Thomas S. Huang, Anton Nijholt, Maja Pantic and Alex Pentland, "Artifical Intelligence for Human Computing" (Repost)

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of two events discussing AI for Human Computing; one Special Session during the Eighth International ACM Conference on Multimodal Interfaces (ICMI 2006), held in Banff, Canada, in November 2006 and a Workshop organized in conjunction with the 20th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI 2007), held in Hyderabad, India, in January 2007.
A large number of the contributions in this state-of-the-art survey are updated and extended versions of the papers presented during these two events. In order to obtain a more complete overview of research efforts in the field of human computing, a number of additional invited contributions are included in this book on AI for human computing.
The 17 revised papers presented were carefully selected from numerous submissions to and presentations made at the two events and include invited articles to round off coverage of all relevant topics of the emerging topic. The papers are organized in three parts: a part on foundational issues of human computing, a part on sensing humans and their activities, and a part on anthropocentric interaction models.
