A person, being by nature a social being, cannot live out of touch with other people: he must consult, share thoughts, feelings, empathize, seek understanding, etc. Communication is the channel of communication with other people. Communication is a complex process of human interaction. The representatives of various sciences: philosophers, psychologists, linguists, sociologists, cultural scientists, etc. deal with the problem of communication. According to scientists, two-thirds of human communication consists of speech. Linguists study the processes of speech formation and its perception; communicative attitudes; factors that make communication difficult and increase its effectiveness, etc.

This chapter discusses the domain of affective computing and reviews the area of affective tutoring systems: e-learning applications that possess the ability to detect and appropriately respond to the affective state of the learner. A significant proportion of human communication is non-verbal or implicit, and the communication of affective state provides valuable context and insights. Computers are for all intents and purposes blind to this form of communication, creating what has been described as an “affective gap.” Affective computing aims to eliminate this gap and to foster the development of a new generation of computer interfaces that emulate a more natural human-human interaction paradigm. The domain of learning is considered to be of particular note due to the complex interplay between emotions and learning. This is discussed in this chapter along with the need for new theories of learning that incorporate affect. Next, the more commonly applicable means for inferring affective state are identified and discussed. These can be broadly categorized into methods that involve the user’s input and methods that acquire the information independent of any user input. This latter category is of interest as these approaches have the potential for more natural and unobtrusive implementation, and it includes techniques such as analysis of vocal patterns, facial expressions, and physiological state. The chapter concludes with a review of prominent affective tutoring systems in current research and promotes future directions for e-learning that capitalize on the strengths of affective computing.

Listening Behavior

Listening to one another is essential to human-human interaction. In fact, we humans spend a substantial part of our day listening to other people, in private as well as in work settings. Attentive listening serves the function to gather information for oneself, but at the same time, it also signals to the speaker that he/she is being heard. To deduce whether our interlocutor is listening to us, we are relying on reading his/her nonverbal cues, very much like how we also use non-verbal cues to signal our attention. Such signaling becomes more complex when we move from dyadic to multi-party interactions. Understanding how humans use nonverbal cues in a multi-party listening context not only increases our understanding of human-human communication but also aids the development of successful human-robot interactions. This paper aims to bring together previous analyses of listener behavior analyses in human-human multi-party interaction and provide novel insights into gaze patterns between the listeners in particular. We are investigating whether the gaze patterns and feedback behavior, as observed in the human-human dialogue, are also beneficial for the perception of a robot in multi-party human-robot interaction. To answer this question, we are implementing an attentive listening system that generates multi-modal listening behavior based on our human-human analysis. We are comparing our system to a baseline system that does not differentiate between different listener types in its behavior generation. We are evaluating it in terms of the participant’s perception of the robot, his behavior as well as the perception of third-party observers.

Dromology is a speed that characterize progress. One of the affected is the culture of reading books. In the past people reading a book in the conventional manner, but in recent years, Internet technology has brought man reading a book in a different way, namely through the e-book. These changes ultimately led to a cultural shift in communication, especially in reading the book. The method used in this research is the study of literature. Results from the study showed that the reading culture (human interactions in a conventional book) has been turned into a reading culture that is synonymous with technology and also acceleration. Characteristics, sensations and experiences have changed. Technology (e-book) has become the new devices in cultured (communication / human interaction). Keywords: book, dromology, interpersonal communication, new culture

The concept of innovation is hard to define and, consequently, difficult to put into practice. It is argued that the actual complexity of innovation is too much taken for granted. In this article the focus is on analyzing the very complexity of innovation, its dynamics and potential for practice. Innovation is taken as linked to creativity, by the processes of learning, thinking and knowing. Henceforth the complex dynamics of innovation is a time-related process. The ensemble of two partners and their interaction is the basic dynamic unit for innovation. Modeling this unit within the new framework of complexity shows innovation to be a (self-) generative kind of process, depending on the context with its conditions. These may be called “the conditions of possibility for innovation”. These conditions, which are closely linked to facilitating the quality of interaction and relationships between the partners in interaction, within a community of interaction, may be shown to unravel innovation as a nonlinear generative process with potential nonlinear effects over time. Innovation is shown to be a complex process at both the individual and the collective level. The complexity perspective taken here shows the new way of thinking in complexity about the complex nature of innovation. Organizing complexity is the key for generating potential nonlinear effects of learning, thinking and knowing as emergent effects, thriving on human interaction. So, innovation is thriving on complexity, which, in turn, is thriving on interaction within generative relationships in communities of interaction. To describe how complexity may be ‘at work’ in organizations, and to organize it in a more successful way, a different framing of complexity and a corresponding new language of complexity is urgently needed, to turn complexity into effective complexity within complex organizations.

