Recent advances in neural networks for content generation enable artificial intelligence (AI) models to generate high-quality media manipulations. Here we report on a randomized experiment designed to study the effect of exposure to media…
We seek causes through science, religion, and in everyday life. We get excited when a big rock causes a big splash, and we get scared when it tumbles without a cause. But our causal cognition is usually biased. The 'why' is influenced by…
In this paper we present a novel application of detecting fruit picker activities based on time series data generated from wearable sensors. During harvesting, fruit pickers pick fruit into wearable bags and empty these bags into harvesting…
Human behaviour is dictated by past experiences via cumulative inertia (CI): the longer a certain behaviour has been going on, the less likely changes becomes. This is a well-known sociological phenomenon observed in employment, residence,…
MoodCam introduces a novel method for assessing mood by utilizing facial affect analysis through the front-facing camera of smartphones during everyday activities. We collected facial behavior primitives during 15,995 real-world phone…
AI agents are becoming active decision-makers on the Internet. As they make decisions in the same environments as humans, the environments themselves can change to influence them. We call this $\textit{mecha-nudging}$: changes to how…
Activity recognition using built-in sensors in smart and wearable devices provides great opportunities to understand and detect human behavior in the wild and gives a more holistic view of individuals' health and well being. Numerous…
Wearable sensor devices, which offer the advantage of recording daily objects used by a person while performing an activity, enable the feasibility of unsupervised Human Activity Recognition (HAR). Unfortunately, previous unsupervised…
A central concern in an interactive intelligent system is optimization of its actions, to be maximally helpful to its human user. In recommender systems for instance, the action is to choose what to recommend, and the optimization task is…
Modern digital ecosystems feature complex, dynamic interactions among autonomous entities across diverse domains. Traditional models often separate agents and objects, lacking a unified foundation to capture their interactive behaviors.…
Diversity-aware data are essential for a robust modeling of human behavior in context. In addition, being the human behavior of interest for numerous applications, data must also be reusable across domain, to ensure diversity of…
Human-computer interaction (HCI) has been a widely researched area for many years, with continuous advancements in technology leading to the development of new techniques that change the way we interact with computers. With the recent…
Evaluating web usability typically requires time-consuming user studies and expert reviews, which often limits iteration speed during product development, especially for small teams and agile workflows. We present Avenir-UX, a…
