A demonstration of a conversationally guided smart wheelchair

Proceedings of the 9th international ACM SIGACCESS conference on Computers and accessibility, 2007
There is a substantial population of wheelchair users who do not have the motor capabilities needed to efficiently operate a power wheelchair on their own. Various interfaces have been devised including some simple voice controlled chairs that can understand simple commands. However, such systems are awkward and slow to use.

2021
In an attempt to answer the question of the proper methodology for African philosophy, I identify “Conversationalism” or “Conversational Thinking” as arguably the most developed and perhaps suitable methodology for African philosophy today.

Identity Statements and Conversationally Salient Content

Dialogue, 2014
In this paper, I argue that viewing Frege’s puzzle through a semantic lens results in the rejection of solutions to it on irrelevant grounds. As a result, I develop a solution to it that rests on a non-semantic sense of context-sensitivity. And I apply this picture to Frege’s puzzle when it arises through the use of identity statements designed to ...

Conversationally-inspired stylometric features for authorship attribution in instant messaging

These share many aspects with spoken conversations, but AA approaches did not take it into account so far.

Studies of actual conversational behaviours used to generate positive change in family therapy are relatively rare. In this study such conversational details were examined as they occurred in a single session of family therapy. With passages identified by family members as helpful, discursive methods of analysis (conversation analysis and critical ...
