The Weak Science of Human-Computer Interaction

چکیده
This article is about science and the discipline of humancomputer interaction (HCI). Science in HCI is merely one component of a wider agenda; alone science is not sufficient for ‘good’ HCI (whatever that is). We argue that science is necessary, but the way that science is undertaken—or purported to be undertaken—in HCI is inadequate. Failures are due to the sparsity of theories and risky hypotheses, the pragmatic difficulty of substantiating experiments through replication, and the over-generalization of experimental results.

Machine Learning and Citizen Science: Opportunities and Challenges of Human-Computer Interaction
Background and Aim: In processing large data, scientists have to perform the tedious task of analyzing hefty bulk of data. Machine learning techniques are a potential solution to this problem. In citizen science, human and artificial intelligence may be unified to facilitate this effort. Considering the ambiguities in machine performance and management of user-generated data, this paper aims to...
متن کاملConstruction and Analysis of Tissue-Specific Protein-Protein Interaction Networks in Humans
We have studied the changes in protein-protein interaction network of 38 different tissues of the human body. 123 gene expression samples from these tissues were used to construct human protein-protein interaction network. This network is then pruned using the gene expression samples of each tissue to construct different protein-protein interaction networks corresponding to different studied ti...
متن کاملHuman Computer Interaction Using Vision-Based Hand Gesture Recognition
With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...

متن کاملStudy of Ultra-weak CW and Amplitude-Modulated Microwaves effects on stem Cell Proliferation: an Experimental and Hypothetical Approach
Weak microwave radiation (WMR) in our environment has raised health concerns in the public. Among those, communication frequencies are more than ever becoming widespread and their effects need thorough studies. A correct understanding of these effects in-vivo by in-vitro experiments shall preferentially use primary cells. In this study we compared non-modulated (CW) and modulated WMR exposure o...
