Young Rwandans support bird conservation through mobile app recordings
A young tour guide and his group of student mentees are helping monitor bird species in Rwanda with the help of a mobile app, Mongabay contributor Mariam Kone reported. Joseph Desiré Dufitumukiza, who enjoys bird-watching, felt moved to take action after he read about the decline of native bird species in Rwanda, including the Maccoa […]

DynaMem: Online Dynamic Spatio-Semantic Memory for Open World Mobile Manipulation
Significant progress has been made in open-vocabulary mobile manipulation, where the goal is for a robot to perform tasks in any environment given a natural language description. However, most current systems assume a static environment, which limits the system's applicability in real-world scenarios where environments frequently change due to human intervention or the robot's own actions. In this work, we present DynaMem, a new approach to open-world mobile manipulation that uses a dynamic spa…

Quantifying the Impact of Motion on 2D Gaze Estimation in Real-World Mobile Interactions
Mobile gaze tracking involves inferring a user's gaze point or direction on a mobile device's screen from facial images captured by the device's front camera. While this technology inspires an increasing number of gaze-interaction applications, achieving consistent accuracy remains challenging due to dynamic user-device spatial relationships and varied motion conditions inherent in mobile contexts. This paper provides empirical evidence on how user mobility and behaviour affect mobile gaze trac…

Mobile application development is a fast-paced process where maintaining high-quality user experiences is crucial. Current bug reproduction methods predominantly depend on precise feature descriptions in bug reports. However, the growing complexity and dynamism of modern software systems pose significant challenges to this crucial quality assurance process, as ambiguous or incomplete steps-to-reproduce (S2Rs) in reports frequently impede effective debugging and maintenance. To address these cha…

M3Bench: Benchmarking Whole-body Motion Generation for Mobile Manipulation in 3D Scenes
We propose M3Bench, a new benchmark for whole-body motion generation in mobile manipulation tasks. Given a 3D scene context, M3Bench requires an embodied agent to reason about its configuration, environmental constraints, and task objectives to generate coordinated whole-body motion trajectories for object rearrangement. M3Bench features 30,000 object rearrangement tasks across 119 diverse scenes, providing expert demonstrations generated by our newly developed M3BenchMaker, an automatic data g…

Patient Domain Supervised Contrastive Learning for Lung Sound Classification Using Mobile Phone
Auscultation is crucial for diagnosing lung diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the limitations of traditional, in-person lung sound assessments. To overcome these issues, advancements in digital stethoscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) have led to the development of new diagnostic methods. In this context, our study aims to use smartphone microphones to record and analyze lung sounds. We faced two major challenges: the difference in audio style between electronic stethoscopes and…

What About Emotions? Guiding Fine-Grained Emotion Extraction from Mobile App Reviews
Opinion mining plays a vital role in analysing user feedback and extracting insights from textual data. While most research focuses on sentiment polarity (e.g., positive, negative, neutral), fine-grained emotion classification in app reviews remains underexplored. This paper addresses this gap by identifying and addressing the challenges and limitations in fine-grained emotion analysis in the context of app reviews. Our study adapts Plutchik's emotion taxonomy to app reviews by developing a str…

HACMony: Automatically Detecting Hopping-related Audio-stream Conflict Issues on HarmonyOS
HarmonyOS is emerging as a popular distributed operating system for diverse mobile devices. One of its standout features is app-hopping, which allows users to seamlessly transition apps across different HarmonyOS devices. However, when apps playing audio streams hop between devices, they can easily trigger Hopping-related Audio-stream Conflict (HAC) scenarios. Improper resolution of HAC will lead to significant HAC issues, which are harder to detect compared to single-device audio-stream confli…

Real-World Modeling of Computation Offloading for Neural Networks with Early Exits and Splits
We focus on computation offloading of applications based on convolutional neural network (CNN) from moving devices, such as mobile robots or autonomous vehicles, to MultiAccess Edge Computing (MEC) servers via a mobile network. In order to reduce overall CNN inference time, we design and implement CNN with early exits and splits, allowing a flexible partial or full offloading of CNN inference. Through real-world experiments, we analyze an impact of the CNN inference offloading on the total CNN …
