ACM UMAP 2024 | Tutorials & Registration

by Wanling Cai

* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this email * * Online version (registration): https://www.um.org/umap2024/registration/ * Online version (tutorials): https://www.um.org/umap2024/tutorials/ ACM UMAP 2024: The 32nd ACM Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy July 1-4, 2024 There’s still time to register for UMAP 2024 Conference! - Registration information: https://www.um.org/umap2024/registration/ - Standard Registration until June 21, 2024 - Onsite Registration By July 4, 2024 * Registration Link: https://cvent.me/ekykDz *This year, UMAP 2024 will include 5 tutorials:* *Trustworthy User Modeling and Recommendation From Technical and Regulatory Perspectives* Several efforts in Europe (e.g., the AI Act) and beyond have highlighted the significance of regulating AI technology, which has substantial implications for research and development in the areas of user modelling and recommender systems. It particularly requires actions to enhance the trust of various stakeholders in the processes and outcomes of corresponding R&D activities. This 90-minute tutorial will address these implications from both technical and regulatory perspectives. It will provide an interdisciplinary overview of recent regulations, with a specific focus on the core areas of (1) fairness and non-discrimination, (2) privacy and security, and (3) transparency and explainability. The tutorial will empower its audience with a deep understanding of the social and ethical consequences of their work, and of recent ethical guidelines and regulatory frameworks addressing the aforementioned dimensions. It will discuss relevant research and offer practical examples that address the aforementioned trustworthiness aspects. Furthermore, it will demonstrate how new regulations impact the daily work of the audience. * Website: https://socialcomplab.github.io/Trustworthy-UMAP-Tutorial-24/ *Collaborative Team Recommendation for Skilled Users: Objectives, Techniques, and New Perspectives* Collaborative team recommendation involves selecting users with certain skills to form a team who will, more likely than not, accomplish a complex task successfully. To automate the traditionally tedious and error-prone manual process of team formation, researchers from several scientific spheres have proposed methods to tackle the problem. In this tutorial, while providing a taxonomy of team recommendation works based on their algorithmic approaches to model skilled users in collaborative teams, we perform a comprehensive and hands-on study of the graph-based approaches that comprise the mainstream in this field, then cover the neural team recommenders as the cutting-edge class of approaches. Further, we provide unifying definitions, formulations, and evaluation schema. Last, we introduce details of training strategies, benchmarking datasets, and open-source tools, along with directions for future works. * Website: https://fani-lab.github.io/OpeNTF/tutorial/umap24/ *DECI: Designing Effective Conversational Interfaces* The rise in popularity of conversational agents has enabled humans to interact with machines more naturally. There is a growing familiarity among people with conversational interactions mediated by technology due to the widespread use of mobile devices and messaging services. Over half the population on our planet has access to the Internet with ever-lowering barriers to accessibility. Though text modality is a dominant way to implement CUIs today, foundational AI models enable the implementation of multimodal CUIs using voice and visual modality. Adopting visual and auditory cues in addition to text-based responses provides an engaging user experience, specifically in complex scenarios like health guidance, and job interviewing, among others. This tutorial will present a review of state-of-the-art research and best practices on building and deploying multimodal CUIs and synthesize the open research challenges in supporting such CUIs. The tutorial will also showcase the benefits of employing novel conversational interfaces in the domains of human-AI decision-making, health and well-being, information retrieval, and crowd computing. We will discuss the potential of conversational interfaces in facilitating and mediating the interactions of people with AI systems. * Website: https://sites.google.com/view/decitutorial *Paradigm Shifts in User Modeling: A Journey from Historical Foundations to Emerging Trends* The tutorial is designed to act as a detailed guide through the evolving field of user modeling research, highlighting the significant changes that have recently reshaped this area of study. We provide an overview of the vast and continuously expanding areas of user modeling and profiling, covering both their historical development and technical aspects. Our goal is to clarify the meanings of each crucial term in this field, thereby reducing misunderstandings and misinterpretations. At the heart of our tutorial, we will delve into the significant paradigm shifts witnessed in the last few years, primarily driven by advances in technology, along with the latest research trends and innovative directions in the domain. We explore and elaborate on progress in areas such as user behavior modeling, user representation, and beyond-accuracy perspectives. Throughout the presentation, we intend to actively involve the audience in discussions to promote an interactive and engaging learning experience. * Website: https://link.erasmopurif.com/tutorial-umap24 *Mastering Mind and Movement. ACM UMAP 2024 Tutorial on Modeling Intelligent Psychomotor Systems (M3@ACM UMAP 2024)* Research in the psychomotor field to provide personalization support to users represents several research challenges. The objective of the M3@ACM UMAP 2024 tutorial is to provide all level researchers of the UMAP community with methodologies, tools and techniques to model complex psychomotor behaviours that can later personalize learning support in realms like sports, physical education or for rehabilitation purposes, providing insights into data gathering from activities that involve human movements. In the M3 tutorial we will focus on how to take advantage of a learning analytics platform to support data engineering processes applied to the psychomotor domain, thus allowing for a practical and guided experience to the tutorial participants. Participants will engage in hands-on activities, recording specific movements and learning how to capture human body keypoints and model psychomotor learning. * Website: https://phyum.uned.es/m3umap24/

