In this talk, I present a human-centered approach to designing AI explanations that support understanding, confidence and actionability in real-world settings.

In VERA, learners build and simulate conceptual models of ecological systems, investigating complex scientific phenomena. Prior work has focused on cognitive AI coaches that analyze user data to classify user types, predict learning stages, and provide personalized feedback. While these coaches provide insights into user performance, evaluating user models with machine learning approaches did not provide accurate results. Moreover, they often place less emphasis on the broader practices that make science learning meaningful. Inquiry-based learning requires learners to actively engage in scientific practices, integrate crosscutting concepts, and apply domain knowledge through guided exploration and scaffolding. Framing AI as a social agent, my research investigates how pedagogical AI agents can facilitate richer inquiry experiences by supporting students\u0027 sensemaking, iterative model refinement, and reflective reasoning.

Effectively \u0022doing\u0022 CBPR involves a substantial time commitment, often requiring researchers to spend years building the rapport and trust necessary for a mutually beneficial relationship. This collaborative process frequently encounters tensions rooted in mismatches between academic expectations, research ideals, institutional requirements, and community needs.

Yet, many AI efforts struggle in long term deployment, not because of technical limitations, but because challenges related to people, communities, and real world contexts in which they operate. This talk presents a people first, socio technical approach to designing and deploying AI systems with humans in the loop. By integrating community engaged research with optimization and agent based modeling, the work demonstrates how participatory design reshapes data practices, modeling assumptions, and evaluation criteria. Drawing on deployments in food access planning, decentralized cold chain logistics, and AI technologies designed with seniors, the talk highlights how real world constraints and community knowledge surface critical design and deployment considerations often invisible in lab based workflows. The talk concludes with open research directions for building people centered AI infrastructures through interdisciplinary collaboration, translation to impact, and long-term stewardship.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBIO: Rosemarie Santa Gonz\u00e1lez, Ph.D. is a Georgia T ech Research Faculty working at the intersection of AI, optimization, and people centered system design.

Drawing on my research in Kenya, I will present two projects that show how accompaniment offers another way of approaching design, one that prioritizes listening, mutual understanding, and long-term impact over problem solving and the development of novel technologies. The first project uses an HCD approach to develop an intervention that supports Kenyan youth with Type 1 diabetes in managing their condition. Although our original goal was to create a mobile health (mHealth) application, by relinquishing control of this intention we made space for unexpected outcomes to emerge, including a paper-based logbook and stronger community connections among participants. The second project is a Michigan State University course that connects students with peers at Kenya\u2019s Egerton University to collaborate on design projects. The course activities turn the gaze on us; that is, MSU students became participants of inquiry themselves, reflecting on their own assumptions rather than designing interventions to address perceived problems in Kenya. I conclude by emphasizing the importance of adopting design processes that acknowledge both the possibilities and limits of design, and that support more reciprocal and just collaborations between the Global North and South.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EBIO: Dr. Susan Wyche is an Associate Professor in the Department of Media and Information at Michigan State University and a faculty affiliate of the university\u2019s African Studies Center.

Over five years, we built this participatory research platform with employees, focusing on critical data literacy, career development, and the role of data in generative AI training. \u0026nbsp;Data skills are essential across a growing range of professions, driving demand for data-centric curricula in formal and informal learning environments. Yet most educational programs fail to meet the needs of the largest group affected by this change: working adults with limited technical backgrounds. To bridge this gap and create a platform for studying data education and the data-driven workplace, we developed GT DataWorks\u2014a data services provider embedded at Georgia Tech that executes data projects for external and internal clients. Our work explores how real-world data practices influence the preparation of datasets that fuel generative AI systems and highlights the ethical implications of such work. This talk will provide an overview of this hybrid outreach and research platform, emphasizing how employees transitioned from research subjects to active research contributors, shaping our understanding of data\u0027s role in everyday workplaces and AI training.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBIO: Dr. Betsy DiSalvo is a professor in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology.

In particular, he can develop systems that enable remote monitoring and diagnostics for more pervasive healthcare. Alex leverages sensing, signal processing, and fabrication techniques to design, deploy, and evaluate novel sensing technologies. Originally a musician, Alex became fascinated by how he could capture and manipulate sounds through analog hardware and digital signal processing, which led him back to his hometown (Concord, NC). Alex completed his BS at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2014 and his Ph.D. at Cornell University in 2021 (advised by Professor Tanzeem Choudhury). Alex then became the resident Research Scientist for the Precision Behavioral Health Initiative at Cornell Tech (NYC) until the fall of 2022, when he joined the School of Interactive Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He is currently a faculty member in HCI, Robotics, and human-centered computing with affiliations in the Institute of People and Technology and the Institute of Bioengineering and Bioscience.

While these human relationships are important for establishing empathetic and ethical care, they limit the extent to which healthcare can be accessed and delivered. Ubiquitous technologies like smartphones and wearables can augment traditional healthcare workflows by increasing people\u0027s access to health-monitoring tools. Rather than viewing healthcare as a reactive endeavor, we can work towards proactive approaches like preventative screening, continuous disease management, and informative visualizations that empower all stakeholders to make informed and timely decisions. To achieve this vision, my research group applies signal processing and machine learning on sensor data to measure vital signs and infer symptoms. Since these technologies may sometimes be intended for people without medical training, my group also explores how such tools should be designed to achieve clinically relevant goals. In this talk, I will highlight three lines of research: (1) acoustic cardiac sensing with earbuds, (2) accurate and informative menstrual health tracking, and (3) chatbots for clinical pre-consultation.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EBio: Alex Mariakakis is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto.

While these human relationships are important for establishing empathetic and ethical care, they limit the extent to which healthcare can be accessed and delivered. Ubiquitous technologies like smartphones and wearables can augment traditional healthcare workflows by increasing people\u0027s access to health-monitoring tools. Rather than viewing healthcare as a reactive endeavor, we can work towards proactive approaches like preventative screening, continuous disease management, and informative visualizations that empower all stakeholders to make informed and timely decisions. To achieve this vision, my research group applies signal processing and machine learning on sensor data to measure vital signs and infer symptoms. Since these technologies may sometimes be intended for people without medical training, my group also explores how such tools should be designed to achieve clinically relevant goals. In this talk, I will highlight three lines of research: (1) acoustic cardiac sensing with earbuds, (2) accurate and informative menstrual health tracking, and (3) chatbots for clinical pre-consultation.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Alex Mariakakis is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto.

Although low-cost, commercially available environmental sensors have created new opportunities for underserved areas, much of the research using these sensors is conducted in isolation and focused on small-scale studies. In this talk, I will outline two case studies that aim to address these shortcomings \u2013 1) Eclipse: a 118-node air quality sensor network co-designed with city and community partners in Chicago, and 2) Noondawind: a sensing and data integration platform co-designed with Native American Nations to monitor environmental factors affecting the growth of Manoomin (wild rice), a vital cultural and economic resource for the Ojibwe people. I will discuss three key stages of these projects: hardware design, strategic sensor placement within urban spaces, and the creation of data visualizations. I will reflect on the successes, challenges, and lessons learned throughout these projects, emphasizing technical limitations, data sovereignty, and respect for local knowledge.

