Women and ID
by Ishtiaque Ahmed 08 Nov '19

08 Nov '19

This project on women and ID has got some media attention these days. I have been invited to Columbia for a talk on this. As we often talk about data, privacy, and ethics, I think you may find these blogs interesting. https://medium.com/caribou-digital/why-is-id-important-for-women/home Best Regards, Ishtiaque Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science University of Toronto, ON, CA Ph: +1 647 220 3482 Skype: syed.ishtiaque.ahmed web: https://www.ishtiaque.net/ My Availability: Google Calendar Link <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ishtiaque.uoft%40gmail.com&c…>

DGP HCI Meeting
by ericlu 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

Hello all, We will have our bi-weekly HCI group meeting at 12.30pm on Tuesday Nov 5 in the DGP seminar room. Caleb (Zhicong) Lu will be giving a practice talk. Food will be served. Additionally, if we have time left, we will take a look at UIST video preview. Title Vicariously Experiencing it all without Going Outside: A Study of Outdoor Live Streaming in China Abstract: The livestreaming industry in China is gaining greater traction than its European and North American counterparts and has a profound impact on the stakeholders' online and offline lives. An emerging genre of livestreaming that has become increasingly popular in China is outdoor livestreaming. With outdoor livestreams, streamers broadcast outdoor activities, travel, or socialize with passersby in outdoor settings, often for 6 or more hours, and viewers watch such streams for hours each day. However, given that professionally produced content about travel and outdoor activities are not very popular, it is currently unknown what makes this category of livestreams so engaging and how these techniques can be applied to other content or genres. Thus, we conducted a mixed methods study consisting of a survey (N=287) and interviews (N = 20) to understand how viewers watch and engage with outdoor livestreams in China. The data revealed that outdoor livestreams encompass many categories of content, environments and passersby behaviors create challenges and uncertainty for viewers and streamers, and viewers watch livestreams for surprising lengths of time (e.g., sometimes more than 5 continuous hours). We also gained insights into how live commenting and virtual gifting encourage engagement. Lastly, we detail how the behaviors of dedicated fans and casual viewers differ and provide implications for the design of livestreaming services that support outdoor activities. The preprint of the paper can be found here: http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~luzhc/media/cscw025-lu-new.pdf Kind regards, Eric Lu

new book

This seems to be an interesting book for anyone who cares about sustainability - why the western notion of 'go beyond the limit' is not something to chase for: https://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=29999 Best Regards, Ishtiaque Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science University of Toronto, ON, CA Ph: +1 647 220 3482 Skype: syed.ishtiaque.ahmed web: https://www.ishtiaque.net/ My Availability: Google Calendar Link <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ishtiaque.uoft%40gmail.com&c…>

Fwd: Conferences: Graphics Interface 2020, Call For Papers
by Ishtiaque Ahmed 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

FYI This conference will be at UofT, and I encourage you all to submit something and participate. Best Regards, Ishtiaque Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science University of Toronto, ON, CA Ph: +1 647 220 3482 Skype: syed.ishtiaque.ahmed web: https://www.ishtiaque.net/ My Availability: Google Calendar Link <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ishtiaque.uoft%40gmail.com&c…> ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Fanny Chevalier <fanny(a)cs.toronto.edu> Date: Mon, Nov 4, 2019 at 3:56 PM Subject: Conferences: Graphics Interface 2020, Call For Papers To: <CHI-ANNOUNCEMENTS(a)listserv.acm.org> Dear HCI and Graphics colleagues and friends, Graphics Interface (GI) 2020, the 46th annual conference, will be held at the University of Toronto, Canada from May 21 - 22, 2020. Graphics Interface is the only conference for Computer Graphics and Human Computer Interaction. http://graphicsinterface.org/2020 < http://graphicsinterface.org/2020> The GI 2020 program covers technical and fundamental contributions in both Graphics and HCI. We seek submissions covering all aspects of Graphics, HCI, and Visualization. All paper submissions are rigorously peer reviewed by at least three members of the international program committee. All accepted GI papers will be indexed in the ACM Digital Library and will be open access in the Graphics Interface archive. The Michael A. J. Sweeney Award will be awarded at the conference to the best student papers in graphics and HCI. Authors of top papers will be invited to submit revised and extended versions to the journals IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG) and Computers & Graphics. New this year Unlike past years, GI will not be co-conferencing with AI/CRV, and as a result we are executing a number of exciting changes: Registration will be significantly more affordable, student registration will be minimal. The conference will be two days long and will be single track (interweaving HCI and graphics talks), Papers submission will undergo OpenReview (details below) and Authors will find out review results less than a month after submission. Papers can be submitted to one of three deadlines strategically placed near other graphics and HCI deadlines, and submissions can use any format of the ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM TOG, SIGCHI, Eurographics/CGF. Deadlines First Paper Deadline: Friday, December 20, 2019, 11:59 pm EST Author Notification for First Deadline: Friday, January 10, 2020 Second Paper Deadline: tentatively, Friday, January 24, 2020 Third Paper Deadline: tentatively, Friday, April 3, 2020 Paper Submission Information Graphics Interface 2020 is excited to be the first Graphics/HCI conference to use OpenReview. This system – common in Machine Learning and Computer Vision <https://openreview.net/> – allows for increased transparency and accountability during peer review. GI 2020 submissions will continue to be double-blind: authors will not know reviewers' identities, and reviewers will not know authors' identities. Immediately upon submission, each paper will become available publicly and anonymously and time-stamped accordingly. This eliminates the need to post submissions simultaneously on ArXiv, and consequently authors are prohibited from deanonymizing their papers by posting them on ArXiv or elsewhere. After the review period, all reviewers' scores and comments will be simultaneously revealed publicly and anonymously below each submission. (We will not allow anonymous public comments from non-reviewers). Immediately upon decision of acceptance/rejection or withdrawal, the author identities of each submission will be revealed. Submitting to GI is format agnostic! Submissions can use any recent ACM SIGGRAPH, SIGCHI or Eurographics/Computer Graphics Forum formatting. Accepted papers will be required to reformat to a consistent GI 2020 template before uploading a final revision. https://openreview.net/group?id=graphicsinterface.org/Graphics_Interface/20… < https://openreview.net/group?id=graphicsinterface.org/Graphics_Interface/20…> Thank you, Alec Jacobson and Fanny Chevalier Graphics Interface 2020 Paper Chairs --------------------------------------------------------------- For news of CHI books, courses & software, join CHI-RESOURCES mailto: chi-resources-subscribe-request(a)listserv.acm.org To unsubscribe from CHI-ANNOUNCEMENTS send an email to mailto:chi-announcements-unsubscribe-request@listserv.acm.org For further details of CHI lists see http://listserv.acm.org ---------------------------------------------------------------
