Workshop at Ubicomp/ISWC 2024
October 5, 2024
Melbourne, Australia
We invite researchers and practitioners who use physiological data to measure user experience in information interaction to submit their contributions as a short research summary or position paper
(4 pages in the SIGCONF one-column format, excluding references)
discussing one or more of the workshop themes.
Each submission will be reviewed by the workshop organizers and members of the program committee and accepted based on the quality of the submission,
the potential to generate fruitful discussions, and the diversity of perspectives.
Accepted submissions will be invited to give a talk at our workshop and featured on the ACM DL (as part of the UbiComp/ISWC '24 Adjunct Proceedings).
Single-blind review: Submissions are NOT anonymous, and authors should list their details in their submissions.
To submit your contribution, please go to PCS (https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions), select conference "UbiComp/ISWC 2024" and select track "UbiComp/ISWC 2024: Workshop on Physiological Methods for HII".
Please correspond any question to biosignal.ubicomp24@gmail.com.
Our workshop proposal is available here.
Deadline for Workshop Paper Submissions: June 7 June 21 July 2, 2024 (AoE time)
Notification of Acceptance: June 28, 2024
Workshop Date: October 5, 2024
We invite contributions that discuss one or more of the following research themes across various scenarios, e.g., audio, web, or mobile interactions. In this regard, we also welcome authors to submit replication studies, negative results, and open datasets.
What cognitive activities impact the interaction between humans and information? We aim to uncover cognitive activities involved in HII and build a common understanding among cross-disciplinary researchers. Previous research has investigated a diverse set of cognitive activities, e.g.,relevance judgment[1], information satisfaction[2], and cognitive biases[3]. We welcome discussions with regards to different interaction scenarios that involve information-based activities. This includes but is not limited to web search, conversational search, social media interactions, or interactions with Large Language Models.
What tools and modalities can quantify cognitive activities in HII? What are the ground truths, and do we need them? How can we ensure that the collected data are ecologically valid? What are the considerations for using physiological sensors in HII settings? Past research has employed several modalities of physiological signals to quantify cognitive activities in HII; for example, Electrodermal Activity (EDA) [4],[5], Electroencephalography (EEG) [6], Blood Volume Pulse [7], Pupillary Responses [8], or Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) [9]. Yet, we lack a clear community standard for processing these data in the realm of Information Interaction. To date, research in HCI has suggested guidelines for collecting and processing EDA [10] and brain signals [11].
We seek to explore how cognitive activity quantification can impact human-information interaction. What kind of applications would cognitive activity quantification enable and benefit users of information systems? At the same time, what are ethical, legal, and privacy considerations arising from employing physiological sensors in HII?
We would like to see realistic cases where the utilization of physiological signals has been adopted into research related to human-information interaction.