Research indicates that effective hand hygiene by healthcare staff is one of the most effective ways of reducing the potential for HAI occurrence. Although robust hand hygiene protocols and educational campaigns have established hand hygiene as a cornerstone of HAI prevention, observed compliance rates in environments of care (EoC) remain low (typically 60-70%). This shortfall reflects a complex interplay of behavioral and environmental factors. Human-centered environmental affordances offer a promising avenue for reinforcing reliable compliance. However, the impacts of environment on HHC and nurses\u2019 experience has been underexplored. In this talk, I will share a series of studies based on interdisciplinary collaborations that combined expertise in evidence-based design, human factors, nursing, and industrial engineering. We evaluated how spatial configuration of nursing unit, patient rooms, and hand sanitizer dispenser placement influence compliance rates and nurse experience. Finally, I will discuss future directions of integrating big data analytics and machine learning approaches to predict hand hygiene behavior and develop data-driven interventions to better support patient and staff safety.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Dr. Hui Cai is a Professor of the School of Architecture at Georgia Tech.

The devices we use every day become normal to us. However, it can be important to sometimes step back and unpack the sense of normalcy that gets attached to our technologies. Some ideas from the field of philosophy of technology can be useful for articulating the details of our relationships to our devices and inspecting these relationships for places where problems can pop up. Here in this talk, I introduce some concepts from a growing school of thought called \u201cpostphenomenology,\u201d a practical perspective for describing the details of user experience, and one that has found wide interdisciplinary application. In particular, I focus on the potential for this perspective to help draw out how our relationships with technologies can at times capture, direct, or divert our attention in problematic ways.

As an animal-centered computing practitioner, I aim to use digital technologies to extend the ability of caretakers to monitor the health of animals under their care and the effectiveness of the animals\u2019 enrichment programs over time. Due to their users\u0027 unique behaviors and environments, however, these systems are subject to numerous design constraints. We must create each new system with a high level of physical ruggedness in mind to survive animal interactions while preserving the safety of our users. In this talk, I will present an ongoing project that utilizes two custom-designed instrumented enrichment objects to quantify animal interactions with the devices. I will address some of the key design constraints involved when creating the devices and present the results of a pilot study that compared the intensity and duration of animal-user interactions with the devices.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EShort bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Charles Ramey is a 5th year Computer Science Ph.D. Student advised by Professors Melody Jackson and Thad Starner.

These challenges have become more pronounced with the emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies like large language models (LLMs), which can generate low-quality information \u2014 such as inaccurate or biased information \u2014 with high scalability and persuasiveness. Rather than approaching harm in a vacuum by measuring text alone, my research adopts a human-centered approach to understanding and contextualizing the perceived harms of using AI to meet informational needs.

Despite this reality, Black women reportedly use formal mental health support tools less frequently than their White counterparts due to barriers such as cost, access, and a lack of culturally competent resources. Digital platforms offer a promising solution to address these barriers. While the use of digital platforms for supporting perinatal mental health has been explored in HCI and CSCW, most evaluations focus on White and Asian women. My work addresses this gap by examining perinatal Black women\u2019s use of, perspectives on, and engagement with digital platforms for managing stress and well-being. In this talk, I present empirical studies exploring how socio-cultural factors shape their preferences for digital mental health platforms. I will also discuss future directions for integrating a culturally tailored framework into digital mental health interventions aiming to improve engagement within this population.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EShort bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Vanessa Oguamanam is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science working in the Wellness Technology Lab under the supervision of Dr. Andrea Parker.

Research Overview: Our research idea is to study the social effects of fostering creative, public experiences with real-time, sustainability-related data on campus with the long-term goal of learning what a resource-conscious campus community might look like. Our approach will be to develop an interactive data visualization prototype for the Georgia Tech Library Media Bridge that will visualize real-time water use data in 47 student housing buildings. This visualization will serve as an adaptable research instrument through which to explore the potential for public experiences with data.

Research overview: The rise of design and fabrication tools like 3D printers and microcontrollers has expanded maker education from K-12 to higher education. However, access remains a challenge, especially for underprivileged youth. Teachers often struggle to lead maker-centered activities due to a lack of design and engineering expertise, which particularly affects students in low-resource districts where school activities may be their only exposure to creative learning. To address this, we propose developing a web-based AI system that empowers teachers to lead kinetic design and engineering projects. Through participatory design with experienced teachers, the system will assist with project design and offer customized instructional guidance by identifying challenging steps and potential recovery solutions and adapting content to meet teachers\u2019 needs.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EProposal title: Democratizing Creative Agency Through Interactive Technologies and Music Education:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003ETeam members: Moeiini Reilly, research technologist, GTRI, and human-centered computing Ph.D. student with the School of Interactive Computing; Paul Brancato, research engineer, GTRI; Nicole Brancato, composer and music educator. Research overview: Artistic computing learning environments play a crucial role in promoting equity and inclusion in computing by offering diverse opportunities to learn computational thinking through culturally relevant programming. Despite advances in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) education, there remains a significant gap in understanding how learners interact with and design creatively in these constructionist settings, as well as how the materiality of computational artifacts influences learning processes, meaning-making, and creative agency. This research seeks to build a framework for centering social and cultural dimensions of artistic learning within computational environments augmented by low-cost, technology-enhanced music education.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EProposal Title: Fostering the Landscape of \u201cCritical Computing\u201d at Georgia Tech:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Team Members: Richmond Wong, assistant professor, School of Literature, Media, and Communication; Heidi Biggs, assistant professor, School of Literature, Media, and Communication; Carl DiSalvo, professor, School of Interactive Computing; Betsy DiSalvo, professor, School of Interactive Computing.

We seek to build a transdisciplinary critical computing research community at Georgia Tech spanning computing, the social sciences, humanities, and related disciplines. Through a working group and symposium series, we will explore the methods, concepts, theories, history, funding, and evaluation of critical computing research. We will investigate approaches to critical computing research that foreground issues of social values and ethics, engage in just and equitable research approaches, explore new forms of communication and expression, and seek to pursue meaningful alternatives to the status quo.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EFunding recipients will present their research projects.

This talk will review 30 years of effort in sign language recognition and working with the Deaf community and will feature several upcoming products such as PopSignAI, a smartphone game that helps hearing parents of Deaf infants learn sign language.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Thad Starner is a Georgia Tech Professor and a wearable computing pioneer.

Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, heatwaves, heavy precipitation, and flooding are projected to rise in their incidence and overall severity over the coming decades due to climate change. Meanwhile, industries operating in ports are polluting the air and soil of nearby neighborhoods, and the negative health effects caused by industrial pollution can be exacerbated or redistributed by hurricanes and flooding. Through Youth Advocacy for Resilience to Disasters (YARDs), we seek to engage youth living in frontline communities in disaster resilience planning through mapmaking and advocacy through a cross-curricular STEAM program designed for middle school students. We designed a youth program because families are often busy with other activities, care work, and their employment that they can be difficult to engage; however, youth can be a gateway to access these busy families. Research has shown that engaging youth in advocacy can enhance disaster resilience. From 2021 to 2023, we implemented a 14-session curriculum that educates and empowers middle-school-aged participants to advocate for infrastructural improvements that can benefit themselves and their neighbors by learning about disaster resilience from the perspective of environmental justice and equity. Students then learn about the importance of civics and understanding power and representation in their community. The next module focuses on MapSpot, virtual mapmaking, and data to understand the assets and vulnerabilities in their communities related to disasters and climate. They then learn about green and gray infrastructure solutions to disasters. Finally, they develop an action plan and present their plan to local leaders (political and civic, including their families) that they have identified in their community to advocate for change. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis curriculum has been piloted as an after-school program at a Title I school in Savannah and Chatham County\u0027s Public School System in the Fall of 2022 and twice as a summer camp in the summers of 2022 and 2023 at the Georgia Tech Savannah campus. Most recently, we ran the program as a 2-day camp in Cape Town, South Africa. This transdisciplinary and cross-curricular program includes elements and team members from diverse disciplines including sociology, urban planning, civil engineering, and digital media studies, as well as civic partners.

