Brown Bag Lunch Schedule

2016-02-12T23:53:47Z

Khara: Updated the BBL schedule

The HCIL has an open, semi-organized weekly "brown bag lunch (BBL)" every <span style='color:red; font-weight:800'>Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing)</span>. The topics range from someone's work, current interests in the HCIL, software demos/reviews, study design, proposed research topics, introductions to new people, etc. The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with <span style='color:red; font-weight:800'>free food every week</span>. There is no RSVP; simply show up!

If you would like to give or suggest a talk, presentation, workshop, etc., send an email to BBL student co-coordinators '''Austin Beck (austinbb@umd.edu)''' or '''Leyla Norooz (leylan@umd.edu)'''. In the email, briefly describe the topic and preferred dates.

To be notified about upcoming events, please subscribe one of [[BBL mailing lists|these mailing lists]].

We thank YAHOO for its sponsorship of the HCIL Brown Bag Lunches

Printing Pictures in 3D
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<br>
'''Abstract''': The Tactile Picture Book Project (TPBP) is a research endeavor that utilizes 3D printing as a new media platform for designing, developing, and distributing information in a tangible format. The mission of TPBP is to give children with visual impairments access to a lot more pictures they can "see" by touch and feel. To date, the TPBP team has made 3D adaptations for several children's book classics such as Goodnight Moon, Harold and the Purple Crayon, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Dear Zoo, and Noah's Ark. In this talk, Yeh will demonstrate examples of 3D pictures, discuss the technical challenges encountered in creating these pictures, and share the many valuable lessons learned through the process. In addition, Yeh will present CraftML, a new 3D modeling markup language designed to mimic common web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and Javascript. CraftML allows web designers without prior 3D modeling experience to easily bring their creative talents and design skills to the domain of 3D modeling. The TPBP is supported by a research grant from the National Science Foundation and has appeared in several news outlets such as 9News, Newsweek, DailyCamera, DailyMail, New Scientist, Science Daily, and NPR. (For more information see: https://craftml.io, http://3da11y.info/, http://www.tactilepicturebooks.org/)
<br><br>
'''Bio''': Tom Yeh received his PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for studying vision-based user interfaces. In 2012, he joined the University of Colorado Boulder (CU) as an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science. Prior to joining CU, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS). Dr. Yeh's research interests include 3D printing, big data, citizen science, and mobile security. He has published more than 30 articles across these interest areas. He has received best paper awards and honorable mentions from CHI, UIST, and MobileHCI. In 2014, he received the Student Affairs Faculty of the Year Award. Dr. Yeh's research projects are funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

Citizen Interaction Design and its Implications for HCI
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<br>
'''Abstract''': Cliff Lampe will be describing the Citizen Interaction Design program at the University of Michigan, which has the goals of teaching HCI and UX skills to students by having them work on civic engagement applications in coordination with Michigan cities. The goals of the program are to explore the role of HCI in civic engagement, to train students in the concept of sustainable interaction design, and to develop new forms of “town/gown” relationships. Dr. Lampe will describe the elements of the program, and then discuss the pros and cons of different efforts over the last three years. The talk will conclude by placing CID in the context of larger trends in HCI and social computing research, in particular the expanding set of domains that HCI is trying to cover - and what that means for rigorous research.
<br><br>
'''Bio''': Cliff Lampe is an Associate Professor at the University of Michigan School of Information. His research focuses on prosocial outcomes of social computing systems, including the positive effects of social media interaction, civic engagement through social software, and nonprofit use of social computing tools. In that work, he’s collaborated on studies of sites like Facebook, Reddit, Wikipedia, Ask.fm, Slashdot and more. Cliff is serving as the Technical Program Chair for CHI2016 and CHI2017, as Vice President for Publications for ACM SIGCHI, and as Steering Committee Chair Elect for the CSCW community. In Dungeons and Dragons, he prefers the Druid player class.

Working on ENIAC: The Lost Labors of the Information Age
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<br>
'''Abstract''': Books and shows about the history of information technology have usually focused on great inventors and technical breakthroughs, from Charles Babbage and Alan Turing to Steve Jobs and the World Wide Web. Computer operations work has been written out of the story, but without it no computer would be useful. Information historians Thomas Haigh and Mark Priestley are writing it back in. This talk focused on ENIAC, the first general purpose electronic computer, based on research for their book ENIAC in Action: Making and Remaking the Modern Computer, published by MIT Press in January, 2016. They explains that the women now celebrated as the “first computer programmers” were actually hired as computer operators and worked hands-on with the machine around the clock. They then look at business data processing work from the 1950s onward, exploring the grown of operations and facilities work during the mainframe era. Concluding comments relate this historical material to the human work and physical infrastructure today vanishing from public view into the “cloud.”
<br><br>
'''Bio''':
Thomas Haigh received his Ph.D. in History and Sociology of Science from the University of Pennsylvania after earning two degrees in Computer Science from the University of Manchester. Haigh has published on many aspects of the history of computing including the evolution of data base management systems, word processing, the software package concept, corporate computer departments, Internet software, computing in science fiction, computer architecture, and the gendered division of work in data processing. As well as ENIAC in Action (MIT, 2016) he edited Histories of Computing (Harvard, 2011), a collection of the work of Michael S. Mahoney. He write the “Historical Reflections” column for Communications of the ACM. His new projects are an reexamination of the wartime Colossus codebreaking machine and a book, Acolytes of Information, on the history of information systems work in the American corporation.

