The Key Concepts of Ethics of Artificial Intelligence

2018

The growing influence and decision-making capacities of Autonomous systems and Artificial Intelligence in our lives force us to consider the values embedded in these systems. But how ethics should be implemented into these systems? In this study, the solution is seen on philosophical conceptualization as a framework to form practical implementation model for ethics of AI. To take the first steps on conceptualization main concepts used on the field needs to be identified. A keyword based Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) on the keywords used in AI and ethics was conducted to help in identifying, defying and comparing main concepts used in current AI ethics discourse. Out of 1062 papers retrieve…

Data-driven Interactive Multiobjective Optimization : Challenges and a Generic Multi-agent Architecture

2020

In many decision making problems, a decision maker needs computer support in finding a good compromise between multiple conflicting objectives that need to be optimized simultaneously. Interactive multiobjective optimization methods have a lot of potential for solving such problems. However, the growth of complexity in problem formulations and the abundance of data bring new challenges to be addressed by decision makers and method developers. On the other hand, advances in the field of artificial intelligence provide opportunities in this respect. We identify challenges and propose directions of addressing them in interactive multiobjective optimization methods with the help of multiple int…

Information as a determinant of a decision system

2018

The purpose of the article is to describe the considerations of measuring information in the aspect of making decisions. In the last two decades an "informational revolution" has been made that opens the era of computer tools supporting decision-making processes (Internet, mobile telephony). This relatively new information environment includes information, users and systems that enable information processing. In the information environment, the value and quality of information should be taken into account. An important place in the consideration of information is the measurement of information in the aspect of decision-making.

Détection robuste de mouvement par histogrammes quasi‐continus

2012

National audience; Dans cet article, nous proposons d'utiliser la représentation de distributions de valeurs par histogrammes quasi-continus pour réaliser une détection temps réel de mouvement dans une séquence d'images. Nous comparons les résultats de cette détection à deux méthodes de référence de la littérature.

Temporal Denoising of Kinect Depth Data

2012

The release of the Microsoft Kinect has attracted the attention of researchers in a variety of computer science domains. Even though this device is still relatively new, its recent applications have shown some promising results in terms of replacing current conventional methods like the stereo-camera for robotics navigation, multi-camera system for motion detection and laser scanner for 3D reconstruction. While most work around the Kinect is on how to take full advantage of its capabilities, so far only a few studies have been carried out on the limitations of this device and fewer that provide solutions to enhance the precision of its measurements. In this paper, we review and analyse curr…

Brackish water off-grid desalination systems for developing countries

2017

The REvivED water project aims to contribute to overcoming the drinking water challenge through desalination technology. The goal is to produce safe and affordable drinking water with a significantly reduced energy consumption compared to the current state-of-the-art technology. The overall project comprises several systems and applications with twelve pilots in total, ranging from Electrodialysis (ED) small systems for brackish water desalination to larger scale hybrid (RED/ED-RO) systems for sea water desalination. Specific attention is devoted to develop energy efficient and robust brackish water desalination systems for application in developing countries. To reduce the energy consumpti…

Promoting cruise ship as 'tourist destination' on Television: the case of Italy

2019

Destination image is one of the elements that most affect tourists’ decision-making processes (Baloglu and McCleary, 1999). Since a distinctive image can differentiate a destination from its competitors, destinations usually compete also via images (Urry, 1990). In this regard, cruise tourism is no exception, since “image is what sells cruises” (Klein, 2002). Over the past 30 years this has led to significant growth in advertising activities aiming to promote the cruise ship “as the destination in itself” (Wood, 2004). Similar trends can be observed among Italian cruise lines as well. Among different types of promotional texts, the importance of the visual ones in shaping the ways tourist r…

The sociologist as cruiser: Masculinities, deviance and sexuality in gay sex work arenas

2019

This article explores the methodological and ethical issues that arise from ethnographic research in sexual practices in the study of non-normative sexualities. It explores the researcher as a subject in the research as well as doing the research. Taking a queer approach, it identifies key themes and issues that the reflexive researcher faces when in the field.