Recording, modeling, and augmenting such physical interactions are fundamental to understanding human behaviors, promoting health monitoring and delivery, and fostering human-centric intelligent system designs. However, challenges arise from the pervasive and diverse nature of physical interactions: they occur across the human body at extended duration, are subjectively perceived by individuals and involve diverse input-output modalities. Practically deployable integrated interfaces for physical interactions are required to be scalable, seamlessly integrated, robust, and adaptable.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003EIn this talk, I will present three integrated textile-based systems for the recording, modeling, and augmentation of tactile interactions. First, I will introduce digital machine knitted full-sized tactile sensing garments for learning human-environment interactions.

From wearable devices to ubiquitous technologies for classrooms and homes, from individual focused to societal and structural interventions, from studying to designing to deploying, the research of my group has spanned a variety of approaches to understanding and supporting the neurodivergent experience. Throughout this journey, the importance of long-term, sustained partnerships has been paramount. This approach ensures that the technologies we create are deeply relevant to the contexts in which they are deployed, while also addressing the ethical challenges that come with designing for vulnerable and minoritized populations. Community-engaged research is messy and fraught with systemic barriers, including publication biases and the complexities of maintaining relationships over time. Despite these challenges, the outcomes have been profound, with technological innovations leading to real-world impact.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EIn this talk, I will explore the trajectory of this work, emphasizing key milestones in the development of autism and ADHD technologies.

For example, in 2009, 1 in 11 children in Ethiopia died before their 5th birthday and 1 in 146 women died due to pregnancy complications. These statistics became personal to Dr. Gleason when, in 2009, his daughter Kennedy, whom he and his wife were adopting from Ethiopia, passed away before we could bring her home. This loss birthed in him a newfound passion to help address global health equity and wellness, that has reshaped his research, teaching, and service activities. Maternal and neonatal mortality rates in Ethiopia are among the highest in the world. In this talk, Dr. Gleason will present some of his recent research toward development of novel biomedical devices aimed at early assessment of risk of cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) and preeclampsia (PE) in pregnant women in Ethiopia and pilot results for using a wearable device for continuous monitoring of neonates, during the first 7 days of life, in an Ethiopian Neonatal Intensive Care Unit setting. Dr. Gleason will also share his vision as the new initiative lead for Global Health Equity and Wellness in IPaT. \u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Rudy Gleason is a professor in the George W.

Dr. Gleason\u2019s research program has two key and distinct research aims. The first research aim is to quantify the link between biomechanics, mechanobiology, and tissue growth and remodeling in diseases of the vasculature and other soft tissues. The second research aim is to translate engineering innovation to combat global health disparities and foster sustainable development in low-resource settings around the world.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E---\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIPaT\u0027s fall 2024 lunch lecture calendar and lecture\/talk (day of) streaming info can be found here: \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/research.gatech.edu\/ipat\/lunch-lectures\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003Ehttps:\/\/research.gatech.edu\/ipat\/lunch-lectures\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe IPaT: GVU Lunch Lecture Series is free and features guest speakers presenting on topics related to people-centered technologies and their impact on society.

While some might suggest labor is in a perpetual state of change, the accelerated development and deployment of artificially intelligent (AI) systems within workplaces is set to meaningfully reshape the livelihoods of millions of workers across industries for decades to come. Though proponents see potential in automation as a means to rid work of monotony and boost productivity, many workers and worker advocates view AI as an existential threat to \u201cgood jobs\u201d or those that provide meaningful employment, adequate pay, and necessary health benefits. This disconnect is rooted in a fundamental distance between those whose interests are prioritized in the development process and those who end up using the technology. Although the fields of computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) and human-computer interaction (HCI) have a legacy of exploring methods of promoting worker participation in the design of particular workplace systems, less is understood about how participatory research approaches could be applied across the technology lifecycle\u2014from procurement and integration to governance\u2014to increase value for those on the frontlines. In this talk, Fox will outline the concept of \u201cworker-centered design,\u201d an approach that emphasizes the well-being and input of employees, aiming to enhance not only productivity but also cooperation, autonomy, and fulfillment. Drawing on ongoing ethnographic and design research, she will discuss three distinct cases in sectors facing different forms of technological change: 1) waste management, which is seeing a rise in robotics for sorting and disinfection; 2) public transportation, for which autonomous vehicle technologies are being developed; and 3) hospitality, which regularly employs algorithmic management. Across these sites, Fox describes labor-aligned efforts to evaluate the impacts of AI technologies on work practices and to develop methods and tools to ensure that working people have a voice in the creation, implementation, and governance of technologies in their workplaces.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003ESarah Fox is an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the Human Computer Interaction Institute, where she directs the Tech Solidarity Lab.

NCIM, which includes AI-generated deepfakes and \u201crevenge porn\u201d, is shared widely online, violating people\u2019s right to privacy, autonomy, and dignity. NCIM is enabled by three enduring characteristics: 1) rights to freedom of expression; 2) an Internet that was designed to be free and open; 3) long-standing gender inequalities. We introduce the metaphor of the sociotechnical stack \u2013 a conceptual framework that maps the technical stack to its corresponding social impacts \u2013 to combat NCIM. \u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EOur work targets two points of intervention: deterring non-consensual posting before it happens and taking it down after it\u2019s posted.

Hands-Off requires recipients of an image to perform a hand gesture in the air, above their phone, to view the image \u2013 making simultaneous screenshotting difficult. On the takedown side, we evaluated the efficacy of takedown requests sent by victims or their representatives to technology companies.

While discourses of \u201chow to start a startup\u201d courses, whether formal university offerings or Startup Weekend style community events, address products and users in ways that borrow quite a bit from HCI and HCD, this talk will show how design and HCI can drive multiple aspects of startups \u2014 \u0026nbsp;including the development of business models, employee policies, pricing strategy, and more \u2014 to help create companies that are less extractive and more beneficial to society at large.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nFor this talk, I will provide concrete examples of tools that can help translate social, environmental, ethical, and critical perspectives into technical designs.

