Feature Importance Identification for Time Series Classifiers (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Meng, H., Wagner, C., & Triguero, I. (2022, October). Feature Importance Identification for Time Series Classifiers. Presented at 2022 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC), Prague, Czech Republic

Time series classification is a challenging research area where machine learning techniques such as deep learning perform well, yet lack interpretability. Identifying the most important features for such classifiers provides a pathway to improving th... Read More about Feature Importance Identification for Time Series Classifiers.

Legal Provocations for HCI in the Design and Development of Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, L. D., McGarry, G., & Crabtree, A. (2022, October). Legal Provocations for HCI in the Design and Development of Trustworthy Autonomous Systems. Presented at NordiCHI '22: Nordic Human-Computer Interaction Conference, Aarhus, Denmark

We propose a series of legal provocations emerging from the proposed European Union Artificial Intelligence Act 2021 (AIA) and explore how they open up new possibilities for HCI in the design and development of trustworthy autonomous systems. The AIA... Read More about Legal Provocations for HCI in the Design and Development of Trustworthy Autonomous Systems.

Supporting Awareness of Visual Impairments and Accessibility Reflections through Video Demos and Design Cards (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
