We live in the Information Age where information is vital to our work. This implies that the more information we have, the better equipped we are to perform work. Working under the constant drive to be more productive, it is a foreseeable future where everyone works in synergy and partnership with AI agents in order to do more. To achieve this, a preferably simple and robust framework should facilitate the collaboration across a network of different humans and machines. As advancements in AI (narrow or otherwise) models continue, we will invariably reach a stage where humans and AI need to coexist in an interactive and personalised manner different from today’s largely invisible AI mainly operating autonomously in the background. In this work, our main contribution is the creation of a type theoretic framework enabling the orchestration of human-expressed intent(s), associated data and implementation(s) in a distributed manner which mirrors real world complex working environments where work plans are evolving and even disjoint due to lack of bigger picture.

The purpose of the AAAI conference is to promote research in artificial intelligence (AI) and scientific exchange among AI researchers, practitioners, scientists, and engineers in affiliated disciplines.

The 8th AAAI Conference on Human Computation and Crowdsourcing (HCOMP 2020) will be held October 26–28th virtually at The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision in Hilversum, The Netherlands.

While artificial intelligence (AI) and human-computer interaction (HCI) represent traditional mainstays of the conference, HCOMP believes strongly in fostering and promoting broad, interdisciplinary research. Our field is particularly unique in the diversity of disciplines it draws upon and contributes to, including human-centered qualitative studies and HCI design, social computing, artificial intelligence, economics, computational social science, digital humanities, policy, and ethics. We promote the exchange of advances in human computation and crowdsourcing not only among researchers, but also engineers and practitioners, to encourage dialogue across disciplines and communities of practice.

This year, we especially invite works that will generate new insights into the quality (or qualities) of human-annotated datasets, including elements such as reliability and replicability of human computation and crowdsourcing experiments, novel metrics for aggregation of results, and holistic approaches to deal with bias, fairness and interpretability.

As a visual artist, datasets are a core part of both my process and output. I will talk about what I believe at dataset to be; the compiling and training machine learning on datasets; exploring how datasets are created and possibilities for overcoming bias the different ways they can be constructed and some of the the issues, problems, solutions with working with them. In particular I will be focusing on classification and the consequences of using it in datasets, machine learning, and artistic works.

Using Machine Learning in an Artistic Context: Classification and Consquences

User engagement plays a central role in companies and organisations that aimed to personalise their online services. A main challenge is to leverage knowledge about the online interaction of users to understand what engages them. A common way that engagement is measured and understood is through the definition and development of metrics of user satisfaction, which can act as a proxy of user engagement. This talk will present various works and personal thoughts on how to measure user engagement. It will discuss the definition and development of metrics of user satisfaction that can be used as a proxy of user engagement. An important message is that, for personalisation to work both in the short and the long-term, it is important to consider the heterogeneity of both user and content to formalise the notion of engagement, and in turn design the appropriate metrics to capture these and optimize for. One way to achieve this is to follow these four steps: 1) Understanding intents; 2) Optimizing for the right metric; 3) Acting on segmentation; and 4) Thinking about diversity. The talk will illustrate these steps with some of the research at Spotify.