Keshif: Data Exploration using Aggregate Summaries and Multi-Mode Linked Selections
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<br>
'''Abstract:''' We present a new aggregation and multi-mode linked selection framework for data exploration. To enable scalable data overviews, aggregates group records by their attribute values and measure group characteristics within data summaries. To reveal details, linked selections visualize data distributions on aggregations upon interaction with three complementary modes: highlighting, filtering, comparison. This model is domain independent, expressive, minimal, and scalable, and constructs an exploration space without the complexity of manual visualizations and interaction specification tasks. We implemented this framework for tabular data as a web-based tool, Keshif. A Keshif data browser combines summarized aggregations on existing or calculated attributes, and individual records. Data exploration is supported from importing raw data, to authoring, sharing, and forking data browsers, through a fluid, consistent, rapid, and animated interaction design. We demonstrate aggregation designs for multiple data types (categorical, set-typed, numeric, timestamp, spatial) using various glyphs and non-overlapping visualizations (bar, line, icon, disc, geo-area). We illustrate examples from 130+ publicly published Keshif data browsers from diverse domains.
<br><br>
'''Bio:''' M. Adil Yalcin, is a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Computer Science at University of Maryland, College Park, and a member of Human Computer Interaction Laboratory (HCIL). His goal is to lower human-centered barriers to data exploration and presentation. His research focuses on information visualization and interaction design, implementation, and evaluation. He is the developer of keshif, a web-based tool for rapid exploration of structured datasets. In his previous work, he developed computer graphics techniques and applications.

All the Data Fit to Print: Newsroom Tools for Generating Personalized, Contextually-Relevant Visualizations (Campus Visualizations Partnership lecture)
Host: Ben Shneiderman

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
'''Abstract''' Visualizations can enhance news article content by presenting complex facts clearly and providing contextually-relevant visualizations. By using novel natural language and text mining approaches, our systems define "queries" that encode the article's topic (e.g., "unemployment in CA in March," "global average temperatures in 2012") and the comparisons that are made in the article's text (e.g., differences between states or over time) to guide the visualization generation. Compelling visualizations are relevant and 'interesting'-concepts that are very hard measure, but we address these challenges in the Contextifier, NewsViews, and PersaLog systems, which are meant to help journalists tell their stories more effectively (joint work with Brent Hecht, Jessica Hullman, Tong Gao, Carolyn Gearig, Josh Ford, and Nick Diakopoulos).
<br><br>
'''Bio''': Eytan Adar is an Associate Professor in the School of Information & Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan. He works at the intersection of HCI and IR/Data Mining and ranges from empirical studies of large-scale online behaviors to building new systems, tools and methods. He has a Bachelors and Masters from MIT and a PHD in Computer Science at the University of Washington. He was a researcher at HP Labs and Xerox PARC, and spun out a company called Outride.

Printing

2015-03-26T18:55:17Z

Khara: /* Printing in Black and White */

=Printing=
Use Black and White printer whenever possible because its ink is cheaper (even than the black ink on the color printer).

== Tips and Tricks ==
* Use the COLOR PRINTER ONLY WHEN YOU NEED COLOR. (<span style="color:red">'''The black ink on the color printer is TWICE as expensive as the black ink on the b/w printer'''</span>.)
* Always print DOUBLE-SIDED to save paper
* Ask your adviser if you are not sure where the paper for your needs is supposed to come from

===Need to Print Something Really Big?===
* Consider printing/copying in your home department which will have better printing capability (e.g. CS or UMIACS)
* e.g. for CS students see: http://www.cs.umd.edu/faq/faq.html to print in AVW
* Someone can add info for the iSchool folks here >>> ??? <<<

== Printing in Black and White ==

The black and white printer is the small black one on the right.

Our black and white printer is a Brother HL-5470DW Laser Printer. It has automatic duplexing (just like the color printer). We prefer that you '''use the black and white printer for a majority of your printing''' and the color printer for your publication submissions (e.g., to investigate how a chart or figure looks printed in color).

===B/W Printer Setup: IP Address: 128.8.225.52===

If you need to install the black and white printer, specify the printer using its ip address: 128.8.225.52 and select the Brother HL-5470DW driver (or a generic postscript driver). If you have problems, see Anne Rose to get the installation CD or download it online.

== Printing in Color ==
[[File:CodyPrinter.png|thumb|Cody with the new printer.]]

The color printer is the tall white one on the left.

Our color printer is a Brother MFC-9970CDW Laser Printer. Here's a link to the manual (PDF). Please be aware that '''the color printer (even when using only black ink) is more than twice as expensive as the black and white printer''' so please use this printer conservatively.

