Human-Centered Computing Webinar

Join fellow alumni and friends to learn how University of Minnesota researchers are advancing the theory and practice of human-centered and social computing by experimenting with systems that impact the lives of real people. During this virtual panel, Computer Science & Engineering faculty from the GroupLens lab will give an overview of current research directions that they are most excited about, including:
- Using Human-Centered Machine Learning to identify dangerous health behaviors in online communities
- Understanding the nature of social support in online health communities, and creating techniques to enable more and better support
- Creating novel systems for supporting children’s social connections in family and school contexts
- Personalization in recommender systems; designing recommender systems to serve the needs of multiple stakeholders
- How bulk email is flooding organizations, and what to do about it
- How to make video conference meetings more effective and equitable.

Following a brief presentation on their thoughts on these topics, the panelists will open the floor for general Q&A.
