Sensory and chemical analysis of 1997 Oregon Pinot noir enzyme treated wines

Creator:: Goldberg, Naomi
Abstract:: Pinot noir has a reputation for lower color stability than other red wine varieties. Because it has relatively low anthocyanin and phenolic content and lacks acylated anthocyanin pigments compared to other red vinifera varieties, color extraction and stability are particularly important. Varying the processing during fermentation of red wine can...

Toward Machine Learning-Enabled Adaptivity for Humorous Robots

Creator:: Gray, Carson C.
Abstract:: Social robots benefit from a sense of humor, which requires the ability to recognize and adapt to human responses during playful interactions. Past work on humorous robots has classified audience responses with audio-based and preliminary visual-based methods following the joke punchline. Building on this progress, we conducted a survey of...

Multi-Dimensional Task Recognition for Human-Robot Teaming

Creator:: Baskaran, Prakash
Abstract:: Human-robot teams involve humans and robots collaborating to achieve tasks under various environmental conditions. Successful teaming requires robots to adapt autonomously in real-time to a human teammate's state. An important element of such adaptation is the ability for the robot to infer the tasks performed by their human teammates. Human-robot...
