks (2-class, 3-class, 4-class, and 10-class decoding tasks). Significance: The results suggest that ConTraNet is robust to learn distinct features from different HMI paradigms and generalizes well as compared to the current state of the art algorithms.},

abstract = {Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) enable communication between humans and machines by translating brain activity into control commands. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals are one of the most used brain signals in non-invasive BCI applications but are often contaminated with noise. Therefore, it is possible that meaningful patterns for classifying EEG signals are deeply hidden. State-of-the-art deep-learning algorithms are successful in learning hidden, meaningful patterns. However, the quality and the quantity of the presented inputs is pivotal. Here, we propose a novel feature extraction method called anchored Short Time Fourier Transform (anchored-STFT), which is an advanced version of STFT, as it minimizes the trade-off between temporal and spectral resolution presented by STFT. In addition, we propose a novel augmentation method, called gradient norm adversarial augmentation (GNAA). GNAA is not only an augmentation method but is also used to harness adversarial inputs in EEG data, which not only improves the classification accuracy but also enhances the robustness of the classifier. In addition, we also propose a new CNN architecture, namely Skip-Net, for the classification of EEG signals. The proposed pipeline outperforms all state-of-the-art methods and yields an average classification accuracy of 90.7 % and 89.54 % on BCI competition II dataset III and BCI competition IV dataset 2b, respectively.},

However, many people are not used to interacting and navigating in VR and may not have much prior technical experience, which can become a distracting factor to the content and can influence success negatively. Thus, benefits of VR-environments cannot be fully exploited. Aiming to counteract the problem that people cannot take advantage of the benefits of VR-applications, an instruction room for training representative interaction patterns, i.e. interaction and locomotion mechanics, was designed. Students (N = 12) were videotaped going through six stations of the instruction room with different interaction tasks. They were prompted to think aloud to capture their thoughts (e.g., intuitiveness, usability and expansion ideas) while interacting, and interviewed afterwards for an overall assessment. A qualitative content analysis helped to identify patterns. Interactions like localization field triggers for instructions and answering a quiz were regarded as highly intuitive, giving feedback with a drum keyboard was reported as most entertaining.},

abstract = {<p>In this paper we present the results of a systematic review aimed at investigating what the literature reports on cyberbullying and cyberhate, whether and to what extent the connection between the two phenomena is made explicit, and whether it is possible to identify overlapping factors in the description of the phenomena. Specifically, for each of the 24 selected papers, we have identified the predictors of cyberbullying behaviors and the consequences of cyberbullying acts on the victims; the same analysis has been carried out with reference to cyberhate. Then, by comparing what emerged from the literature on cyberbullying with what emerged from the literature on cyberhate, we verify to what extent the two phenomena overlap in terms of predictors and consequences. Results show that the cyberhate issue related to adolescents is less investigated than cyberbullying, and most of the papers focusing on one of them do not refer to the other. Nevertheless, by comparing the predictors and outcomes of cyberbullying and cyberhate as reported in the literature, an overlap between the two concepts emerges, with reference to: the parent-child relationship to reduce the risk of cyber-aggression; the link between sexuality and cyber-attacks; the protective role of the families and of good quality friendship relationships; the impact of cyberbullying and cyberhate on adolescents' individuals' well-being and emotions; meaningful analogies between the coping strategies put in practice by victims of cyberbullying and cyberhate. We argue that the results of this review can stimulate a holistic approach for future studies on cyberbullying and cyberhate where the two phenomena are analyzed as two interlinked instances of cyber-aggression. Similarly, prevention and intervention programs on a responsible and safe use of social media should refer to both cyberbullying and cyberhate issues, as they share many predictors as well as consequences on adolescents' wellbeing, thus making it diminishing to afford them separately.</p><sec><title>Systematic Review Registration</title><p><ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO</ext-link>, identifier: CRD42021239461.</p></sec>},

abstract = {Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive technique for measuring brain electrical activity from electrodes placed on the scalp surface. Improvements in this technology are particularly relevant because they also boost brain-machine interfaces (BMI) development. Commonly, gel-based electrodes are used since they guarantee a high-quality signal. Alternatively, dry electrodes have been introduced, more suitable for daily use. In this work, we compare conventional dry and wet electrode systems specifically for the detection of error-related potentials (ErrPs). ErrPs are elicited as a reaction to both self-made and external errors. There has been increased interest in the integration of these signals into BMIs to improve their performance since they provide a convenient source of feedback to the system with no extra workload for the subject. These signals can be used, e.g., to correct errors or even for system adaptation. ErrP-based BMIs in the literature have consistently used wet electrodes. Therefore, even though both electrodes types have been compared for other event-related potentials (e.g., P300), it is relevant to know whether the signal quality for the detection of ErrPs is comparable among them. In this work, we implement a simple game to elicit ErrPs and compare the quality of the measured signals. We tested the feasibility of the experimental protocol to elicit ErrP and the measured ErrP displayed a similar waveshape in terms of observed peaks. However, differences exist in both latencies as well as in their amplitude. These variations and other relevant characteristics have to be further verified with more subjects},

abstract = {Motion intention prediction is the key to robot-assisted rehabilitation systems. These can rely on various biological signals. One commonly used signal is the muscle activity measured by an electromyogram that occurs between 50-100 milliseconds before the actual movement, allowing a real-world application to assist in time. We show that upper limb motion can be estimated from the corresponding muscle activity. To this end, eight-arm muscles are mapped to the joint angle, velocity, and acceleration of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist. For this purpose, we specifically develop an artificial neural network that estimates complex motions involving multiple upper limb joints. The network model is evaluated concerning its ability to generalize across subjects as well as for new motions. This is achieved through training on multiple subjects and additional transfer learning methods so that the prediction for new subjects is significantly improved. In particular, this is beneficial for a robust real-world application. Furthermore, we investigate the importance of the different parameters such as angle, velocity, and acceleration for simple and complex motions. Predictions for simple motions along with the main components of complex motions achieve excellent accuracy while joints that do not play a dominant role during the motion have comparatively lower accuracy.},