The most famous grand challenge for machine intelligence is human-like communication. This chapter explores two problem that need to be solved in order for machines to meet this challenge. The first is the technical difficulties posed by ordinary conversation. Production and comprehension in conversation are: multimodal, multi-person, incremental, concurrent, and jointly managed. The fine-grained complexity of these aspects of human interaction are beyond the current state of the art but should, ultimately, be tractable. The second set of problems are foundational. Models that assume human communication is underwritten by a shared language are unable to account for the ubiuquitous and systematic role misunderstanding plays in everyday interaction. As a result they also fail to explain how people adapt their language use to each new person and new situation in real time. This capability is essential for any machine that aims to engage constructively with human diversity.

Communicative Act

In everyday human communication, we often express our communicative intentions by manually pointing out referents in the material world around us to an addressee, often in tight synchronization with referential speech. This study investigated whether and how the kinematic form of index finger pointing gestures is shaped by the gesturer's communicative intentions and how this is modulated by the presence of concurrently produced speech. Furthermore, we explored the neural mechanisms underpinning the planning of communicative pointing gestures and speech. Two experiments were carried out in which participants pointed at referents for an addressee while the informativeness of their gestures and speech was varied. Kinematic and electrophysiological data were recorded online. It was found that participants prolonged the duration of the stroke and poststroke hold phase of their gesture to be more communicative, in particular when the gesture was carrying the main informational burden in their multimodal utterance. Frontal and P300 effects in the ERPs suggested the importance of intentional and modality-independent attentional mechanisms during the planning phase of informative pointing gestures. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the complex interplay between action, attention, intention, and language in the production of pointing gestures, a communicative act core to human interaction.

Human Communication

Computers communicate with humans in ways that increasingly resemble interactions between humans. Nuances in expression and responses to human behavior become more sophisticated, and they approach those of human-human interaction. The question arises whether we want systems eventually to behave like humans, or whether systems should, even when much more developed, still adhere to rules that are different from the rules governing interpersonal communication. The panel addresses this issue from various perspectives, eventually aiming to gain some insights into the question of the direction to which the development of machine-human communication and the etiquette implemented in the systems should move.

Abstract In Dialogic syntax (cf. Du Bois 2014; Tantucci et al. 2018), naturalistic interaction is inherently grounded in resonance, viz. the catalytic activation of affinities across turns (Du Bois and Giora 2014). Resonance occurs dynamically when interlocutors creatively coconstruct utterances that are formally and phonetically similar to the utterance of a prior speaker. In this study, we argue that such similarity can inform the machine learning prediction of linguistic and cross-cultural diversity. We compared two sets of 1,000 exchanges involving (dis)-agreement from the two balanced Callhome corpora of naturalistic interaction in Mandarin Chinese and American English. We found a correlation of overt use of pragmatic markers with resonance, indicating that priming does not occur as an exclusively implicit mechanism (as it is commonly held in the experimental literature e.g. Bock 1986; Bock et al. 2007), but naturalistically underpins dialogic engagement and cooperation among interactants. We fitted a mixed effects linear regression and a hierarchical clustering model to show that resonance occurs formally and functionally in different ways from one language to another. The applied results of this study can lead to a novel turn in AI research of conversational interfaces (McTear et al. 2016; Klopfenstein et al. 2017), as they reveal the fundamental role played cross-linguistically by resonance as a form of engagement of human-to-human interaction and the importance to address this mechanism in machine-to-human communication.

Abstract The paper presents the reliability estimate of the data transmission system. In practical communication solutions this type of system is widely used. A data transfer between the sender and the receiver is a complex process taking into account the human, communication system and threats. Between these components there are many relationships and dependencies. Current methods use a selective approach to this issue. Therefore, it was decided to develop and present a comprehensive assessment of the system reliability. This method has been verified in representative conditions using commercial and open source tools

Communication is a basic element of human interaction that allows one to establish, maintain and improve contracts with others because communication is done by someone, every day people often mistakenly think that communication is easy. But actually it is a complex process that involves behavior and relationships and allows individuals to associate with others and with their surroundings.As an effort to improve elderly health, it is necessary to continuously provide information to scientists, both individuals and groups so that the elderly can change from not knowing to knowing that the elderly can live healthy and productive lives, but with limited physical, psychological and mental needs approaches and methods so that messages are delivered more effectively.The method carried out on the elderly in providing information about the Healthy Lifestyle for the Elderly and the importance of eating fruit and vegetables through the approach of "therapeutic communication in the elderly". This activity was held on December  2018.The results are elements of a conducive situation, knowledge of the elderly, elderly attitudes towards the implementation of counseling, messages conveyed verbally and written after counseling with the therapeutic communication approach of the elderly, easier to understand the counseling material provided.The reduced understanding of the elderly in receiving information provided by the PSTW or the community is due to the reduced ability to listen to the elderly in providing counseling to improve the counseling method for the elderly so as not to be monotonous, so that the elderly easily understand the health information provided