T2DM is irreversible, and when left untreated, can increase risk for several health complications, including nerve damage, heart disease, stroke, and negative mental health impacts. To this end, the early disease stages of T2DM, i.e., pre-diabetes, are reversible and the later stages are treatable. Accordingly, early screening, detection, and treatment are critical to reducing the rates of progression to T2DM and mitigating the adverse effects of T2DM among those who already have it. Yet, in the United States, T2DM can often go undetected until its later stages, with each missed detection stage leading to worsening health outcomes and increasing financial burden. Further, people from disadvantaged and underserved groups often face lower access to care, leading to more missed detection and greater downstream disease burden. In this research, our goal is to build a mathematical model to optimize investments across screening and treatment resources while reducing disparities across disadvantaged populations. To do so, we take a novel, zoomed-out approach that models the entire pipeline of disease management from screening to treatment, rather than treating each piece in isolation. Crucially, our modeling will consider how the prevalence, progression, screening, and treatment of T2DM disease across different subpopulations will impact future disease progression in these populations, along with their resource needs. This mathematical framework can inform health policy on how to allocate limited resources across a heterogeneous population and provide insight on modeling of interventions in other chronic diseases with similar progression characteristics to T2DM, thereby reducing disparities in long-term health outcomes across populations while lowering the need for costly\u2013\u2014and for many unaffordable\u2014treatments over time.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBIO\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nGian-Gabriel Garcia is an Assistant Professor in the H.

Where technology can mimic cadence, linguistic syntax, and register in many languages, it is still the timbre of the voice that eludes recreation. Studying through a critical lens what is human about the human voice is necessary to enhancing our understanding of the limits of voice technology. This year, thanks to the IPaT:GVU research and engagement grant, I have undertaken an initiative to establish an innovative Interdisciplinary Voice Studies Lab called the Voice+ Research Lab housed in the School of Modern Languages that aims to explore the multifaceted nature of human voice expression endeavors to advance our understanding of the voice\u0027s role in human interaction, artistic expression, and social dynamics, with implications for fields ranging from linguistics and psychology to education and performance studies. Through a combination of collaborative research, interdisciplinary discussions, and student and faculty engagement, the lab seeks to unravel the intricacies of vocal communication in various contexts, including speech, singing, and nonverbal vocalizations. Key objectives include investigating the physiological and psychological mechanisms underlying voice production, analyzing cultural and societal influences on vocal behavior, and developing novel methodologies for voice analysis and visualization. By fostering collaboration among experts from different fields, this project has started an invited speaker series and a student research symposium, created a website, and has plans to expand to include a podcast, a brown bag research presentation series, a cross-disciplinary reading group, and eventually an edited volume.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBIO\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nAndrea Jonsson, associate professor of French and French program director at the Georgia Institute of Technology, received a Bachelor of Music Performance from McGill University and a PhD in French and Francophone Studies from the University of Pittsburgh.

Unfortunately, these dogs must undergo a rigorous and costly training process, after which they only have about 8 \u201cworking years\u201d. This results in a substantial problem with availability, and only a small percentage of BVI individuals who could benefit from having a dog guide are able to access them. To address this issue, we are developing a robot that could carry out the tasks of a traditional dog guide, with added capabilities. Our current work is focused on design research, with the goal of identifying specific functional and aesthetic design concepts to implement into a basic quadruped robot for an optimal blend of familiarity, innovation, and practicality. We have collected data through interviews and surveys to answer design questions pertaining to the appearance, texture, features, and method of controlling and communicating with the robot. These data inform us on directions for prototyping, enabling us to narrow in on designs that effectively meet the needs of BVI individuals.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBIOS\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nAviv Cohav (he\/they) is a MS student in Computational Science and Engineering at Georgia Tech.

Classical ballet is a critical piece of this question, given it is a synthesis of technical precision and profound creative expression. Many artistic movement domains are steeped in tradition but are ripe for innovation, and these invite us to explore the potential of AI to transcend the subjective and venture into the quantifiable realms of performance and wellness. To initiate this exploration, we are convening a summit from May 30-31, 2024, to begin a conversation on the way we transform the subjective assessments of artistic human performance into objective, quantifiable processes. Our workshop, hosted by the Georgia Institute of Technology, brings together researchers from industry and academia to harness AI to enhance human performance and wellness, with the goal of addressing the challenge of quantifying artistry. The potential ramifications for this work extend well beyond dance. As sports analytics have reshaped our understanding of athletic prowess, a similar approach to dance could redefine our comprehension of human movement, with implications for healthcare, construction, rehabilitation, and even aging as we know it.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBIO\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nMilka Trajkova, Ph.D., is a Research Scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology working in the Expressive Machinery Lab.

This situation creates a need for new tools and methods for conducting peer reviews. As the peer review process is well structured and includes an analysis of a set of components (title, keywords, IMRaD structure, length, clarity, and innovation), a peer review is an excellent candidate for AI training, addressing topics such as duplicate submissions, self-plagiarism, incomplete abstracts, IMRaD evaluation, and standardization of scores for the final selection of abstracts. This research proposes to implement such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models (LLMs) for prototyping an opensource LLM, trained with information acquired through the Computational Design Conference organizations. The outcome will be a set of automatically produced reviews that will be evaluated and scored by SME.

Emerging technologies like conversational AI, augmented and virtual reality, and smart homes have all been described as potentially revolutionary technologies in care work, intended to automate and transform the overall care experience for caregivers and care recipients. However, such promises have yet to translate to successful deployments as these technological innovations come up against socioculturally situated traditions of care work that prioritize human connection and interaction. In this talk, I will share empirical studies looking into how formal care workers (in clinical settings) and informal care workers (in home settings) reconcile technology utilization in care work with sociocultural expectations and norms that dissuade them.

For instance, a mapmaker may divide counties into high, middle, and low life expectancy. Yet, different binning methods (e.g., natural breaks, quantile) yield different groupings, wherein the same data can be presented differently depending on how it is split into bins. This flexibility can sometimes be (mis)used by journalists to present (false) narratives or by fund managers to (inappropriately) seek additional funding. To mitigate against these dangers, we built a new geospatial visualization tool, Exploropleth. This system lets users upload their own data and interact with the outputs of 18+ established data binning methods, and subsequently compare, customize, and export custom maps.

For example, large language model chatbots, online support communities, and personalized resources from search engines may all help an individual to contextualize their experiences of distress and find life-saving support. Technology-mediated support is thus often framed as a powerful means to reduce widespread mental health disparities and close care gaps. However, my research has demonstrated that offline inequities are paralleled in online contexts, further making it difficult for marginalized people to access care. The ability to meet diverse needs with technology-mediated support requires a deep understanding of how social inequities and technology design may together impact lived experiences with distress and care. In this talk, I present my work leveraging computational and qualitative approaches to understand these sociotechnical inequities, across diverse geographic contexts and online platforms.

