Chandrasegaran, R.S.K. (author), Salah, Almila Akdag (author), Lloyd, P.A. (author)Analysing transcripts of design activity typically involve either close reading or manual coding of data, which limits the amount of data that can be analysed. In contrast, we explore a machine-learning based linguistic analysis tool called Empath to identify patterns of reasoning in design talk. The data we use derives from the Design...journal article 2023

Chandrasegaran, R.S.K. (author), Akdag Salah, A.A. (author), Lloyd, P.A. (author)Abstract. Analysing records of design activity such as transcripts or documents have typically involved close reading of transcripts and manual identification of concepts and behaviours. We explore the applicability of a machine-learning based computational tool—called Empath—in identifying high-level patterns in design talk. Specifically, we...conference paper 2022

Kim, S. (author), van Grondelle, E.D. (author), van Zeumeren, I.M. (author), Mirnig, Alexander G. (author), Stojmenova, Kristina (author)In automated vehicles, the driver and the vehicle make a decision on the driving. However, there is no guarantee that drivers always agree or follow the system's decision. Drivers can reject the system's proposal or regain control, and it reduces the usefulness of automated vehicles. When a decision conflict happens, the vehicle can negotiate...conference paper 2022
