Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Over the years, the disciplines of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) have separately evolved to leverage, respectively, the potentials of intelligent machines, and those of advanced interaction paradigms and techniques. A common goal on which the two scientific communities have progressively converged has been to enhance human quality of life through a beneficial and effective interaction with intelligent systems. Such a goal is today raising several research challenges in different areas, ranging from machine learning, to natural language processing, to knowledge representation, to user modeling, to multimodal interfaces, to virtual reality interfaces, just to mention a few.  

The present Special Issue is intended to collect research contributions, which may witness the current challenges and future directions of intelligent human-computer interfaces. Original papers, especially, are sought, which tackle critical aspects of user experience with intelligent machines, possibly referring to a concrete domain, e.g., health, emergency, education, manufacturing industry, etc.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

- adaptive and customizable user interfaces

- affective multimodal interfaces

- brain computing interfaces

- collaborative intelligent interfaces

- intelligent assistive user interfaces 

- intelligent ubiquitous/mobile interfaces

- intelligent visualization/visual analytics tools

- interactive machine learning

- natural language processing interfaces

- smart interaction design techniques for smart objects

- usability evaluation of intelligent user interfaces 

- user experience with persuasive technology in the internet of things

- user modelling for intelligent interfaces.

Road traffic accidents caused by fatigue driving are common causes of human casualties. In this paper, we present a driver fatigue detection algorithm using two-stream network models with multi-facial features. The algorithm consists of four parts: (1) Positioning mouth and eye with multi-task cascaded convolutional neural networks (MTCNNs). (2) Extracting the static features from a partial facial image. (3) Extracting the dynamic features from a partial facial optical flow. (4) Combining both static and dynamic features using a two-stream neural network to make the classification. The main contribution of this paper is the combination of a two-stream network and multi-facial features for driver fatigue detection. Two-stream networks can combine static and dynamic image information, while partial facial images as network inputs can focus on fatigue-related information, which brings better performance. Moreover, we applied gamma correction to enhance image contrast, which can help our method achieve better results, noted by an increased accuracy of 2% in night environments. Finally, an accuracy of 97.06% was achieved on the National Tsing Hua University Driver Drowsiness Detection (NTHU-DDD) dataset. Full article

Emotion recognition plays an essential role in human–computer interaction. Previous studies have investigated the use of facial expression and electroencephalogram (EEG) signals from single modal for emotion recognition separately, but few have paid attention to a fusion between them. In this paper, we adopted a multimodal emotion recognition framework by combining facial expression and EEG, based on a valence-arousal emotional model. For facial expression detection, we followed a transfer learning approach for multi-task convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures to detect the state of valence and arousal. For EEG detection, two learning targets (valence and arousal) were detected by different support vector machine (SVM) classifiers, separately. Finally, two decision-level fusion methods based on the enumerate weight rule or an adaptive boosting technique were used to combine facial expression and EEG. In the experiment, the subjects were instructed to watch clips designed to elicit an emotional response and then reported their emotional state. We used two emotion datasets—a Database for Emotion Analysis using Physiological Signals (DEAP) and MAHNOB-human computer interface (MAHNOB-HCI)—to evaluate our method. In addition, we also performed an online experiment to make our method more robust. We experimentally demonstrated that our method produces state-of-the-art results in terms of binary valence/arousal classification, based on DEAP and MAHNOB-HCI data sets. Besides this, for the online experiment, we achieved 69.75% accuracy for the valence space and 70.00% accuracy for the arousal space after fusion, each of which has surpassed the highest performing single modality (69.28% for the valence space and 64.00% for the arousal space). The results suggest that the combination of facial expressions and EEG information for emotion recognition compensates for their defects as single information sources. The novelty of this work is as follows. To begin with, we combined facial expression and EEG to improve the performance of emotion recognition. Furthermore, we used transfer learning techniques to tackle the problem of lacking data and achieve higher accuracy for facial expression. Finally, in addition to implementing the widely used fusion method based on enumerating different weights between two models, we also explored a novel fusion method, applying boosting technique.