Seminario, Dragan Ahmetovic, DEIB - PoliMI, 27 Maggio, 13:30

by Maristella Matera

Carissimi, lunedì 27 Maggio alle 13:30, presso la Sala Seminari "Nicola Schiavoni" del DEIB (Edificio 20) - Politenico di Milano, Dragan Ahmetovic terrà un seminario dal titolo "Interaction Substitution for Mobile Games Accessibility and Exergaming". Trovate sotto l'abstract e una breve biografia di Dragan. Vi invitiamo a partecipare, sia in presenza per chi può raggiungere facilmente il Politecnico di Milano, sia in streaming al seguente link: https://polimi-it.zoom.us/j/92625905865 Non mancate! Un caro saluto, Maristella ---------------------------------- Interaction Substitution for Mobile Games Accessibility and Exergaming Mobile device interaction is based on touchscreen usage, which poses significant accessibility barriers to people with upper extremity motor impairments. Existing solutions, provided as software services, enable access to most mobile device functionalities by substituting the default touchscreen interaction paradigm with simpler alternatives. This is commonly achieved by replacing direct touchscreen access to interface elements with their sequential traversal, until a target element is reached. However, sequential access is slower, and therefore not suited for apps having time-constrained interaction requirements, such as games. Furthermore, since common game development kits do not advertise their interface elements to the mobile operating system, in many cases alternative interaction paradigms cannot be used at all. To address these issues, we research novel interaction substitution approaches that rely on the direct mapping of alternative triggering actions to touchscreen interaction events, which are previously annotated on the interface of a target game. The proposed approach can be used as an accessibility layer to make existing and popular games accessible without directly intervening on their code. Within this framework, we explore the design space of the alternative triggering actions, proposing four input modalities that can be personalized to the specific user needs. Through a series of studies with representative users, we assess the accuracy, time overhead, workload and appreciation of the proposed alternative inputs, compared to non-mediated touchscreen access by people without disabilities. Finally, we explore the applicability of the approach to telerehabilitation by transforming existing mobile games into full-fledged exergames. Dragan Ahmetovic is an associate professor at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Milan. His research focuses on assistive technologies designed to augment the cognitive capabilities of users and overcome barriers that limit their access to information and physical world. He investigates embodied sensing, knowledge retrieval, intelligent user interfaces and human-computer interaction, mediated by mobile and pervasive devices. Dragan conducted his doctoral studies at EveryWare Lab of the University of Milan and received his Ph.D. in March 2015. Afterwards, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow and project scientist at the Cognitive Assistance Lab of Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA and as a postdoctoral researcher at the “S. Polin” Laboratory for Research and Experimentation with Novel Assistive Technologies for STEM at the University of Turin, Italy.

