There & Back again: Developing a tool for testing of antimicrobial surfaces for space habitat design
(2023)
The continuously increasing number of biomedical scholarly publications makes it challenging to construct document recommendation algorithms that can efficiently navigate through literature. Such algorithms would help researchers in finding similar, relevant, and related publications that align with their research interests. Natural Language Processing offers various alternatives to compare publications, ranging from entity recognition to document embeddings. In this paper, we present the results of a comparative analysis of vector-based approaches to assess document similarity in the RELISH corpus. We aim to determine the best approach that resembles relevance without the need for further training. Specifically, we employ five different techniques to generate vectors representing the text in the documents. These techniques employ a combination of various Natural Language Processing frameworks such as Word2Vec, Doc2Vec, dictionary-based Named Entity Recognition, and state-of-the-art models based on BERT. To evaluate the document similarity obtained by these approaches, we utilize different evaluation metrics that account for relevance judgment, relevance search, and re-ranking of the relevance search. Our results demonstrate that the most promising approach is an in-house version of document embeddings, starting with word embeddings and using centroids to aggregate them by document.
Smart heating systems are one of the core components of smart homes. A large portion of domestic energy consumption is derived from HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems, making them a relevant topic of the efforts to support an energy transition in private housing. For that reason, the technology has attracted attention both from the academic and the industry communities. User interfaces of smart heating systems have evolved from simple adjusting knobs to advanced data visualization interfaces, that allow for more advanced setting such as time tables and status information. With the advent of AI, we are interested in exploring how the interfaces will be evolving to build the connection between user needs and underlying AI system. Hence, this paper is targeted to provide early design implications towards an AI-based user interface for smart heating systems.
AI systems pose unknown challenges for designers, policymakers, and users which aggravates the assessment of potential harms and outcomes. Although understanding risks is a requirement for building trust in technology, users are often excluded from legal assessments and explanations of AI hazards. To address this issue we conducted three focus groups with 18 participants in total and discussed the European proposal for a legal framework for AI. Based on this, we aim to build a (conceptual) model that guides policymakers, designers, and researchers in understanding users’ risk perception of AI systems. In this paper, we provide selected examples based on our preliminary results. Moreover, we argue for the benefits of such a perspective.
When dialogues with voice assistants (VAs) fall apart, users often become confused or even frustrated. To address these issues and related privacy concerns, Amazon recently introduced a feature allowing Alexa users to inquire about why it behaved in a certain way. But how do users perceive this new feature? In this paper, we present preliminary results from research conducted as part of a three-year project involving 33 German households. This project utilized interviews, fieldwork, and co-design workshops to identify common unexpected behaviors of VAs, as well as users’ needs and expectations for explanations. Our findings show that, contrary to its intended purpose, the new feature actually exacerbates user confusion and frustration instead of clarifying Alexa's behavior. We argue that such voice interactions should be characterized as explanatory dialogs that account for VA’s unexpected behavior by providing interpretable information and prompting users to take action to improve their current and future interactions.
Ziel der neunten Ausgabe des wissenschaftlichen Workshops "Usable Security und Privacy" auf der Mensch und Computer 2023 ist es, aktuelle Forschungs- und Praxisbeiträge auf diesem Gebiet zu präsentieren und mit den Teilnehmer:innen zu diskutieren. Getreu dem Konferenzmotto "Building Bridges" soll mit dem Workshop ein etabliertes Forum fortgeführt und weiterentwickelt werden, in dem sich Expert:innen, Forscher:innen und Praktiker:innen aus unterschiedlichen Domänen transdisziplinär zum Thema Usable Security und Privacy austauschen können. Das Thema betrifft neben dem Usability- und Security-Engineering unterschiedliche Forschungsgebiete und Berufsfelder, z. B. Informatik, Ingenieurwissenschaften, Mediengestaltung und Psychologie. Der Workshop richtet sich an interessierte Wissenschaftler:innen aus all diesen Bereichen, aber auch ausdrücklich an Vertreter:innen der Wirtschaft, Industrie und öffentlichen Verwaltung.
