A Review of Personality in Human-Robot Interactions reviews the literature on personality and embodied physical action (EPA) robots. This monograph investigates the current state of human-robot personality research, discusses the unique role of personality in human-robot research, and offers guidance for future research. A Review of Personality in Human-Robot Interactions offers several contributions to the literature. First, it presents a conceptual integrated model of the literature on personality in human-robot literature. Second, it highlights four thrust areas in the literature. These areas include: (1) Human Personality and HRI, (2) Robot Personality and HRI, (3) Robot Personality and HRI, and (4) Factors Impacting Robot Personality. Third, it derives and presents major insights from the literature. Finally, it identifies gaps in the literature that need to be addressed. After the introduction, Section 2 presents the relevant literature including the inclusion and exclusion criteria for articles. Section 3 presents and discusses Thrust Area 1: Human Personality and HRI. In sections 4, 5, and 6, a similar discussion takes place for Thrust Area 2: Robot Personality and HRI, Thrust Area 3: Robot Personality and HRI, and Thrust Area 4: Factors Impacting Robot Personality, respectively. Section 7 follows with a discussion on the way forward, focusing on the opportunities for personality research in human-robot interaction.

Technology is breaking politics-what can be done about it? Artificially intelligent "bot" accounts attack politicians and public figures on social media. Conspiracy theorists publish junk news sites to promote their outlandish beliefs. Campaigners create fake dating profiles to attract young voters. We live in a world of technologies that misdirect our attention, poison our political conversations, and jeopardize our democracies. With massive amounts of social media and public polling data, and in-depth interviews with political consultants, bot writers, and journalists, Philip N. Howard offers ways to take these "lie machines" apart. Lie Machines is full of riveting behind-the-scenes stories from the world's biggest and most damagingly successful misinformation initiatives-including those used in Brexit and U.S. elections. Howard not only shows how these campaigns evolved from older propaganda operations but also exposes their new powers, gives us insight into their effectiveness, and explains how to shut them down.

Communicating archaeological heritage at the institutional level reflects on the current status of archeology, and a lack of communication between archaeologists and the general public only serves to widen the gap of understanding. As holders of this specific scientific expertise, effective openness and communication is essential to understanding how a durable future can be built through comprehension of the past and the importance of heritage sites and collections. Developing Effective Communication Skills in Archaeology is an essential research publication that examines archeology as a method for present researchers to interact and communicate with the past, and as a methods for identifying the overall trends in the needs of humanity as a whole. Presenting a vast range of topics such as digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and heritage awareness, this book is essential for archaeologists, journalists, heritage managers, sociologists, educators, anthropologists, museum curators, historians, communication specialists, industry professionals, researchers, academicians, and students.

Speech analytics utilizes speech recognition, predictive analytics, and authentication of the data streams while assessing customers' complaints in real-time. Assessment occurs through the collection and analysis of current data mixed with historical facts to determine patterns and to predict trends. In the current research, the authors have chosen to focus primarily on speech analytics, serving as an umbrella term encompassing speech analytics, audio-mining technologies. The use of speech analytics typically refers to a broader range of speech products, such as analyzing voice identification, emotion detection, and phonetics/speech analysis. Speech Analytics for Actionable Insights proceeds with the discussion of an overview of enterprise needs for speech analytics, a brief history of the speech recognition, the infrastructure of phonetic versus transcription approaches and real-time versus post-call solutions, major speech analytics vendors and their features, applications found within case studies, and recommendations and guidance. The primary goal of this monograph is to help business decision-makers educate themselves on the burgeoning field of speech analytics as well as to understand how it impacts the broader enterprise landscape.