Membership SIGCHI e Candidatura di Luigi De Russis

by Giuliana VITIELLO

Cari Tutti e care Tutte, Faccio seguito al mio messaggio di circa un anno fa per invitare nuovamente chi di voi non l'avesse già fatto a rinnovare la propria *iscrizione ad ACM SIGCHI*. E' davvero importante dare massima visibilità a livello internazionale a una comunità scientifica attiva e dinamica come la nostra. Per questo motivo vi esorto *fare iscrivere anche tutti i nostri studenti di dottorato*, che pagano una quota simbolica e che rappresentano il futuro dell'HCI italiana. Un modo per farli sentire parte attiva di questa comunità sin da subito. Quest'anno questo mio appello è particolarmente sentito, perché siamo prossimi alle elezioni del *SIGCHI 2024 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE*, che si apriranno ad Aprile e termineranno a Maggio/Giugno 2024 e che vedono la candidatura dell'attuale *Presidente Neha Kumar e di Luigi De Russis, in qualità di Executive Vice President* (i due nominativi “running as a team”, vanno votati insieme). Penso sia superfluo sottolineare l'importanza del ruolo di Executive VIce President affidato a un membro della nostra comunità, che negli anni scorsi ha dato grande prova di sensibilità verso le iniziative portate avanti dai nostri gruppi di ricerca, suggerendo di volta in volta strategie e strumenti che SIGCHI mette a disposizione per favorirne il successo. E' anche per questo motivo che vi chiedo di massimizzare gli sforzi e, cogliendo tutti i benefit della membership cui ho accennato, *votare Neha Kumar e Luigi De Russis*. Infine vi ricordo che chiunque può richiedere l'iscrizione a questa lista hcitaly(a)isti.cnr.it, tramite il form (https://mailman.isti.cnr.it/p ostorius/lists/hcitaly.isti.cnr.it/) o mandando una mail a hcitaly-join(a)isti.cnr.it con 'subscribe’ nell’oggetto della mail. Una volta iscritti ad ACM SIGCHI, mi auguro che tutti i nuovi membri chiedano di essere inseriti nella mailing list del Capitolo Italiano. Un caro saluto a tutti e ... a presto vedervi ad AVI2024! Giuliana Vitiello, *Chair del Capitolo Italiano SIGCHI ITALY* -- --- Prof. Giuliana Vitiello, PhD Director HCI-UsE Lab Department of Computer Science University of Salerno Italy phone +39 089 963317 cell +39 3666758965 https:// <https://docenti.unisa.it/003730/home> docenti.unisa.it/giuliana.vitiello

CALL FOR PAPERS Experience 2.0 and Beyond – Engineering Cross Devices and Multiple Realities http://hciv.de/xp2/ June 25, 2024, Cagliari, Italy In conjunction with The 16th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems (EICS 2024) Augmented and mixed reality (AR/MR) are found very promising. Even handheld displays, including smartphones and tablets, can provide a wide and low budget access to AR/MR. However, current research and applications in this area faces many challenges (e.g., suitable interaction techniques, better experience, navigation in MR environments, high cross-device UX) which limit the application in real-world activities. Targeting these challenges, our workshop will provide a platform for researchers, developers, and professionals from academia, industry, and arts, to discuss issues and define novel interaction paradigms, user interfaces, 3D visualizations, and application for cross-device AR/MR. Workshop Topics The workshop will be dedicated to observations, concepts, approaches, techniques, development, and practice that allow understanding, facilitating, and increasing the advancements of AR/MR applications. Topics of interest for position paper submission include, but are not limited to: AR/MR applications for handheld devices and head-mounted displays User interface design for AR/MR applications in handheld devices and head-mounted displays New interaction techniques and modalities for AR/MR 3D Visualization for AR/MR applications Cross-device frameworks for AR/MR User experience in AR/MR Navigation in AR/MR Methodologies, frameworks, concepts, and tool support for cross-device AR/MR Evaluation and user studies Case studies and best practices Translation between senses Multimodal interactive art Keynote Speaker: Professor Ernest Edmonds Submission The position papers (4-8 pages) must be written in English and submitted in PDF format to the organizers in EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=xp2), using the Springer LNCS template (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…). The submissions will be reviewed based on workshop relevance, academic rigor, creativity, innovation, and applicability. The extended version of workshop papers will be published in a Springer LNCS book series proceeding. We will also produce a special issue of a journal that addresses the workshop topic in which selected accepted position papers will be invited to publish their extended work. At least one author per accepted position paper is required to register for the workshop. The workshop will be held in synchronous mode. Each accepted paper will feature a short presentation. At the workshop the positions will be grouped into discussion themes, that are intended to be interactively explored, resulting in research agendas and a draft vision for future joined elaboration.
