Her thesis work significantly contributes to understanding modern typing behavior and proposes new mathematical and computational methods for designing novel text input methods. The work formulates a theoretical basis for using exact optimization methods to optimize the problem of assigning symbols to input actions for text input. Therefore, she conducted extensive empirical studies of human…

The grande finale of Research Project in Human-Computer Interaction (ELEC-E7861) took place yesterday, when five students presented their results to faculty and involved companies. Foveated graphics for cloud gaming (Thomas van Gemert) Modeling thermostat use as a POMDP (Ville Ojaniemi) Learnability issues in a video conferencing tool (Viet Ba Mai) Recognizing native language from keystroke…
The User Interfaces group, headed by Assoc. Prof. Antti Oulasvirta and funded by the European Research Council (ERC), is a leading group in the area of modeling and optimization of user interface designs. It has a strong track record in the top venues of HCI, including CHI, UIST, and IUI. The group has previously studied…
open-science-plan-TEMPLATE.pdf Since the beginning of 2018, we have adopted Open Science practices in our group. Why? For reasons related to ethics, quality, and impact. We are mostly funded by taxpayers, in the European context for example by the ERC. We are — morally and increasingly also legally — obliged to make our work as widely…
Yi-Chi Liao was born in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. He received his Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) and Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree from National Taiwan University in Information Management Department. During the master years, Yi-Chi explored some novel haptic and touch interaction with Professor Bing-Yu Chen and Professor Liwei Chan. In the PhD studies,…
