Learning Outcomes (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

Specialization in state-of-the-art research topics on user interfaces;

Content (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

Decided per case.

Details on the course content (applies in this implementation): 

For Spring 2019, the topic of the course is "Intelligent User Interfaces". The course will be held as a studio-styled workshop. An introduction and tutorial will be provided at the beginning of each session, followed by hands-on implementation and group discussions. The course will cover 3 segments:

I. Constructing an intelligent input device

  1. Arduino intro
  2. Software control of input - input pipeline etc.
  3. Gesture recognition w. machine learning
  4. Final presentation

II. Automatically Constructing UI Layouts

  1.  Techniques for generating UIs (e.g. User models, Data Mining / Deep Learning, Integer programming, etc.)
  2.  Implementing automatic generation of UIs based on sample design tasks
  3.  Integrating into a design tool to enable mixed-initiative design
  4.  Final presentation

III. Adaptive Interfaces

  • Adaptive Input: Adapting the behaviour of an input device based on the user's history
  • Adaptive Layouts: Adapting the UI layout based on the user's interactions

This is an advanced course for students specializing in user interfaces and HCI. The course is organized one or two times per year, each time with a different topic. The course follows a research-driven teaching approach where researchers provide materials and supervision on state-of-the-art topics. Topics are announced in the MyCourses page or can be inquired per email from the tacher. Students can also suggest personalized topics.

Details on the schedule (applies in this implementation): 

The course will last for 2 periods (about 9–10 weeks). Each of the segments described above will be covered over 3 weeks duration.

The first course meeting will be on 4 February, 2019.