Further, I ask how designing with ephemeral materials contributes to\u202fqueering\u202fhuman computer interaction (Queer HCI), deepening our understandings of tangible embodied interaction, and inspiring alternative interpretations of history. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EFoley Scholars finalists present their research projects: Karthik Seetharama Bhat, Arpit Narechania, Sachin Pendse, and Allie Riggs.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Foley Scholars finalists present their research projects: Karthik Seetharama Bhat, Arpit Narechania, Sachin Pendse, and Allie Riggs."}],"uid":"27513","created_gmt":"2024-03-01 14:43:57","changed_gmt":"2024-03-01 14:58:02","author":"Walter Rich","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2024-03-07T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2024-03-07T13:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2024-03-07T13:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2024-03-07 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2024-03-07 18:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2024-03-07 18:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"TSRB 1st Floor Ballroom","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"69599","name":"IPaT"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"188084","name":"go-ipat"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EWalter Rich\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"673162":{"#nid":"673162","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Exploring Dual Perspectives in Computer-mediated Empathy","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESPEAKER\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESang Won Lee\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EAssistant Professor\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nDepartment of Computer Science at Virginia Tech\u003C\/h3\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EExploring Dual Perspectives in Computer-mediated Empathy\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EThursday, Feb. 29, 2024\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n12:00 p.m. Lunch;\u0026nbsp;12:30 p.m. Talk\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003ELocation:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nTSRB 1st Floor Ballroom\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n85 Fifth St NW\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nAtlanta, GA 30308\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nIf you can\u0027t attend, please watch the\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/gatech.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=d5f49860c7ba5242167d244f2\u0026amp;id=0574e87090\u0026amp;e=b603f1224a\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022 title=\u0022https:\/\/gatech.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=d5f49860c7ba5242167d244f2\u0026amp;id=0574e87090\u0026amp;e=b603f1224a\u0022\u003ELive Stream\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EABSTRACT\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EA common belief is that technology can play a pivotal role in enhancing individuals\u0027 capacity to empathize with others.

Despite this recognition, we know little about the diversity among the annotators involved in data production. Additionally, despite being an indispensable part of AI, data annotation work is often cast as simple, standardized and even low-skilled work. In this talk, I present a series of studies that aim at unpacking the data annotation process with an emphasis on the data worker who lifts the weight of data production. This includes interview studies to uncover both the data annotator\u2019s perspective of their work and the data requestor\u2019s approach to the diversity and subjectivity the workers bring; an ethnographic investigation in data centers to study the work practices around data annotation; a mixed methods study to explore the impact of worker demographic diversity on the data they annotate. While practitioners described nuanced understandings of annotator diversity, they rarely designed dataset production to account for diversity in the annotation process. This calls for more attention to a pervasive logic of representationalist thinking and counting that is intricately woven into the day to day work practices of annotation. In examining structure in which the annotation is done and the diversity is seen, this talk aims to recover annotation and diversity from its reductive framing and seek alternative approaches to knowing and\u202fdoing\u202fannotation.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio\u003C\/strong\u003E\u202f\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nDing\u202fWang is a senior researcher at Google Research, her current research focus is to explore the intersection of HCI and AI, specifically the labour involved in production of data and its impact on AI systems subsequently.

Achieving AGI (or even closely approaching it) will transform computing, with ramifications permeating through all aspects of society. This is a critical moment not only for Machine Learning research, but also for the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nIn this talk, I will define what I mean (and what I do NOT mean) by \u201cAGI,\u0022 and my journey from AGI skeptic to believing we are within five to ten years of reaching this milestone. I will then discuss how this new era of computing necessitates a new sociotechnical research agenda on methods and interfaces for studying and interacting with AGI. For instance, how can we extend status quo design and prototyping methods for envisioning novel experiences at the limits of our current imaginations? What novel interaction modalities might AGI (or superintelligence) enable? How do we create interfaces for computing systems that may intentionally or unintentionally deceive an end-user? How do we bridge the \u201cgulf of evaluation\u201d when a system may arrive at an answer through methods that fundamentally differ from human mental models, or that may be too complex for an individual user to grasp? How do we evaluate technologies that may have unanticipated systemic side-effects on society when released into the wild?\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nI will close by reflecting on the relationship between HCI and AI research. Typically, HCI and other sociotechnical domains are not considered as core to the ML research community as areas like model building. However, I argue that research on Human-AI Interaction and the societal impacts of AI is vital and central to this moment in computing history. HCI must not become a \u201csecond class citizen\u201d to AI, but rather be recognized as fundamental to ensuring the path to AGI and beyond is a beneficial one.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBIO\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nMeredith\u202fRingel\u202fMorris\u202fis Director for Human-AI Interaction Research at Google DeepMind.

My research team and I conducted in-depth interviews with more than 100 creators of existing trans technologies to understand the current landscape, highlight areas for future innovation, and build theory via community input around what it means for a technology to be a trans technology. This work illuminates the people who create trans technologies, the design processes that brought these technologies to life, and the ways trans people often rely on community and their own technological skills to meet their most basic needs and challenges. I will discuss how trans technology design processes are often deeply personal, and focus on the technology creator\u2019s own needs and desires. Thus, trans technology design can be empowering because technology creators have agency to create tools they need to navigate the world. However, in some cases when trans communities are not involved in design processes, this can lead to overly individualistic design that speaks primarily to more privileged trans people\u2019s needs. Further, I will discuss some of my research group\u2019s ongoing participatory design work designing trans technologies.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBIO\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nDr. Oliver Haimson is an Assistant Professor at University of Michigan School of Information and a recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER award.

AI algorithms now steer autonomous vehicle fleets, shape political beliefs through news filtering, and oversee resource allocation and labor. Establishing trust between humans and their AI counterparts becomes important to facilitate effective cooperation. Trust profoundly influences how individuals use, communicate with, and collaborate alongside AI systems. Thus, trust measurement and management within human-AI cooperation are indispensable for ensuring safety, efficiency, and overall success. This talk focuses on trust in human-AI interactions, addressing three primary questions: (1) How can we measure people\u2019s trust in human-AI conversations? (2) How does trust change over time within human-AI conversations? (3) How can we effectively manage instances of overtrust or undertrust through conversational cues to enhance human-AI cooperation?

Yet, in real-world applications, autonomy is often run in the O-F-F mode because researchers fail to understand the human in human-in-the-loop systems. In this talk, I will share exciting research we are conducting at the nexus of human factors engineering and cognitive robotics to inform the design of human-robot interaction. In my talk, I will focus on our recent work on 1) enabling machines to learn skills from and model heterogeneous, suboptimal human decision-makers, 2) \u201cwhite-box\u201d that knowledge through explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques, and 3) scale to coordinated control of stochastic human-robot teams.

Over a period of 71 days, the service reached upwards of 20,000 users who spent almost 400 thousand minutes on the platform. Through a critical examination of cultural and societal factors, such as traditional gender roles, stigma towards sexual health information-seeking, and limited access to resources, I will highlight key considerations for designing effective and culturally sensitive health technologies for this population.

After almost a decade of collaboration and tours across the United States and Europe, the duo honed a sympathetic and dynamic musical bond, persistently seeking to cultivate novel concepts of composition, recording, and presentation in musical practice. Since 2014, Whispers in the Night developed a conception of improvised music nurturing the sound worlds of acoustic instruments such as fiddle, mandolin, cello, banjo, harmonica, drums, and voice, bringing to the fore their resonance and timbres with the elemental feeling of the music traditions of the southern Appalachian region.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDoctor Calico\u003C\/strong\u003E.

This led to experiments with tape and turntables by age eight, then programming BASIC on a Commodore 64 and analog synthesizers utilizing subtractive synthesis at 10. Calico produced his first catalog by age 15 in a home-built, four-track studio called Soundworks, for which he received the Governor\u0026rsquo;s Award in Art. He started producing records, then signed a publishing deal for a 300-song catalog by age 18 with MCA.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ECalico has produced many major label artists including Organized Noize, Akon, X-Clan, Toni Braxton, and Elephant Man.

