[Tux] HCI Poster Showcase Tomorrow
by Tovi Grossman 31 Mar '19

31 Mar '19

Dear TUX Community, Tomorrow there will be another HCI poster showcase (a similar event was held last semester) which I'd like to invite you to. This will be a presentation of posters that the students in the Human-Computer Interaction course I am teaching at U of T have prepared. The course is cross-listed as a fourth-year undergraduate / graduate course. For their final term project, they have been conducting a literature review and proposing new ideas on an HCI topic of choice. Tomorrow they will be presenting their findings in the format of a poster. The poster showcase will be held in the Autodesk space on the ground floor of the MaRS building. You are welcome to come by and see the posters and meet the undergraduate and graduate students that have been studying HCI at U of T this semester. Date: Thursday, March 28 Time: 2pm-4pm Location: Autodesk-MaRS Hope to see you there! Thanks, Tovi Tovi Grossman, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 40 St. George St, Toronto Toronto, Ontario M5S 2E4 Canada <http://www.cs.toronto.edu> www.cs.toronto.edu _______________________________________________ tux-announce mailing list tux-announce(a)dgp.toronto.edu https://www.dgp.toronto.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tux-announce

We look forward to seeing you there! Ali, Daniel, and Tovi TUX Member Presentation: Prof. Ashton Anderson *October 5, 2018. DGP Lab, Department of Computer Science at U of T @ 40 St. George Street Room 5166* Lunch reception begins at 12:30 pm. Presentation begins at 1:00 pm. *The Design of Social Incentives * An increasingly common feature of online communities and social media sites is a mechanism for rewarding user achievements based on a system of social incentives, such as badges. Badges are given to users for particular contributions to a site, such as performing a certain number of actions of a given type. In this talk, I will speak about how badges can influence and steer user behavior on a site—leading both to increased participation and to changes in the mix of activities a user pursues on the site. I’ll introduce a formal model for reasoning about user behavior in the presence of badges, and in particular for analyzing the ways in which badges can steer users to change their behavior. To evaluate the main predictions of our model, we study the use of badges and their effects on the widely used Stack Overflow question-answering site, and find evidence that their badges steer behavior in ways closely consistent with the predictions of our model. We then investigate the problem of how to optimally place badges in order to induce particular user behaviors. Several robust design principles emerge from our framework that could potentially aid in the design of incentives for a broad range of sites. Finally, I’ll report on a large-scale deployment of badges as incentives for engagement in a MOOC, including randomized experiments in which the presentation of badges was varied across sub-populations. We find that badges significantly increased student engagement, with the magnitude of the increase varying with the saliency of the badge presentation. *Bio* Ashton Anderson (University of Toronto) is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Toronto, where he is also a Faculty Affiliate with the Vector Institute and a Research Fellow in Behavioural Economics. He received his PhD from Stanford University in 2015 and completed a postdoctoral appointment at Microsoft Research NYC in 2017. His research in computational social science focuses on questions in the increasingly vital intersection of data and society.

Location: Autodesk Research,The MaRS Discovery District Auditorium @ 661 University Ave<https://goo.gl/maps/QNNkvjdRQe92>. Please feel free to share this invitation with anyone who conducts HCI and graphics research, corporate or academic, in the Toronto area. Abstract In 2019 we are continuing to commemorate the 50th anniversaries of many momentous events of 1968 and 1969 in the US, with television programs, technical symposia, and online media Those years were marked by devastating events such as the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, and by the "flower power" hippie movement and the closely related anti-Vietnam war movement. There also were stunning technical achievements including the first walk on the moon by Neil Armstrong and the even more societally impactful "Mother of All Demos" of NLS by Doug Engelbart and his team at the '68 Fall Joint Computer Conference that helped shape the personal computer revolution in ways that are still evolving today. Less well remembered is that graphics pioneer Ivan Sutherland presented a paper on "a head-mounted three dimensional display" at the same conference. Commemorative symposia were held to mark these two key events last year, and being on a panel last December at "The Demo @ 50: Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Doug Engelbart's Landmark Demo", paired with another panel titled "Doug's Unfinished Revolution," led me to a framework for this TUX talk. Using a very early version of our personal and workgroup hypermedia information management system, Dash, I will interweave six technical visions and some of the visionaries that have inspired me in my research over the last five decades. My group and I have concentrated on the natural intersection of interactive graphics used for human-computer interaction and hypertext. While these six visions, which overlap in significant ways, can be characterized by slogans and catch phrases associated with well-known personalities, they typically are based on much earlier antecedents. I picked "Information at Your Fingertips", Personal Computing, Information Management and Structures, "Connecting the World", "UBIcomp" and "Natural User Interfaces". In line with the meme of "unfinished revolutions" I will give an example scenario of a device-independent integrated system encompassing key aspects of these visions that is seamless and ubietous (in the Buxton sense), and talk about how far we still have to go in component technologies and integration to achieve that vision. I will finish with some personal reflections about societal issues that are increasingly urgent and that comprise part of our field's unfinished revolutions. Bio Andries van Dam, is the Thomas J. Watson Jr. University Professor of Technology and Education and Professor of Computer Science at Brown University. He has been a member of Brown's faculty since 1965, was a co-founder of Brown's Computer Science Department and its first Chairman from 1979 to 1985, and was also Brown's first Vice President for Research from 2002 - 2006. His research includes work on computer graphics, hypermedia systems, post-WIMP and natural user interfaces (NUI), including pen- and touch-computing, and educational software. He has been involved for five decades with systems for creating and reading electronic books with interactive illustrations for use in teaching and research. In 1967 Prof. van Dam co-founded ACM SICGRAPH (the precursor of SIGGRAPH) and from 1985 through 1987 was Chairman of the Computing Research Association. He is a Fellow of ACM, IEEE, and AAAS, a member of the SIGGRAPH Academy, the National Academy of Engineering, and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. He has received the ACM Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award, the SIGGRAPH Steven A. Coons Award for Outstanding Creative Contributions to Computer Graphics, and the IEEE Centennial Medal, and holds honorary doctorates from Darmstadt Technical University, Swarthmore College, the University of Waterloo, and ETH Zurich. He has authored or co-authored over 100 papers and nine books, including "Fundamentals of Interactive Computer Graphics" and three editions of "Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice".
