[Bburg-fac] Sheik Murad Hassan Anik's final defense scheduled at 10am on 8/16/24
by Meng, Na 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

Hi all, You’re invited to attend Anik’s PhD dissertation defense. Title: Advancing The Development and Utilization of Data Infrastructure for Smart Homes Date: Friday, August 16, 2024 Time: 10:00am-12:00pm Zoom: https://virginiatech.zoom.us/j/89003802451 Abstract: The smart home era is inevitably arising towards our everyday life. However, the scarcity of publicly available data remains a major hurdle in the domain, limiting people’s capability of performing data analysis and their effectiveness in creating smart home automations. To mitigate this hurdle and its influence, our research explored three research directions to (1) create a better infrastructure that effectively collects and visualizes indoor-environment sensing data, (2) create a machine learning-based approach to demonstrate a novel way of analyzing indoor-environment data to facilitate human-centered building design, and (3) conduct an empirical study to explore the challenges and opportunities in existing smart home development. Specifically, we conducted three research projects. First, we created an open-source IoT-based cost-effective, distributed, scalable, and portable indoor environmental data collection system, Building Data Lite (BDL). We deployed this research prototype in 12 households, which deployment so far has collected more than 2 million records we made publicly available. Second, building occupant persona is a very important component in human-centered smart home design, so we investigated an approach of applying state-of-the-art machine-learning models to data collected by an existing infrastructure, to enable the automatic creation of building occupant persona while minimizing human effort. Third, Home Assistant (HA) is an open-source off-the-shelf smart home platforms that users frequently leverage to transform their residences into smart homes. However, many users seem to be stuck with the configuration scripts of home automations. We conducted an empirical study by (1) crawling posts on an HA forum, (2) manually analyzing those posts to understand users’ common technical concerns as well as frequently recommended resolutions, and (3) applying existing tools to assess the tool usefulness in alleviating users’ pain. All our research projects will shed light on future directions in smart home design and development. Cheers, Na

Taha Hassan's PhD defense
by Scott McCrickard 13 Aug '24

13 Aug '24

CS colleagues, You are invited to the final PhD defense of Taha Hassan, tomorrow at 2pm. Details are below. Best, Scott Ph.D. defense of Taha Hassan Title: Contours of Prerogative: Trust, Editorial Intent, and Recommender Systems for Supporting Higher Education Date and time: August 14, 2024 2pm-4pm Location: Torgerson Hall room 1100 https://virginiatech.zoom.us/my/tahahassan Abstract: Institutional support of higher teaching and learning at scale poses three unique challenges. The first challenge is poor institutional accounting of instructors' use of educational platforms and software, especially the learning management system (LMS). The second challenge is a deficit of trust among stakeholders with unique job roles, prerogatives, and editorial preferences. The third challenge is one-size-fits-all, open-loop, or stopgap support processes. To address these challenges, this three-phase dissertation project proposes a novel sociotechnical framework for institutional support using trustworthy educational recommender systems. This framework accounts for LMS platform contexts, multiple stakeholders, and editorial trust relationships. In its first phase, the project proposes "Depth of Use" (DOU): a first-principles framework of frequent LMS use-contexts. DOU is found to highlight low-adoption course cohorts, evaluate course design interventions, and improve IT emergency preparedness. The second phase of this project proposes a novel model of recommendation trustworthiness based in stakeholder allocation of RS editorial tasks. The study discovers a spectrum of faculty intentions about editorial division-of-labor and its frequent rationales, including student expertise, professional curriculum needs, authorship burdens at scale, and learner disengagement. In its third phase, the project investigates how editorial trust might be enhanced by transparency cues (guarantees, social proof, content tags). The dissertation concludes with a set of design guidelines to aid HCI practitioners in enhancing editorial transparency and algorithmic explainability, and increasing process efficacy of institutional support. -- Scott McCrickard Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science, Virginia Tech Co-Director, Human-Centered Design IGEP Program, Virginia Tech mccricks(a)cs.vt.edu http://people.cs.vt.edu/~mccricks/ https://techonthetrail.net/ https://hcd.icat.vt.edu/

Hello, My name is Maha Sajid, and I am a researcher at Private Eye-Lab and SNAIL Lab, working under the supervision of Dr. Brendan David-John and Dr. Bo Ji. We are conducting an exciting user study (IRB# 24-337) that explores how users perceive security threats in a mixed reality environment during remote collaborative tasks using augmented reality (AR) technology. What the Study Involves: Participants will be asked to collaborate with another individual in a tower-building task using the Microsoft HoloLens 2, an AR head-worn display (HWD). You have the option to bring a friend to participate with you, or we can pair you with another participant. The study will take approximately 90 minutes, and you will be compensated $20 in cash for your time. Requirements: * Proficiency in reading and writing in English * At least 18 years of age * Normal vision (contact lenses are acceptable; however, glasses are not supported) The study will take place at Gilbert Place, Room #3214, and participation will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Your involvement will have no impact on your employment, grades, or academic performance. How to Participate: If you’re interested, please fill out this form<https://forms.office.com/r/XkhZ4Ts197>.

08 Aug '24

Hi everyone! The Echolab at VT is seeking students with basic Python programming experience for a study. Participants will join an in-person group session (60-75 minutes) where they will watch two ~15-minute programming lectures, take notes using a web application, and fill out surveys. An additional survey will be sent out one week after the in-person session. For their time, participants will receive a $30 Amazon gift card. Participants don’t need to be Python experts, but should have experience at least equivalent to taking an intro class like CS 1064, Intro to Python (e.g., comfort using if-then statements, defining functions, etc.). Interested participants can fill out the following form: https://forms.gle/qGpU19AvW7bSf9YZ9. The actual study will take place between August 13 and 29th – we will reach out separately for scheduling, and will take participants on a first-come first-serve basis. This study has been approved by the Virginia Tech IRB Board (IRB #24-165). For questions, contact danielmanesh(a)vt.edu. Thanks! Daniel

Shakiba Davari's final defense
by Bowman, Douglas 08 Aug '24

08 Aug '24

CS colleagues, You are invited to join us for the final PhD defense of Shakiba Davari, tomorrow at 12 PM. All the details are below. Best, Doug Intelligent AR (iAR): Context-aware Inference and Adaptation in Augmented Reality Ph.D. defense of Shakiba Davari August 9, 2024 12:00-2:00 PM Gilbert Place 3211 https://virginiatech.zoom.us/j/6308162212 Augmented Reality (AR) transforms the entire 3D space around the user into a dynamic screen, surpassing the limitations of traditional displays and enabling efficient access to multiple pieces of information simultaneously, all day, every day. Recent developments in AR eyeglasses promise that AR could become the next generation of personal computing devices. To realize this vision of pervasive AR, the AR interface must address the challenges posed by constant and omnipresent virtual content. As the user’s context changes, the virtual content in AR head-worn displays can occasionally become obtrusive, hindering the user’s perception and awareness of their surroundings and their interaction with both the virtual and physical worlds. An intelligent interface is needed to adapt the presentation and interaction of AR content. This dissertation outlines a roadmap towards effective, efficient, and unobtrusive AR through intelligent AR (iAR) systems that automatically learn and adapt the interface to the user’s context. To achieve this goal, we: (1) Design multiple context-aware AR interfaces and explore their design and effectiveness in various contexts through four experiments; (2) Propose a design space for XR interfaces; (3) Provide a taxonomy of quantifiable contextual components; (4) Propose a framework and architecture for designing iAR interfaces. -- Doug A.