How can we enable robots to effectively take part in these social interactions? At first glance, multi-party interactions may be seen as a trivial generalization of one-on-one human-robot interactions, suggesting no special consideration. Unfortunately, this approach is limited in practice because it ignores higher-order effects, like group factors, that often drive human behavior in multi-party Human-Robot Interaction (HRI).\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nIn this talk, I will describe two research directions that we believe are important to advance multi-party HRI. The first direction focuses on understanding group dynamics and social group phenomena from an experimental perspective. The other one focuses on leveraging graph state abstractions and structured data-driven methods for reasoning about social contexts, which include individual, interpersonal and group-level factors relevant to human-robot interactions. As part of this talk, I will also describe our recent efforts to scale HRI data collection for early system development and testing via online interactive surveys. We have begun to explore this idea in the context of social robot navigation but, thanks to advances in game development engines, it could be easily applied to other HRI application domains.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMarynel V\u0026aacute;zquez is an Assistant Professor in Yale\u0026rsquo;s Computer Science Department, where she leads the Interactive Machines Group.

Yet, IoT has largely focused on new devices while ignoring the home\u0026rsquo;s many existing possessions. Requiring households to replace their possessions to adopt IoT yields substantial costs. Beyond financial, these include waste, work to arrange and orchestrate objects to suit households, and attention investment to acquire new skills. To address these costs, this project worked with 10 American families to design an upcycled approach to IoT that makes use of existing household possessions and then built a system responsive to these findings. The results 1) describe patterns of families\u0026rsquo; socio-material practices, 2) develop a framework for designing lightweight modification, and 3) presents The IoT Codex\u0026mdash;a book of programmable and inexpensive, battery-free interactive devices\u0026mdash;to support customizing everyday objects with software and web services using stickers.

Biometric identification would allow an app to connect a user\u0026rsquo;s personal ID with their work ID without needing their consent, for example. Solutions were explored to address concerns related to the leaking of biometric features through eye-tracking data streams. Privacy mechanisms are introduced to reduce the risk of biometric recognition while still enabling applications of eye-tracking data streams.

But in practice, they have largely failed to deliver on their promise of helping people derive value from their health and wellbeing data, with majorities abandoning tracking within weeks or even days. A core challenge is that people often view the act of tracking as a meaningless experience, finding that tracking technology prioritizes behavior change over opportunity to create other meaningful experiences through personal satisfaction, connection, and communication. In this talk, I discuss how my research group has approached understanding how to make personal tracking more meaningful, and design strategies that we think provide for more meaningful tracking experiences.

These devices are exploding in numbers and quickly becoming the foundational data collection platforms used to inform societal and personal scale decisions. Unfortunately, the battery dependency of these devices prevents scaling (because of bulk, expense, and maintenance) and contributes to existing global e-waste problems. This talk explores an alternative; instead of relying on energy stored in a battery, harvesting energy from the surrounding environment; however, this unstable energy supply means that these devices compute intermittently through many power failures. This new paradigm of sustainable computational things has required a rethinking of hardware, software design, and tool creation\u0026ndash; yet it has also opened up incredible new avenues to deploy sustainable data science infrastructure, health sensing, and reimagine education at scale. I\u0026#39;ll describe advances in making these devices more useful in the context of motivating data-science applications our lab has worked on: including late-breaking work on smart face masks, a system that enables novices to program intermittently powered devices with Python or Block-based languages, and large scale environmental monitoring.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EJosiah Hester holds the Allchin Chair and is Associate Professor of Interactive Computing and Computer Science at Georgia Tech.

But creating autonomy solutions is not an easy task. These new technologies need to control real equipment out in the real world safely and efficiently. One of the most difficult challenges is getting access to the real machines to test the latest build, validate algorithms or verify that multiple components integrate correctly. Another challenge is access to ground truth. When data is collected in the field, one has to also obtain the best possible data that represents the \u0026ldquo;truth\u0026rdquo;. Any errors in your ground truth data will affect the accuracy of the estimated efficiency of the solution.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOne of the technologies that has been identified as an enabler for creating complex solutions is simulation.

One of the most critical ones is that there is little time between the moment when stakeholders decide that a simulation system needs to be used in a project and the moment when developers and testers need to have access to the actual simulator.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cem\u003ESynopsis:\u003C\/em\u003E In this presentation, we will share the way the virtual proving ground (VPG) is being used to expedite the development of several autonomy projects in Trimble.

He served as senior research engineer at Spectra Precision Software from 1997 to 2000, where he developed Terravista, Terramodel Visualizer and the Virtual Environment Manager SDK. In 2000, he co-founded XYZ Solutions, Inc. where he led the development team that created XYZ World, a real-time publish-subscribe 3D monitoring suite. After XYZ Solutions was acquired by Trimble in 2006, he started working as a senior research engineer focusing on simulation and visualization projects for several Trimble divisions. In 2011, he pioneered the use of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to accelerate image processing and point cloud colorization and was invited to demonstrate the potential of GPU computing to the Trimble Board of Directors. In 2013, Augusto introduced the Virtual Proving Ground (VPG), a comprehensive simulation framework that can be used to propose and test the validity of ideas and also to develop and promote products. Over the last decade, VPG has been used in Building Construction, Geospatial, Mining, Forensics, Civil Engineering Construction, CTCT, ICT, and Ag projects. In 2019, Augusto joined Trimble Autonomous Solutions (TAS) and became the product owner of VPG.

Meanwhile, institutional investors and Private Equity firms are snatching up more property and operating as landlords across communities of color, particularly in Atlanta. This reinscribes historical cycles of racial dispossession and inequity. How might computing scholars, with our disciplinary expertise in data, complement the fight for housing as a human right? Particularly when we live in an age where data is used as a scaffold to the commodification of housing? In this work, we present our findings and reflections working with a local housing activist-non-profit: Housing Justice League. \u0026nbsp;We first describe and analyze the data practices volunteering and technically managing a remote, community outreach tool for tenants facing eviction and seeking organizing support. We then interpret the work of Housing Justice League through the lens of care, identifying home-brewed databases and data fragmentations as negotiations between care and efficiency. We argue that care is enacted through the assemblage of the technical systems, and present tinkering as an alternative approach to developing data practices. Understanding how housing activists use data is a prerequisite to consider aiding and abetting social movement work with data. We conclude by sharing our most recent endeavors to utilize and couple institutional eviction data with grassroots data to inform organizing initiatives. We present a preliminary case on why corporate landlords exacerbate housing instability and how data can support future tenant organizing work.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECreating E-Textiles Across Disciplines\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EProject Title: E-Textile Workshop Series \u003Cem\u003Ewith Lisa Marks [Industrial Design] and Noah Posner [Industrial Design]\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nGVU is preparing to open an exciting new lab focused on the area of E-textiles. \u0026nbsp; This lab focuses on a rapidly emerging field that will lead to technological innovation for wearables, home goods, healthcare, and transportation. \u0026nbsp;To maximize this field\u0026rsquo;s potential, we must have students trained in both the hardware and coding as well as the fabric structure and making methods. \u0026nbsp;This Engagement Grant has funded the development of a series of 3 workshops (weaving, knitting, and CNC embroidery), each involving a discussion of the textile qualities and history, a hands-on demonstration and student creation of the textile, coding and implementation of electronic sensors, and a brainstorming session of potential uses of the methods covered in a variety of fields.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EInternet Connection, Disconnection, and Everything In-Between\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EProject Title: Edge Computing for Bringing Smart Services to Underserved Urban Communities \u003Cem\u003Ewith Kishore Ramachandran [Computer Science], Ashutosh Dhekne [Computer Science], Manasvini Sethuraman [Computer Science], and Anirudh Sarma [Computer Science]\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nToday we are substantially dependent on centralized infrastructure (aka Cloud based services such as Netflix, Uber, YouTube, Coursera, Google Maps, etc.) for most of our everyday activities including learning, hailing a ride, restaurant suggestions in a neighborhood, etc. Many of our day-to-day activities depend on smart services made available to our fingertips from the cloud \u0026mdash;be it participating in school, homework submission, job hunting, or grocery shopping. Studies have shown that access to the Internet (connection speed, duration of connectivity, and cost of connectivity) influences the way people search for jobs or do homework which in turn affects quality of life. While Internet penetration continues to be on the rise in densely populated urban areas, there continues to be a section of society where reliable and good Internet access is still not the norm. In urban areas, lack of access to the Internet is often correlated with lower income. We engaged with local leaders, public schools and non-profits to understand the internet infrastructure in Atlanta\u0026rsquo;s Westside, especially from the education standpoint. We present some of our findings, along with proposals for low-cost self-sustainable technological solutions to improve internet penetration in the neighborhood, without necessarily relying on increasing the number of internet subscriptions.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker\u0026nbsp;Bios:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECounter-Institutional Data Accomplices.\u003C\/strong\u003E Project Title: Court Eviction Data as a Boundary Object for Housing Work\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EAnh-Ton Tran\u003C\/strong\u003E is a PhD student advised by Dr. Carl DiSalvo in Human Centered Computing at Georgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s School of Interactive Computing.

