Please forward to anyone interested.

In particular I'd recommend you check out Edith Law's (cced) work that like our lab combines HCI & AI and who is very prominent in the Human Computation community.

Kate Larson https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~klarson/ and Edith Law http://edithlaw.ca/ *Human-in-the-Loop Decision System for Managing Forest Fires*. In this project, the student will create a AI decision support tool for managing forest fires, where the algorithm both makes predictions and explains its predictions / uncertainties. The student will design a study where forest fire trainees will use the decision support tool to make decisions about hypothetical forest fire situations, and discuss their reasoning for accepting / rejecting the AI’s recommendation. The ideal candidate would have experience and interest in both AI and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
