Smart cities leverage sensor technology to monitor urban spaces in real-time. Still, discrepancies in sensor data can lead to uncertainty about city conditions. Mobile crowdsourcing, where on-site individuals offer real-time details, is a potential ...

This workshop aims to facilitate human participants to become more aware of other animals’ sensory and aesthetic sensibilities, raising points for discussion and future research within ACI. For all animals, being able to make sense of the environment is ...

The identities we hold have a relationship with how we come to express and understand our experiences of illness. Language forms a means for us to express this understanding and experience to others, and receive information to clarify our own ...

We investigate instant-messaging (IM) users’ sense-making and practices around read-receipts: a feature of IM apps for supporting the awareness of turn-taking, i.e., whether a message recipient has read a message. Using a grounded-theory approach, we ...

John Stewart commits himself to the defence of a demanding version of enaction. Among its many original features, John’s version of enaction includes a questionable form of anti-representationalism, and leaves room for the Varelian idea that ...

City dashboards present information about a city to a broad audience with some thought given as to how some of these audiences might understand the information. However, little research has looked at how ’citizens’ make sense of dashboards. Using two ...

Self-tracking technologies, ranging from digital thermometers to wearable fitness trackers, allow users to use personal data accumulated from their everyday activities. But, to use these data, people have to make sense of how these numbers and figures ...

As the use of machine learning (ML) models in product development and data-driven decision-making processes became pervasive in many domains, people's focus on building a well-performing model has increasingly shifted to understanding how their model ...

Feedback from diverse audiences can vary in focus, differ in structure, and contradict each other, making it hard to interpret and act on. While prior work has explored generating quality feedback, our work helps a designer interpret that feedback. ...

Infertility can place a significant burden on couples and individuals when trying to conceive. Approximately 20-30% of all cases of infertility are due to male-related factors. Whatever the cause of difficulty in conceiving, little is known about how men ...

How do the specific, predefined ways data brokers like Garmin or Fitbit render personal biometric data for us hinder-or enhance-our ability to find meaning in our data? Using a Garmin activity tracker as a platform, I present a series of recipes for ...

From 22 January 2019 to 24 January 2019, the 4E Cognition Group held the “Second Workshop on Enactive Approaches to Mind in Health and Disease” at Instituto de Investigaciones en Matemáticas Aplicadas y en Sistemas (IIMAS) in Mexico City, Mexico. The aim ...

In his article “From Sensorimotor Dependencies to Perceptual Practices”, Alejandro Arango presents a case for socialising enactive perception. While noting the importance of understanding perception as embodied, he argues that addressing just the issues ...

Social robots, understood as the category of embodied robots extending into social domains through reciprocal social interaction, are still a practical novelty in most of these domains today. However, the phenomenon of novelty effects is only ...

This paper describes a new technique for quantifying interaction dynamics during open-ended co-creation, such as collaborative drawing or playing pretend. We present a cognitive framework called creative sense-making. This framework synthesizes existing ...

We present an exploration into the use of dimensional reasoning and the creation of research design spaces. We hypothesized that researchers, engaged in open-ended creative problem solving, could adapt the methods of design thinking and design spaces to ...

This paper identifies a body of HCI research wherein the researchers take part in digitally mediated creative experiences alongside participants. We present our definition and rationale for "self-situated performance research" based on theories in both ...

We introduce topic-relevance map, an interactive search result visualization that assists rapid information comprehension across a large ranked set of results. The topic-relevance map visualizes a topical overview of the search result space as keywords ...
