- PublicationRestrictedEditorialWith this special issue we propose a field of enquiry on multidisciplinary approaches to Artificial Intelligence Tools. The importance of Artificial Intelligence Tools is in the quest to develop algorithms and systems with a human autonomous level of intelligence. To this aim, the International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI) — held every year, and at its 28th edition — is not only a testimonial of this quest, it is also a proof of this never-ending need to improve human–machine interactions.

; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Handwriting and Drawing are functional tasks involving physical and cognitive processes. Recently they have been investigated for detecting cognitive and motor disorders. In this work, handwriting/drawing features are investigated for identifying connections with personality traits. For this purpose, an experiment comprising seven handwriting/drawing tasks has been administrated to 78 young adults (mean age=24.6 ± 2.4 years) equally balanced by gender. Handwriting and Drawing activities - both on and close to the paper – had been recorded online through a digitizing tablet able to measure handwriting and drawing features such as pressure, speed, dimension, and inclination of each pen-stroke on the paper. Participants were asked to fill the Big Five Personality Questionnaire (BFQ) and according to the scores obtained for each of the 5 dimensions and 10 Big Five sub-dimensions, were partitioned into three categories: low, typical, and high. To evaluate whether the recorded handwriting/drawing features are connected with personality traits ANOVA repeated measures have been performed with gender and group category (low, typical, and high) as between and the listed handwriting/drawing features as within factors. The analyses show significant differences among low, typical and, high BFQ scores for the main Big Five dimensions and the ten Big Five sub-dimensions, indicating that personality traits can be revealed by a quantitative analysis of the proposed handwriting/drawing features.140 138 - PublicationOpen AccessElder user’s attitude toward assistive virtual agents: the role of voice and gender(2021-04)
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; This paper reports on experiments devoted to explore the role of specific attributes of humanoid virtual agents that may influence elderly users’ perception and attitude, determining their acceptance and adoption as assistive devices. In particular, it investigates elderly preference on agents’ gender and the role of the agents’ ability to use voice during the interaction. To this aim two different groups of seniors were involved in the experiments. The first group evaluated talking virtual agents, the second one the same virtual agents, but silenced. The data shows that elderly users, independently from their gender, prefer to interact with female agents, especially when they are able to talk to them, revealing the role played by the voice. Furthermore, it was found a significant effect of the elderly level of experience with technology: when interacting with agents with voice, elderly users with high technological experience were less interested and considered the proposed agents less attractive and appealing, while just the opposite occurred when interacting with silenced agents.115 80 - PublicationRestrictedInternational Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools(World Scientific Publishing Company, 2017-02)
