Assessing the environmental quality of an adapted, play-based LEGO robotics program to achieve optimal outcomes for children with disabilities.

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: This study assessed the environmental quality of an adapted, play-based LEGO robotics program for children and youth with disabilities to determine the degree to which the activity setting supports the therapeutic goals of the program.

Investigating cooperation with robotic peers.

PloS one
We explored how people establish cooperation with robotic peers, by giving participants the chance to choose whether to cooperate or not with a more/less selfish robot, as well as a more or less interactive, in a more or less critical environment. We...

Robot education peers in a situated primary school study: Personalisation promotes child learning.

PloS one
The benefit of social robots to support child learning in an educational context over an extended period of time is evaluated. Specifically, the effect of personalisation and adaptation of robot social behaviour is assessed. Two autonomous robots wer...

Change in quality of life in older people with dementia participating in Paro-activity: a cluster-randomized controlled trial.

Journal of advanced nursing
AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate effects of robot-assisted group activity with Paro on quality of life in older people with dementia.

Participation and Enjoyment in Play with a Robot between Children with Cerebral Palsy who use AAC and their Peers.

Augmentative and alternative communication (Baltimore, Md. : 1985)
This study explores children with complex communication needs, their peers and adult support persons in play with the talking and moving robot LekBot. Two triads were filmed playing with LekBot at pre-school. LekBot was developed to facilitate indepe...

Peer Relationships Are a Direct Cause of the Adolescent Mental Health Crisis: Interpretable Machine Learning Analysis of 2 Large Cohort Studies.

JMIR public health and surveillance
BACKGROUND: Converging evidence indicates an adolescent mental health crisis in Western societies that has developed and exacerbated over the past decade. The proposed driving factors of this trend include more screen time, physical inactivity, and s...

Artificial Allies: Validation of Synthetic Text for Peer Support Tools through Data Augmentation in NLP Model Development.

Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing. Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing
This study investigates the potential of using synthetic text to augment training data for Natural Language Processing (NLP) models, specifically within the context of peer support tools. We surveyed 22 participants-13 professional peer supporters an...

EmoNet: Deep Learning-based Emotion Climate Recognition Using Peers' Conversational Speech, Affect Dynamics, and Physiological Data.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Understanding the emotional dynamics within social interactions is crucial for meaningful interpretation. Despite progress in emotion recognition systems, recognizing the collective emotional climate among peers has been understudied. Addressing this...

Ensemble of diverse deep neural networks with pseudo-labels for repayment prediction in social lending.

Science progress
In peer-to-peer (P2P) social lending, it is important to predict the repayment of borrowers. P2P lending data are generated in real-time, but most of them are pending to decide the repayment because the deadline is not yet expired. Adding the unexpir...
