The last decade has shown a growing interest in robots as well-being coaches. However, insightful guidelines for the design of robots as coaches to promote mental well-being have not yet been proposed. This article details design and ethical ...

Timely, personalized feedback is essential for students learning programming. LLM-powered tools like ChatGPT offer instant support, but reveal direct answers with code, which may hinder deep conceptual engagement. We developed CodeAid, an LLM-powered ...

Many call for algorithmic systems to be more transparent, yet it is often unclear for designers how to do so in practice. Standards are emerging that aim to support designers in building transparent systems, e.g by setting testable transparency levels, ...

Using HRI theory to inform robot development is an important, but difficult, endeavor. This paper explores the relationship between HRI theory and HRI practice through a design project on the development of design guidelines for human-robot communication ...

The increasing access to technology has made the number of mobile internet users shoot up exponentially. Today, there is an app for everything. While these apps have been useful to the majority of their users, they are not all inclusive of the elderly or ...

Design guidelines serve as an important conceptual tool to guide designers of interactive applications with well-established principles and heuristics. Consulting domain experts is a common way to develop guidelines. However, experts are often not ...

Policymakers and environmental organizations are increasingly implementing gamification because of its ability to stimulate playful learning and transform human attitudes and behavior. Although it has become a prominent development for climate change ...

This work contributes a research protocol for evaluating human-AI interaction in the context of specific AI products. The research protocol enables UX and HCI researchers to assess different human-AI interaction solutions and validate design decisions ...

The academic and professional BPM discipline is concentrated on process performance and conformance. However, changing consumer demand patterns, ESG requirements and concepts such as conscious capital have increased the pressure to create more ...

The framework presented in the paper identifies the promises and pitfalls of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and End-User Development (EUD) approaches by focusing on two basic system components: (1) adaptive systems (grounded in AI) that change their ...

Blind people that want, and play digital games will often find barriers and a lack of accessibility features available when exploring virtual environments. Prior work has found navigation to be the primary barrier players face, and the one players ...

• An evaluated and effective guideline for hyper-parameter optimization of ESNs.
• ...

Prediction of multi-dimensional time-series data, which may represent such diverse phenomena as climate changes or financial markets, remains a challenging task in view of inherent nonlinearities and non-periodic behavior. In contrast ...

According to WHO statistics in 2020, there were approximately 253 million visually impaired people worldwide, including 36 million blind individuals. Blind students learn the same knowledge as ordinary students do in their schools, but they lack a ...

Depression has been one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. In addition to conventional drugs and clinical treatments, other forms of treatment are also available. For example, computational solutions have been developed to prevent, screen for,...

Multimodality is a widely studied topic that involves communication modes such as speech, writing, gestures, touching, etc. In the field of Conversational User Interfaces, researchers emphasize both advantages and disadvantages in developing either text-...

Advances in text-to-image generative models have made it easier for people to create art by just prompting models with text. However, creating through text leaves users with limited control over the final composition or the way the subject is ...

Recent work has investigated the construction of touch-sensitive knitted fabrics, capable of being manufactured at scale, and having only two connections to external hardware. Additionally, several sensor design patterns and application prototypes have ...

Text-to-image generative models are a new and powerful way to generate visual artwork. However, the open-ended nature of text as interaction is double-edged; while users can input anything and have access to an infinite range of generations, they also ...

Music visualization has recently become a popular application of augmented-reality (AR) technology. However, despite their various designs and functionalities, their potential benefits and the effectiveness of their designs are not well explored. By ...

The increasing capabilities of Artificial Intelligence enable the support of users in a continuously growing number of applications. Current systems typically dictate that interaction between user input and AI output unfolds in discrete steps, as is ...
