In Robot-Assisted Therapy for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, the therapists’ workload is increased due to the necessity of controlling the robot manually. The solution for this problem is to increase the level of autonomy of the system, namely the robot should interpret and adapt to the behaviour of the child under therapy. The problem that we are adressing is to develop a behaviour model that will be used for the robot decision-making process, which will learn how to adequately react to certain child reactions. We propose the use of the reinforcement learning technique for this task, where feedback for learning is obtained from the therapist’s evaluation of a robot’s behaviour.
Die Blockchain-Technologie ist einer der großen Innovationstreiber der letzten Jahre. Mit einer zugrundeliegenden Blockchain-Technologie ist auch der Betrieb von verteilten Anwendungen, sogenannter Decentralized Applications (DApps), bereits technisch umsetzbar. Dieser Beitrag verfolgt das Ziel, Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten der digitalen Verbraucherteilhabe an Blockchain-Anwendungen zu untersuchen. Hierzu enthält der Beitrag eine Einführung in die digitale Verbraucherteilhabe und die technischen Grundlagen und Eigenschaften der Blockchain-Technologie, einschließlich darauf basierender DApps. Abschließend werden technische, ethisch-organisatorische, rechtliche und sonstige Anforderungsbereiche für die Umsetzung von digitaler Verbraucherteilhabe in Blockchain-Anwendungen adressiert.
Risk-based authentication (RBA) aims to strengthen password-based authentication rather than replacing it. RBA does this by monitoring and recording additional features during the login process. If feature values at login time differ significantly from those observed before, RBA requests an additional proof of identification. Although RBA is recommended in the NIST digital identity guidelines, it has so far been used almost exclusively by major online services. This is partly due to a lack of open knowledge and implementations that would allow any service provider to roll out RBA protection to its users. To close this gap, we provide a first in-depth analysis of RBA characteristics in a practical deployment. We observed N=780 users with 247 unique features on a real-world online service for over 1.8 years. Based on our collected data set, we provide (i) a behavior analysis of two RBA implementations that were apparently used by major online services in the wild, (ii) a benchmark of the features to extract a subset that is most suitable for RBA use, (iii) a new feature that has not been used in RBA before, and (iv) factors which have a significant effect on RBA performance. Our results show that RBA needs to be carefully tailored to each online service, as even small configuration adjustments can greatly impact RBA's security and usability properties. We provide insights on the selection of features, their weightings, and the risk classification in order to benefit from RBA after a minimum number of login attempts.
Low-Cost In-Hand Slippage Detection and Avoidance for Robust Robotic Grasping with Compliant Fingers
(2021)
Designs for decorative surfaces, such as flooring, must cover several square meters to avoid visible repeats. While the use of desktop systems is feasible to support the designer, it is challenging for a non-domain expert to get the right impression of the appearances of surfaces due to limited display sizes and a potentially unnatural interaction with digital designs. At the same time, large-format editing of structure and gloss is becoming increasingly important. Advances in the printing industry allow for more faithful reproduction of such surface details. Unfortunately, existing systems for visualizing surface designs cannot adequately account for gloss, especially for non-domain experts. Here, the complex interaction of light sources and the camera position must be controlled using software controls. As a result, only small parts of the data set can be properly inspected at a time. Also, real-world lighting is not considered here. This work presents a system for the processing and realistic visualization of large decorative surface designs. To this end, we present a tabletop solution that is coupled to a live 360° video feed and a spatial tracking system. This allows for reproducing natural view-dependent effects like real-world reflections, live image-based lighting, and the interaction with the design using virtual light sources employing natural interaction techniques that allow for a more accurate inspection even for non-domain experts.
Risk-based authentication (RBA) extends authentication mechanisms to make them more robust against account takeover attacks, such as those using stolen passwords. RBA is recommended by NIST and NCSC to strengthen password-based authentication, and is already used by major online services. Also, users consider RBA to be more usable than two-factor authentication and just as secure. However, users currently obtain RBA's high security and usability benefits at the cost of exposing potentially sensitive personal data (e.g., IP address or browser information). This conflicts with user privacy and requires to consider user rights regarding the processing of personal data. We outline potential privacy challenges regarding different attacker models and propose improvements to balance privacy in RBA systems. To estimate the properties of the privacy-preserving RBA enhancements in practical environments, we evaluated a subset of them with long-term data from 780 users of a real-world online service. Our results show the potential to increase privacy in RBA solutions. However, it is limited to certain parameters that should guide RBA design to protect privacy. We outline research directions that need to be considered to achieve a widespread adoption of privacy preserving RBA with high user acceptance.
Components and Architecture for the Implementation of Technology-Driven Employee Data Protection
(2021)
In the field of service robots, dealing with faults is crucial to promote user acceptance. In this context, this work focuses on some specific faults which arise from the interaction of a robot with its real world environment due to insufficient knowledge for action execution. In our previous work [1], we have shown that such missing knowledge can be obtained through learning by experimentation. The combination of symbolic and geometric models allows us to represent action execution knowledge effectively. However we did not propose a suitable representation of the symbolic model. In this work we investigate such symbolic representation and evaluate its learning capability. The experimental analysis is performed on four use cases using four different learning paradigms. As a result, the symbolic representation together with the most suitable learning paradigm are identified.
Target meaning representations for semantic parsing tasks are often based on programming or query languages, such as SQL, and can be formalized by a context-free grammar. Assuming a priori knowledge of the target domain, such grammars can be exploited to enforce syntactical constraints when predicting logical forms. To that end, we assess how syntactical parsers can be integrated into modern encoder-decoder frameworks. Specifically, we implement an attentional SEQ2SEQ model that uses an LR parser to maintain syntactically valid sequences throughout the decoding procedure. Compared to other approaches to grammar-guided decoding that modify the underlying neural network architecture or attempt to derive full parse trees, our approach is conceptually simpler, adds less computational overhead during inference and integrates seamlessly with current SEQ2SEQ frameworks. We present preliminary evaluation results against a recurrent SEQ2SEQ baseline on GEOQUERY and ATIS and demonstrate improved performance while enforcing grammatical constraints.
Execution monitoring is essential for robots to detect and respond to failures. Since it is impossible to enumerate all failures for a given task, we learn from successful executions of the task to detect visual anomalies during runtime. Our method learns to predict the motions that occur during the nominal execution of a task, including camera and robot body motion. A probabilistic U-Net architecture is used to learn to predict optical flow, and the robot's kinematics and 3D model are used to model camera and body motion. The errors between the observed and predicted motion are used to calculate an anomaly score. We evaluate our method on a dataset of a robot placing a book on a shelf, which includes anomalies such as falling books, camera occlusions, and robot disturbances. We find that modeling camera and body motion, in addition to the learning-based optical flow prediction, results in an improvement of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve from 0.752 to 0.804, and the area under the precision-recall curve from 0.467 to 0.549.
