Designing Chatbots to Support Victims and Survivors of Domestic Abuse
Objective: Domestic abuse cases have risen significantly over the last four years, in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges for victims and survivors in accessing support. In this study, we investigate the role that chatbots - Artificial Intelligence (AI) and rule-based - may play in supporting victims/survivors in situations such as these or where direct access to help is limited. Methods: Interviews were conducted with experts working in domestic abuse support services and orga…

Evolving Assembly Code in an Adversarial Environment
In this work, we evolve assembly code for the CodeGuru competition. The competition's goal is to create a survivor -- an assembly program that runs the longest in shared memory, by resisting attacks from adversary survivors and finding their weaknesses. For evolving top-notch solvers, we specify a Backus Normal Form (BNF) for the assembly language and synthesize the code from scratch using Genetic Programming (GP). We evaluate the survivors by running CodeGuru games against human-written winnin…

Band of Brothers
Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as their journals and letters, Band of Brothers chronicles the experiences of these men from paratrooper training in Georgia through the end of the war. As an elite rifle company parachuting into Normandy early on D-Day morning, participants in the Battle of the Bulge, and witness to the horrors of war, the men of Easy knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear - and became the stuff of legend. Based on Stephen E. Ambrose's ac…

The Informativeness of Combined Experimental and Observational Data under Dynamic Selection
This paper addresses the challenge of estimating the Average Treatment Effect on the Treated Survivors (ATETS; Vikstrom et al., 2018) in the absence of long-term experimental data, utilizing available long-term observational data instead. We establish two theoretical results. First, it is impossible to obtain informative bounds for the ATETS with no model restriction and no auxiliary data. Second, to overturn this negative result, we explore as a promising avenue the recent econometric developm…

Validation of Consumer-grade Digital Camera-based Human Activity Evaluation for Upper Limb Exercises and Development of a Therapist-guided, Automated Telerehabilitation Framework and Platform for Stroke Rehabilitation
Timely and adequate rehabilitation is critical in facilitating post-stroke recovery. However, the organization and delivery of rehabilitation are resource-demanding, and are only available to approximately 25% of stroke survivors in low-to-middle-income countries. Improving access to stroke rehabilitation services through innovative solutions is therefore urgently required. Tele-rehabilitation, which transits care to home- and community settings, has emerged as a promising solution. However, cu…
