A Similarity Measure for Comparing Conversational Dynamics

EMNLP 2025

The quality of a conversation goes beyond the individual quality of each reply, and instead emerges from how these combine into interactional dynamics that give the conversation its distinctive overall “shape”. However, there is no robust automated method for comparing conversations in terms of thei

SEBF: A Single-Chain based Extension Model of Blockchain for Fintech

IJCAI 2020poster

The traditional blockchain has the shortcoming that a single-chain can only deal with one or a few specific data types. The research question of how to make blockchain be able to deal with various data types has not been well studied. In this paper, we propose a single-chain based extension model of…

A 2-point pose estimation algorithm for monocular visual odometry of ground vehicles

IROS 2017poster

This paper presents a 2-point algorithm for relative pose estimation of a monocular camera mounted on a ground vehicle. Specifically, the geometric model is developed by combining two-view geometry with planar motion constraint. Based on the proposed model, the relative camera pose information can b…

Adaptive visual trajectory tracking of nonholonomic mobile robots based on trifocal tensor

IROS 2015poster

This paper presents a trifocal tensor based approach for the visual trajectory tracking task of a nonholonomic mobile robot, which is equipped with a roughly installed monocular camera. A set of pre-recorded images are used to express the desired trajectory, and the robot is regulated to track the d…
