In the context of “User Centred Design” course, Professor Quigley delivered a series of lectures on Ubiquitous User Interfaces in the University of Lleida, Spain. These lectures draw on a number of SACHI research group studies from work published in UIST, CHI, MobileHCI, IUI, AVI and UMAP.
A SICSA Education workshop on Learning Analytics for Improving Evidence-based Teaching will be organised in St Andrews during summer 2018 by Dr Kasim Terzic.
Abstract: Dependent types are a wonderful way to construct correct functional programming and specify interfaces as Edwin has shown in his nice book on type driven development using a welsh dragon. But shall we go further in the esoteric world of homotopy type theory? I will try to motivate this and I am looking forward … Why Homotopy type Theory (HoTT) matters – Professor Thorsten Altenkirch
Abstract: The increasing complexity of codes with the growing number of cores that should be utilised make such codes hard to optimise and maintain. In this talk, we present the OpenMP and MPI refactoring implemented in the ParaFormance tool. This tool transforms the sequential code into parallel code able to run on shared memory machines. … The OpenMP and MPI refactoring with ParaFormance – Turkey Alsalkini
Congratulations to Aaron on being appointed as a Distinguished Speaker for the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The esteemed Distinguished Speaker Program brings together international thought leaders from academia, industry, and government to give presentations to ACM chapters, members, and the greater IT community in a variety of venues and formats. The outreach program coordinates … Professor Aaron Quigley to Join ACM Distinguished Speaker Program
This week members of the SACHI research group are in Canada for the annual CHI conference where they are presenting 8 papers and other research work. Their research papers have been attracting media interest this week. The Times has covered their paper on Change blindness in proximity-aware mobile interfaces quoting Professor Quigley. App … SACHI research group in Canada for the annual CHI conference
The ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) series of academic conferences is generally considered the most prestigious in the field of human-computer interaction. It is hosted by ACM SIGCHI, the Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction. CHI has been held annually since 1982 and attracts thousands of international attendees. Next week members … SACHI at CHI 2018 in Montreal next week
Steven Drost (CodeBase Chief Strategy Officer) and Jamie Coleman (CodeBase CoFounder and Chair) will talk about the topics that are rarely discussed in an academic environment around startups, product management, jobs to be done and disruption. Discussing aspects of UX, HCI, AI and systems development this is the stuff that they wish every computer scientist … War Stories: Building new tech products in an uncertain world
Abstract In this talk, I will talk about the possibility of using Bayesian nonparametric clustering, or Dirichlet Process Mixture model to solve human activity recognition problem. In particular, I will discuss how the technique can be useful when the activity labels are not annotated and/or the activity evolves over the time. This initial study is … SRG Seminar: “Application of Bayesian Nonparametric in household human activity recognition” by Lei Fang
Abstract Data processing paradigms are undergoing a paradigm shift as we move more and more towards real time processing. Emerging software models such as the SMACK stack are at the forefront of this change, focused on a pipeline processing model, but are also introducing new levels of operational complexity in running multiple complex distributed systems … SRG Seminar: “Introduction to Apache Mesos and the DataCenter Operating System” by Matt Jarvis
