Lecture Introduction to Intelligent User Interfaces
Lecturer: Prof. Sven MayerTutorials: Jesse Grootjen, Thomas Weber
Hours per week: 2 (Lecture) + 2 (Tutorial)
ECTS credits: 6
Language: English
Module: WP 12 Vertiefende Themen für Master Medieninformatik, Informatik und MCI
Capacity: max. 100
Syllabus
The module Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) looks at current topics within the intersection of human computer interaction and machine learning. The course focuses on the adaptation of techniques originating from machine learning and artificial intelligence for practical applications within the research area of human computer interaction. Topics include (tentative):
- Voice User Interfaces
- Natural Language Processing
- Recommender Systems
- Explainability of Intelligent Systems
- Physiologically-Based Interfaces
Students are expected to create their own intelligent system (in groups of four) over the course of the semester and present intermediate milestones throughout the tutorials. These include short concept presentations: explain how a new aspect as presented in the lecture integrates into your system; and milestone presentations a week later that showcase the implementation. This cycle repeats bi-weekly. Tutorials will also be used to introduce lecture topics in the form of hands-on exercises.
