Assisted Cognition Henry Kautz University of Rochester Computer Science
2
Vision Understanding human behavior from sensor data Actively prompting, warning, and advising Alerting caregivers as necessary Computer systems that improve the independence and safety of people suffering from cognitive limitations by…
3
Technical Foundations Inexpensive, easily deployed sensors GPS cell phones – location RFID tags – object manipulation Wearables – motion, sound, pulse,... Advances in algorithms for high-level analysis of sensor data
4
General Approach user profile general knowledge wearable sensors environmental sensors decision making user interface caregiver alerts behavior cognitive stateintentionsactivity
5
Examples Maintaining a daily schedule Compensating for memory problems Compensating for lowered self-initiative Navigation Indoors or outdoors Performing activities of daily living Step-by-step prompting Behavior regulation Improving self-awareness Safety and wellness Need for immediate help Long term health trends
6
Where is the Work Being Done? Field is coming together from many communities Computer science – artificial intelligence, robotics, ubiquitous computing Rehabilitation engineering Rehabilitation medicine Assisted-living & nursing homes Gerontology
7
ACCESS Assisted Cognition in Community, Employment, & Social Settings
8
Example: Community Access for the Cognitively Disabled
9
Problems in Using Public Transportation Learning bus routes and numbers Transfers, complex plans Recovering from mistakes
10
Current GPS Navigation Devices Designed for drivers, not bus riders! Should I get on this bus? Is my stop next? What do I do if I miss my stop? Destination manually entered High cognitive overhead Device decides which route is “best” Familiar route better than shorter one Catastrophic failure when signal is lost Frequent “dead zones” in urban areas
11
Idea User carries GPS cell phone System infers user’s state Walking? Getting on a bus? System learns about user Important places, routes Breaks from routine = user may be confused or lost Offer help Call caregiver
12
Transportation Routines BA Goal: intended destination Workplace, home, friends, restaurants, … Trip segments: Home to Bus stop A on Foot Bus stop A to Bus stop B on Bus Bus stop B to workplace on Foot WorkplaceHome

Error Detection: Missed Bus Stop
15
GPS camera-phone “Knocks” when there is an opportunity to help Can I guide you to a likely destination? I think you made a mistake! This place seems important – would you photograph it? Prototype: Opportunity Knocks

CARE Cognitive Assistance in Real-world Environments
17
Goal A home monitoring system that Assists user in performing activities of daily living Tracks activities, and provides prompts and warnings as needed Can be deployed in an ordinary home
18
Initial Application Accurate, automated ADL logs Changes in routine often precursor to illness, accidents Human monitoring intrusive & inaccurate Image Courtesy Intel Research
19
Technical Requirements Sensor hardware that can be practically deployed in a ordinary home Methods for activity tracking from sensor data Methods for automated prompting that consider Probability of user errors Probability of system errors Cost / benefit tradeoffs
20
Object-Based Activity Recognition Activities of daily living involve the manipulation of many physical objects Kitchen: stove, pans, dishes, … Bathroom: toothbrush, shampoo, towel, … Bedroom: linen, dresser, clock, clothing, … We can recognize activities from a time- sequence of object touches
21
Sensing Object Manipulation RFID: Radio- frequency identification tags Small Semi-passive Durable Cheap Near future: use products’ own tags
22
Wearable RFID Readers Designed by Intel Research Seattle, samples given to a few academic partners
23
Hidden Markov Model Trained on labeled data 10-fold cross validation 88% accuracy
24
Improving Robustness Tracking fails if novel (but reasonable) objects are used Solution: smooth parameters over abstraction hierarchy of object types
25
Experiment: ADL Form Filling Tagged real home with 108 tags 14 subjects each performed 12 of 14 ADLs in arbitrary order Given trace, recreate activities

Current / Future Directions More detailed sensor data Machine vision fused with direct sensing More detailed models of cognitive state Affect recognition Automated inventions Prompting & guidance Interaction: Audio? Visual? Tactile? Interactive design/testing with various target populations TBI Alzheimers Autism
