Review of Intelligent User Interfaces: An Introduction

1
Review of Intelligent User Interfaces An
Introduction

• CAP5937 Affective Computing
• Gil Barrett

2
Two Major Areas of Discussion

• Introduction to Intelligent User Interfaces
  (IUI)
• Overview of the collection of readings contained
  in Readings in Intelligent User Interfaces

3
Motivation

• WIMP (windows, icons, menus, and pointing) now
  standard for most apps
• IUIs will provide adaptivity, context
  sensitivity, and task assistance
• IUIs should be learnable, usable, and transparent

4
Definition

• Intelligent User Interfaces are human-machine
  interfaces that aim to improve the effiency,
  effectiveness, and naturalness of human-machine
  interaction by representing, reasoning, and
  acting on models of the user, domain, task,
  discourse, and media.

5
Definitions

• Mode or Modality refers primarily to the human
  senses vision, audition, olfaction, touch, and
  taste.
• Medium refers to the material object used for
  presenting or saving information (I/O devices)
• Code refers to a system of symbols (natural
  language, pictorial language, gestural language)

6
Relationship Between Medium, Mode, and Code
7
Whats Not Mentioned?

• Human mediums
• eyes, ears, skin, etc.

IUI Architecture

Current Interface Pratice Related to IUI
10
No Generation w/o Representation

• Various constiuents of multimodal
  communication should be generated on the fly from
  a common representation of what is to be conveyed
  w/o using any preplanned text or images.

11
AIs Application to UIs