Research has found that a robot's appearance influences the perceived fit in different application domains (e.g. industrial or social) and that the role a robot is presented in predicts its perceived personality. However, it is unclear how the surroundings as such can elicit a halo effect leading to stereotypical perceptions. This paper presents the results of an experimental study in which 206 participants saw 8 cartoon pictures of the robot Pepper in different application domains in a within-subjects online study. Results indicate that the environment a robot is placed in has an effect on the users' evaluation of the robot's warmth, competence, status in society, competition, anthropomorphism, and morality. As the first impression has an effect on users' expectations and evaluation of the robot and the interaction with it, the effect of the application scenarios has to be considered carefully.},

abstract = {Internet of things (IoT) devices increasingly permeate everyday life and provide vital and convenient information. Augmented reality (AR) enables the embedding of this information in the environment using visualizations that can contextualize data for various applications such as Smart Home. Current applications providing a visual representation of the information are often limited to graphs or bar charts, neglecting the variety of possible coherence between the subject and the visualization. We present a setup for real-time AR-based visualizations of data collected by IoT devices. Three distinct battery-powered IoT microcontroller systems were designed and programmed. Each is outfitted with numerous sensors, i.e. for humidity or temperature, to interact with the developed AR application through a network connection. The AR application was developed using Unity3D and the Vuforia AR SDK for Android-based mobile devices with the goal of providing processed and visualized information that is comprehensible for the respective context. Inspired by weather applications for mobile devices, the visualization contains animated dioramas, with changing attributes based on the input data from the IoT microcontroller. This work contains the configuration of the IoT microcontroller hardware, the network interface used, the development process of the AR application, and its usage, complemented by possible future extensions described in an outlook.},

abstract = {While the usage of digital systems in the medical sector has increased, nursing activities are still mostly performed without any form of digital assistance. Considering the complex and demanding procedures the medical personnel is confronted with, a high task load is expected which is prone to human errors. Solutions, however, need to match staff requirements and ideally involve them in the development process to ensure acceptance and usage. Based on desired application scenarios, we introduce a concept of an augmented reality (AR)-based patient data application that provides context-relevant information for nursing staff and doctors. Developed for the Hololens 2, the application allows the retrieval and synchronization of the patient data from the host network of the respective hospital information system. For this purpose, a system infrastructure consisting of several software components was developed to simulate the exchange between the AR device and the independent hospital environment. The paper outlines the conceptual approach based on requirements collected from nurses, related work, the technical implementation and discusses limitations and future developments.},

abstract = {The concept of Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) describes innovative industrial work procedures, in which human staff works in close vicinity with robots on a shared task. Current HRC scenarios often deploy hand-guided robots or remote controls operated by the human collaboration partner. As HRC envisions active collaboration between both parties, ongoing research efforts aim to enhance the capabilities of industrial robots not only in the technical dimension but also in the robot’s socio-interactive features. Apart from enabling the robot to autonomously complete the respective shared task in conjunction with a human partner, one essential aspect lifted from the group collaboration among humans is the communication between both entities. State-of-the-art research has identified communication as a significant contributor to successful collaboration between humans and industrial robots. Non-verbal gestures have been shown to be contributing aspect in conveying the respective state of the robot during the collaboration procedure. Research indicates that, depending on the viewing perspective, the usage of non-verbal gestures in humans can impact the interpersonal attribution of certain characteristics. Applied to collaborative robots such as the Yumi IRB 14000, which is equipped with two arms, specifically to mimic human actions, the perception of the robots’ non-verbal behavior can affect the collaboration. Most important in this context are dominance emitting gestures by the robot that can reinforce negative attitudes towards robots, thus hampering the users’ willingness and effectiveness to collaborate with the robot. By using a 3 × 3 within-subjects design online study, we investigated the effect of dominance gestures (Akimbo, crossing arms, and large arm spread) working in a standing position with an average male height, working in a standing position with an average female height, and working in a seated position on the perception of dominance of the robot. Overall 115 participants (58 female and 57 male) with an average age of 23 years evaluated nine videos of the robot. Results indicated that all presented gestures affect a person’s perception of the robot in regards to its perceived characteristics and willingness to cooperate with the robot. The data also showed participants’ increased attribution of dominance based on the presented viewing perspective.},

abstract = {Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) enable communication between humans and machines by translating brain activity into control commands. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals are one of the most used brain signals in non-invasive BCI applications but are often contaminated with noise. Therefore, it is possible that meaningful patterns for classifying EEG signals are deeply hidden. State-of-the-art deep-learning algorithms are successful in learning hidden, meaningful patterns. However, the quality and the quantity of the presented inputs is pivotal. Here, we propose a novel feature extraction method called anchored Short Time Fourier Transform (anchored-STFT), which is an advanced version of STFT, as it minimizes the trade-off between temporal and spectral resolution presented by STFT. In addition, we propose a novel augmentation method, called gradient norm adversarial augmentation (GNAA). GNAA is not only an augmentation method but is also used to harness adversarial inputs in EEG data, which not only improves the classification accuracy but also enhances the robustness of the classifier. In addition, we also propose a new CNN architecture, namely Skip-Net, for the classification of EEG signals. The proposed pipeline outperforms all state-of-the-art methods and yields an average classification accuracy of 90.7 % and 89.54 % on BCI competition II dataset III and BCI competition IV dataset 2b, respectively.},
