The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in modern society is transforming how individuals perform tasks. In high-risk domains, ensuring human control over AI systems remains a key design challenge. This article presents a novel…
Learned image compression methods have shown impressive performance but are often highly specialized for either human perception or specific machine vision tasks. This specialization limits their versatility and requires costly retraining…
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is widely used for conceptual design and parametric 3D modeling, but typically requires a high level of expertise from designers. To lower the entry barrier and facilitate early-stage CAD modeling, we present…
Despite recent progress in semantic image synthesis, complete control over image style remains a challenging problem. Existing methods require reference images to feed style information into semantic layouts, which indicates that the style…
Providing an equitable and inclusive user experience (UX) for people with disabilities (PWD) is a central goal of accessible design. In the specific case of Deaf users, whose hearing impairments impact language development and…
Recommender systems have made significant strides in various industries, primarily driven by extensive efforts to enhance recommendation accuracy. However, this pursuit of accuracy has inadvertently given rise to echo chamber/filter bubble…
We propose an AI-assisted design concept exploration tool, the "Character Space Construction" ("CSC"). Concept designers explore and articulate the target product aesthetics and semantics in language, which is expressed using "Design…
As large language models are increasingly deployed across diverse real-world applications, extending automated evaluation beyond English has become a critical challenge. Existing evaluation approaches are predominantly English-focused, and…
The ability to explain decisions to end-users is a necessity to deploy AI as critical decision support. Yet making AI explainable to non-technical end-users is a relatively ignored and challenging problem. To bridge the gap, we first…
In today's digital society, personalization has become a crucial aspect of software applications, significantly impacting user experience and engagement. A new wave of intelligent user interfaces, such as AI-based conversational agents, has…
This paper introduces the Unified Opinion Concepts (UOC) ontology to integrate opinions within their semantic context. The UOC ontology bridges the gap between the semantic representation of opinion across different formulations. It is a…
Human-centered explainability has become a critical foundation for the responsible development of interactive information systems, where users must be able to understand, interpret, and scrutinize AI-driven outputs to make informed…
The proliferation of Large Language Model (LLM)-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) agents in web browsing scenarios present complex unintended consequences (UCs). This paper characterizes three UCs from three perspectives: phenomena,…
Graphic design generation demands a delicate balance between high visual fidelity and fine-grained structural editability. However, existing approaches typically bifurcate into either non-editable raster image synthesis or abstract layout…
We describe a co-design approach to design the online WebSoKeyTo used to design AAC. This co-design was carried out between a team of therapists and a team of human-computer interaction researchers. Our approach begins with the use and…
Design systems represent a user interaction design and development approach that is currently of avid interest in the industry. However, little research work has been done to synthesize knowledge related to design systems in order to inform…
The completeness axiom renders the explanation of a post-hoc XAI method only locally faithful to the model, i.e. for a single decision. For the trustworthy application of XAI, in particular for high-stake decisions, a more global model…
We present the Critical Design Strategy (CDS) - a structured method designed to facilitate the examination of visualisation designs through reflection and critical thought. The CDS helps designers think critically and make informed…
User-driven applications are the programs, in which the full control is given to the users. Designers of such programs are responsible only for developing an instrument for solving some task, but they do not enforce users to work with this…
While automated experiments and high-throughput methods are becoming more mainstream in the age of data, empowering individual researchers to capture, collate, and contextualize their data faster and more reproducibly still remains a…
