Introduction: "Treasonous Drift: Celebrity Reluctance as Privilege" -- 2. Inviting the Shadow to the Party: John Cusack and the Politics of Reluctance -- 3. Robert De Niro's (In)articulate Reluctance -- 4. "I'm Not Going to Be the Poster Boy for This. Although I am the Poster Boy": Daniel Craig's Reluctant Bonding -- 5. Conclusion: Reluctance's Other.In this book, Lorraine York examines the figure of the celebrity who expresses discomfort with his or her intense condition of social visibility. Bringing together the fields of celebrity studies and what Ann Cvetkovich has called the "affective turn in cultural studies", York studies the mixed affect of reluctance, as it is performed by public figures in the entertainment industries. Setting aside the question of whether these performances are offered "in good faith" or not, York theorizes reluctance as the affective meeting ground of seemingly opposite emotions: disinclination and inclination. The figures under study in this book are John Cusack, Robert De Niro, and Daniel Craig-three white, straight, cis-gendered-male cinematic stars who have persistently and publicly expressed a feeling of reluctance about their celebrity. York examines how the performance of reluctance, which is generally admired in celebrities, builds up cultural prestige that can then be turned to other purposes. .Popular cultureMotion picturesTelevision broadcastingActorsPopular CultureFilm and Television StudiesPerformers and PractitionersPopular culture.Motion pictures.Television broadcasting.Actors.Popular Culture.Film and Television Studies.Performers and Practitioners.305.520973York Lorraine Mary1958-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1667148BOOK9910300020703321Reluctant Celebrity4329777UNINA04640nam 22007095 450 991101596570332120250722130236.03-031-97359-310.1007/978-3-031-97359-8(CKB)39698367000041(MiAaPQ)EBC32227306(Au-PeEL)EBL32227306(DE-He213)978-3-031-97359-8(EXLCZ)993969836700004120250722d2025 u| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierTrustworthy Multimodal Intelligent Systems for Independent Living /by Md Zia Uddin1st ed. 2025.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Springer,2025.1 online resource (208 pages)Cognitive Technologies,2197-66353-031-97358-5 Acknowledgement -- Preface -- 1.

Real-Time Applications.This book is an essential guide for anyone interested in how artificial intelligence can enhance the quality of life for individuals who wish to maintain autonomy in their own homes. The author begins by introducing the reader to AI applications in independent living environments, such as smart assisted homes and AI-driven personalization, and thoughtfully explores the ethical challenges involved. With a strong focus on the intersection of technology and human needs, the book provides a detailed roadmap for building intelligent systems that promote safety, independence, and dignity, especially for elderly or vulnerable populations. The author offers both foundational knowledge and critical discussions around the opportunities and limitations of AI when applied to daily life scenarios. A major strength of the book lies in its thorough examination of multimodal systems. Readers are introduced to a rich array of sensor technologies including wearable devices, environmental sensors, vision-based systems, and sound-based inputs. These components are described not only in terms of their individual functionalities but also in how they interact and fuse data to support complex inference tasks. The text walks the reader through system architectures—centralized and distributed—while emphasizing data fusion, synchronization, and real-time versus batch processing. Through practical examples such as fall detection alerts and activity recognition, the book highlights the engineering challenges and solutions involved in building robust, responsive, and user-accepted assistive systems. Ethical deployment, user engagement, long-term maintenance, and family involvement are all addressed in ways that reflect real-world concerns and user diversity. The book also tackles some of the most pressing topics in AI today: data privacy, explainability, and trust. With an entire section dedicated to synthetic data, it explains how artificial data can be used to train effective models while safeguarding user privacy. .Cognitive Technologies,2197-6635Artificial intelligenceUser interfaces (Computer systems)Human-computer interactionMultiagent systemsMachine learningArtificial intelligenceData processingArtificial IntelligenceUser Interfaces and Human Computer InteractionMultiagent SystemsIntelligence InfrastructureMachine LearningData ScienceArtificial intelligence.User interfaces (Computer systems)Human-computer interaction.Multiagent systems.Machine learning.Artificial intelligenceData processing.Artificial Intelligence.User Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction.Multiagent Systems.Intelligence Infrastructure.Machine Learning.Data Science.006.3Uddin Zia1270975MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911015965703321Trustworthy Multimodal Intelligent Systems for Independent Living4409972UNINA
