Hi Everyone, As some of us know too well, CHI reviews are coming out soon. This week we have a well-timed HCI meeting where we'll be having a group discussion that I lead on how to write effective rebuttals and also we'll talk a bit on what being tilt proof means when it comes to reading our reviews. Excited to see you all on Wednesday!

SubjectLine : Undergrad Coop Research Opportunity at Waterloo (deadline Fri 12 Nov, also deadlines in Winter & Summer 2021) https://grec.cs.uwaterloo.ca/ 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).

Research HCI Meeting Tomorrow
by Blaine Lewis 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

Hi Everyone! Tomorrow in the HCI meeting we will talk about brainstorming sessions, tips on how to make the best of them… plus discuss how we can have productive brainstorming sessions in covid times. And naturally, what better way do that than via a brainstorming session on (remote) brainstorming? :D If you have a few idle minutes today, try to think of ways we can better support remote brainstorming. And join us tomorrow at 10am. Best, Blaine
