Lunch
reception begins at 12:30 pm. Presentation begins
at 1:00 pm.
Leveraging context and machine learning for the
design of predictive and self-adaptive user
experiences
By leveraging machine learning techniques, digital
channels are becoming more predictive and
contextual. Through this evolution, user experience
design is becoming more than just a two-dimensional
user interface consideration. In this talk, Hossein
will be talking about how data science and the
synthesis of context from data, enable the design of
a more adaptive and engaging user experience. He
will demonstrate how his team is building tools
enabling AI and Machine Learning to be used by
non-computer and data scientists and how such
capabilities creates a new ecology of services and
users. The talk includes real examples and demos of
how Fortune 500s are making their user experiences
learnable.
At the end, Hossein will be talking about his
Augmented Eternity project at MIT Media Lab which is
focused on enabling users to share expertise using
AI.
