User Interfaces at Aalto University – Computational interaction: Modeling, optimization, machine learning

“We use computers to make computers easier to use”

The group investigates computational methods for generation and adaptation of user interfaces. Application areas range from classic UIs like keyboards, menus, buttons, and web pages to novel input methods like gestural interaction. Our research includes mathematical and computational modelling of interactive behavior — including human capacities like perception, attention, learning, experience, and motor control — and relevant algorithmic methods such as optimization and machine learning.

Interactive AI research / Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence FCAI

The group participates in research on methods for collaborative forms of AI at FCAI. Our research develops models and theories that allow AI to infer human beliefs and abilities from observations and predict the consequences of their actions on humans.

Funding

The group is funded by the European Research Council (Starting Grant COMPUTED), Academy of Finland, the Technology Industries of Finland, and FCAI.