A new sustainable way of thinking about computing across the full lifecycle -- including manufacturing, operation, and disposal -- is necessary to meet the present needs without compromising the wellbeing of the future generations. Inspired by this, during my Ph.D. I have built \u0026lsquo;Self-powered Computational Material\u0026rsquo; that enables sustainable operation without toxic batteries. I will showcase this with an example of an easy-to retrofit sticky note that can sense human interactions like speech, movement, and touch and provide feedback by harvesting power from the surroundings. Finally, I will chart how designing for sustainability requires a high-interdisciplinary mindset and rethinking the entire computing stack from the material level.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/datasociety.net\/people\/upol-ehsan\/\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EUpol Ehsan\u003C\/a\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003Cstrong\u003EHuman-Centered Explainable AI: Thinking Outside the Black-Box of AI\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nAs AI systems power critical decisions in our lives, they need to be held accountable to mitigate an unjust AI-powered future. One way to hold AI systems accountable is to make them explainable\u0026ndash; to understand the \u0026ldquo;why?\u0026rdquo; behind their decisions. Implicit in Explainable AI (XAI), is the question: explainable to whom? The \u0026ldquo;who\u0026rdquo; governs the most effective way of describing the \u0026ldquo;why\u0026rdquo; behind the decisions. Critical insights into how best to explain AI\u0026rsquo;s black box lie outside it; because that\u0026rsquo;s where the humans are.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nIn this talk about AI, humans will take center stage. I will discuss three aspects of the journey towards Human-Centered Explainable AI (HCXAI), a departure from the algorithm-centered roots of XAI. First, I will share how people\u0026rsquo;s perceptions of AI agents explaining their actions in plain English shaped the foundations of how we think about who the humans are in Human-centered Explainable AI (HCXAI). Second, I will chart the visions of HCXAI by bridging insights from Critical Theory and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) to question the status quo of XAI design and expose intellectual blind spots. Third, I will apply the HCXAI lenses to highlight an intellectual blind spot in the algorithm-centered narrative of XAI and share how we addressed it by introducing the concept of Social Transparency in AI\u0026ndash; a sociotechnically situated concept that expands the boundaries of XAI by incorporating socio-organizational contexts into AI systems. I will share key lessons from this journey towards HCXAI including missed turns and design implications around improving explainability, calibrating trust, and fostering decision-making.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/qiaosiwang.me\/\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EQiaosi Wang\u003C\/a\u003E,\u0026nbsp;\u003Cstrong\u003EMutual Theory of Mind for Human-AI Communication\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nFrom navigation systems to smart assistants, we communicate with various types of AI on a daily basis. At the core of such human-AI communication, we convey our understanding of the AI system\u0026rsquo;s capability to the AI through utterances with different complexities, and the AI conveys its understanding of our needs and goals to us through system outputs. However, this communication process is prone to failures for two reasons: the AI systems might have the wrong understanding of the user and the user might have the wrong understanding of the AI. In my work, I posit the Mutual Theory of Mind framework, inspired by our basic human capability of \u0026ldquo;Theory of Mind\u0026rdquo;, to enhance mutual understanding in human-AI communication. My work takes place in the context of online education where AI agents have been widely deployed to offer informational and social support to online students. In this talk, I will discuss the three components of Mutual Theory of Mind in human-AI communication: the construction, recognition, and explanation of AI\u0026rsquo;s Theory of Mind. I will then describe in detail about one of my studies that leveraged linguistic cues in human-AI dialogues to construct a community\u0026rsquo;s understanding of an AI agent.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker\u0026nbsp;Bios:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/niveditaarora.com\/\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ENivedita Arora\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;is a computer science Ph.D. candidate in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by Prof. Gregory Abowd and Prof. Thad Starner.

What is the view of the world that guides AI development in high risk areas, and how does this view regard the complexity of the real world? In this talk, I will present results from my multi-year inquiry into how fundamentals of AI systems\u0026mdash;data, expertise, and fairness\u0026mdash;are viewed in AI development. I pay particular attention to developer practices in AI systems intended for low-resource communities, especially in the Global South, where people are enrolled as labourers or untapped DAUs. Despite the inordinate role played by these fundamentals on model outcomes, data work is under-valued; domain experts are reduced to data-entry operators; and fairness and accountability assumptions do not scale past the West. Instead, model development is glamourised, and model performance is viewed as the indicator of success. The overt emphasis on models, at the cost of ignoring these fundamentals, leads to brittle and reductive interventions that ultimately displace functional and complex real-world systems in low-resource contexts. I put forth practical implications for AI research and practice to shift away from model centrism to enabling human ecosystems; in effect, building safer and more robust systems for all.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/nithyasambasivan.com\/\u0022\u003EDr. Nithya Sambasivan\u003C\/a\u003E is a sociotechnical researcher whose work is in solving hard, socially-important design problems impacting marginalised communities in the Global South.

Such technologies improve our quality of life, but they also (re)inforce inequities and harm marginalized populations. As digital technologies become more ubiquitous, it will become critical for all young people to have a deep understanding of AI that empowers them to enact change in their local communities and globally. In this talk, I discuss how researchers and children collaborated to develop a critical machine learning after-school education program, in which children explored the social and ethical consequences of large-scale algorithm deployment and applied machine learning content knowledge. Findings show that children were able to 1) explain how biased training datasets could be harmful and 2) build robots for social good that used their own designed classification algorithms. Reflecting on these findings, I argue for the benefits of participatory design methods in designing critical machine learning educational environments, as well as the unresolved tensions that emerge.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Arastoopour Irgens is Assistant Professor of Learning Sciences at Clemson University, Director of the \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/idealab.sites.clemson.edu\/\u0022\u003EIDEA lab\u003C\/a\u003E, and Vice President of the International Society for Quantitative Ethnography.

