AI assistive technology for extending sighted guiding

Abstract

Prior work on AI-enabled assistive technology (AT) for people with visual impairments (VI) has treated navigation largely as an independent activity. Consequently, much effort has focused on providing individual users with wayfinding details about the environment, including information on distances, proximity, obstacles, and landmarks. However, independence is also achieved by people with VI through interacting with others, such as through sighted guiding in navigation. Drawing on the concept of interdependence, this research aims to (1) present an exemplary case of interdependence and draw out important implications for designing AI-enabled AT; (2) propose and evaluate a prototype that enhances social interactions in sighted guiding and aids navigation.

Analysis of Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing Significance as Expert Systems Support for E-Health Using Pre-Train Deep Learning Models

“…NLP-assistive communication aids. Advances in supercomputing and natural language processing have enabled the delivery of more precise and personalized healthcare services to patients thanks to faster digital communications devices [40]. Natural language processing is an example of evidence base application supporting the adoption of virtual healthcare there by reducing healthcare costs while maintaining and improving the quality of care.…”
