People who manage public facilities and spaces during the COVID-19 pandemic have lots of new questions that artificial intelligence and computer vision technology could help answer, such as:
Mayank Goel, assistant professor with the School of Computer Science's HCII and ISR, recently received a 2019 Human-Computer Interaction Google Faculty Research Award.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) and Amazon have announced that two Carnegie Mellon University researchers have been awarded a research grant as part of the NSF's Program on Fairness in Artificial Intelligence (AI), in collaboration with Amazon.
Carnegie Mellon University learning engineers are heading to rural Panama to help teachers improve student outcomes in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) courses. Greg Bunyea, a recent graduate of the Masters of Educational Technology and Applied Learning Science program, will lead the work.
Last year, a team of CyLab researchers explored the account-sharing behaviors of romantic couples and found that some of their practices could compromise security. Building off that study, the team wanted to explore the account-sharing behaviors of another subset of people: employees within a company or organization.
While training and feedback opportunities abound for K-12 educators, the same can't be said for instructors in higher education. Currently, the most effective mechanism for professional development is for an expert to observe a lecture and provide personalized feedback. But a new system developed by Carnegie Mellon University researchers offers a comprehensive real-time sensing system that is inexpensive and scalable to create a continuous feedback loop for the instructor.
Researchers had a rare opportunity to peek "under the hood" of the Carnegie Mellon University Libraries' two Enigma machines, opening the World War II-era machines to photograph their carefully-crafted interiors and to locate and record the serial numbers printed on their rotors.
People with visual impairments use social media like everyone else, often with the help of screen reader software. But that technology falls short when it encounters memes, which don't include alternate text, or alt text, to describe what's depicted in the image.
The Human-Computer Interaction Institute is currently seeking client sponsors for spring semester 2020 projects.
Capstone projects are a partnership that benefit both parties involved. Project sponsors get hundreds of hours of skilled research and development, while our students gain valuable experience working on a real-world project.
If you are interested in partnering with the HCII this spring, details about the undergraduate and graduate level HCI capstone projects are below.