Human-computer interaction has matured as a research community with a goal of understanding the effects of technology on people; through that maturity, the research methods we use in the field have mostly stabilized around a familiar and reliable set of qualitative and quantitative methods that help us to take a broad human-centered perspective. But these methods also have limits for what they can tell us about how people might engage with technology, and if we as a field fail to inspect those limits we run the risk of systematically ignoring the needs of end users.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn this talk I explore methodological limitations we have encountered in my research group\u0026rsquo;s recent projects, including work with individuals who have had a spinal cord injury and a project examining air quality data with parents of asthmatic children. In both cases, there were relatively obvious considerations we needed to make to accommodate research with these participants. However, there was something more subtle lurking underneath: in both cases there were also deeper methodological challenges that would have led to an incomplete picture of those user populations. I argue that researchers and practitioners in human-computer interaction, and more broadly across computing, have a responsibility to interrogate ourselves; to ask in earnest \u0026ldquo;How do our methods fall short, and whom do we harm in those shortcomings?\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EJason Wiese is an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing at the University of Utah where he leads the \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/pedel.cs.utah.edu\/\u0022\u003EPersonal Data and Empowerment Lab (PeDEL)\u003C\/a\u003E.

In these collaborations, I explore the potentials and limitations of design to participate in democracy through what I call design experiments in civics. In particular, I explore how, as engaged designers, we might contribute to the work of communities and institutions who explore alternative civic imaginaries, which keep our democracies vibrant. This requires rethinking the stories we tell about design, how we practice design, and how we theorize design. Rather than repeating the heroic tales of innovation, I argue for embracing design as fragile, contingent, partial, and compromised: designing becomes a way to care for our collective futures together.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ECarl DiSalvo is an Associate Professor in the School of Interactive Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

This can be problematic, as functional metropolitan areas can straddle multiple states, and a single state may have subregions that are not well-connected. Much of our messaging for emergencies (such as hurricane warnings) is not at the state-level but at the county-level for these reasons. Such state-level policies have already resulted in friction in local communities\u0026mdash;especially in Georgia. To define units for which it is reasonable to apply homogeneous rules, we construct regions that capture core geographies of social and movement behavior.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nTo create effective geographic regions for policy implementation, we apply community-detection algorithms to five large networks of mobility and social-media connections to construct geographic regions that reflect natural human movement and relationships at the county level for the continental United States. We measure COVID-19 cases, case rates, and case rate variation across adjacent counties and examine these dynamics along the boundaries of functional regions and state boundaries.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nWe find that regions constructed using GPS-trace (\u0026quot;trip\u0026quot;) networks and commuter networks are the most effective natural partitions for capturing COVID-19 \u0026#39;hot spots.\u0026#39; Conversely, regions constructed from geolocated Facebook friend connections resulted in the least effective partitions. Regions derived from migration flows, Twitter connections, and state boundaries showed mixed results. This analysis reveals that functional regions derived from mobility data are more appropriate geographic units than states for making policy decisions about opening areas for activity, assessing vulnerability of populations, and allocating resources.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EClio Andris is an assistant professor in the School of City \u0026amp; Regional Planning and the School of Interactive Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Gig platforms have certainly disrupted and redefined the discovery and allocation of casual work through algorithmic management, creating grave concerns for regulating the future of work. Simultaneously, especially in the global South, gig platforms have also emerged as important avenues for gaining temporary paid work and socio-economic mobility for low income individuals, women and migrant workers. Drawing on over five years of ethnographic research with a variety of stakeholders in the gig economy including workers, managers, consumers and regulators, my work shows how platformization produces heterogeneous effects on the lives, livelihoods and productive and reproductive capacities of different individuals in urban India. This talk will draw on multiple case studies of gig work to show these heterogeneous effects and how everyday technology practice also informs platform design in return.

The need to understand AI in order to improve, contest, develop appropriate trust and better interact with AI systems has spurred great academic and public interest in Explainable AI (XAI). The technical field of XAI has produced a vast collection of algorithms in recent years. However, explainability is an inherently human-centric property and the field is starting to embrace human-centered approaches. Human-computer interaction (HCI) research and user experience (UX) design in this area are increasingly important especially as practitioners begin to leverage XAI algorithms to build XAI applications. In this talk, I will draw on our research and broad HCI work to highlight the central role that human-centered approaches should play in shaping XAI technologies, including to drive technical choices by understanding user needs, to uncover pitfalls of existing XAI methods, and to provide conceptual frameworks for human-compatible XAI.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EQ.

How children\u0026rsquo;s perception of disability is established and maintained or altered through playing video games in which characters with disabilities are represented has received no attention at all. The most instrumental type of representation of disability in games should provide children with exposure to and engagement with new video game schemas that add understanding and help create meaning about the disability represented.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nVideo games differ significantly in how they represent disability. Representation can be cosmetic, providing exposure but not gameplay utility; it can be incidental, used as a device that provides purpose for the narrative; or it can accurately represent the disability and show how the character copes with their disability. How representation is perceived by children, i.e.\u0026nbsp;the message that is received, depends on what stage a child may be in in their cognitive development, the society of which they are a part, and their exposure to disability in games previously.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nThis talk shares a current EU research project in which nineteen games (1994-2020) with a PEGI 3 rating, and seventeen games (2004 to 2020) with a PEGI 7 rating, were reviewed and characters analyzed to consider how representation of disability maps against cognitive development and psychomotor and cognitive needs and abilities of children ages 3 to 12.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Krystina Madej has recently retired from Georgia Tech after ten years as Professor of the Practice.

Technology can play a role in different types of coordination with meaningful impact on behavioral and mental health. However, it is critical for design in this space to engage with issues of agency, marginalization, and trauma. In this talk, I will share two projects in which I have grappled with these issues. The first explores challenges of coordination across clinical, school, and home contexts in support of children\u0026rsquo;s behavioral development. Collaborative technologies are needed to help stakeholders cross these organizational and disciplinary boundaries, so they can reduce tensions and work together. The second project I will share involves the coordination of strangers. UnityPhilly is a community-based intervention that uses a smartphone app to coordinate life-saving layperson response to an opioid overdose. Just prior to the pandemic, we completed a one-year pilot study with 112 participants who helped to revive 74 victims of overdose. Across these two projects, I will reflect on how we can design mobile and collaborative technologies to fill gaps in care coordination and provide supplemental interventions for behavioral and mental health.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EGabriela Marcu is an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan School of Information.

However, designing these technologies requires supporting the actions of older adults alongside their caregivers, spouses, adult children, and healthcare providers while being able to draw on a longitudinal understanding of routines, habits, norms, and values. In this talk, I draw from several projects to reflect on the challenges incumbent in designing for informal care networks. These challenges include establishing trust, respecting privacy, retaining autonomy, and combatting disparities. While these challenges are significant, the benefits of designing for care networks are substantial and this multi-stakeholder approach has the greatest potential for long-lasting care.