This printer also scans documents, with both a flatbed and a duplex feeder option, so you can scan two sides at once. It scans up to 1200x2400 dpi. It can also email you the document, if you give it an @umd.edu address. (Nothing else, though, like @cs.umd.edu or @terpmail.edu...Those will break it.) And, of course, you can copy documents by printing from the flatbed.

It can print duplex, up to 2400x600 dpi, from the network or a USB flash drive at 30 pages/minute.

===Color Printer Setup===

==== Windows Printer Setup ====

* Go to "Start->Devices and Printers"
* Click "Add Printer"
* Select "Add a network, wireless, or Bluetooth printer"
* Click "The printer I want isn't listed"
* Click "Next"
* Enter 128.8.225.92 as the hostname or IP address (you don't have to fill in port name, it will fill automatically)
:: Wait...a long time...
* You will get a prompt saying "additional port information required". Click "Next"
:: Wait...a long time...
* Choose "Brother" in the "Manufacturer" column
* In the "Printers" column, select "Brother MFC-9970CDW" if it is listed. If it is not, click "Windows Update" and wait...a long time... Then select "Brother MFC-9970CDW".
* Click "Next"
* Enter a name for the printer then click "Next"
* Finally, click "Finish"

==== Mac Printer Setup ====

You can add printers in two ways:
# From the System Preferences -> Print and Scan -> '+' (Below list of prints on the left)
# From a print dialog box -> Printer Drop down -> Add Printer

Both options get you to the Add Printer dialog.

* Click on the IP icon
* Select Protocol: Internet Printing Protocol - IPP
* Enter in "128.8.225.92" for the address
* In the lower section, for 'Name' feel free to use whatever name you'd like but including something like "Brother MFC-9970CDW" might be a good choice.
* Select Print Using: "Select Print Software" -> "Brother MFC-9970CDW CUPS"
::''If this option isn't available, you may need to download it from the link provided below''
* Click Add

==== Downloading Drivers ====
* Download the CUPS printer driver (from [http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us_ot/en/dlf/dlf/000000/004500/dlf004512.html?reg=us&c=us_ot&lang=en&prod=mfc9970cdw_all&type2=1&os=115&flang=4&dlid=dlf004512 here])
* Double click and install the dmg (the BrotherCLDrivers.pkg)

= Toner Ordering =
(Please let Charley know when printer ink is running low, so ey can buy more.)
Amazon has a selection of high-yield replacement toner cartridges with yields of approximately 3,500 pages rather than 1,500 (it makes sense to purchase the high-yield cartridges because they offer better value):

* [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0043BCT9W/ref=nosim/6579419rg1105-20?s=merchant&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER $75.45 for Black Brother TN315BK Toner Cartridge]
* [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0043BB1JG/ref=nosim/6579419rg1105-20?s=merchant&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER $81.36 for Cyan Brother TN315C Toner Cartridge]
* [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0043B5X7W/ref=nosim/6579419rg1105-20?s=merchant&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER $78.47 for Magenta Brother TN315M Toner Cartridge]
* [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0043BCTFQ/ref=nosim/6579419rg1105-20?s=merchant&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER $79.05 for Yellow Brother TN315Y Toner Cartridge]

= Setting Up Printer =
Cody and Jon got the MFC-9970CDW Laser Printer on the network in a very hacky way. You don't need to know these details unless something went very wrong and the printer no longer has network access. Ask Jon for more details.

Printer ip: 128.8.225.92
Internal ip: 192.168.1.2

[[File:Brother9970Port.png]]

You must open port 9100 on the Hackerspace router to get network printing to work!

http://www.brother-usa.com/ModelDocuments/Consumer/Network%20Users%20Manual/NUM_MFC_9460CDN_9560CDW_9970CDW_EN_2870.PDF

If you are connected to the HAckerspace WiFi, you can connect to the printer directly in your browser by going to 192.168.1.2 and typing in:

login: user
password: access

login: admin
password: access

= Administration =

Thanks to Cody Dunne for helping Jon setup and configure the printer (it required some heavy lifting and some clever network hacking to get it to work). We locked down the touchscreen "Menu" icon so that you have to enter a password to change the configuration (we did so mainly because we had to setup a number of things and we didn't want them accidentally changed). However, if you need to update a configuration setting, use this password: 2117.

Brown Bag Lunch Schedule

2014-09-01T17:50:07Z

Khara:

The HCIL has an open semi-organized weekly "brown bag lunch (BBL)" on every <span style='color:red; font-weight:800'>Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing)</span>. The topics range from someone's work, current interest to the HCIL, a software demo/review, a study design, a proposed research topic, an introduction to a new person, etc. The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with <span style='color:red; font-weight:800'>free food every week</span>.

To sign up for a session, send an email to BBL student co-coordinator '''Arunesh Mathur (amathur@umd.edu)''' or '''Daniel Pauw (dpauw@umd.edu)'''. In the email, briefly describe the topic and preferred dates.

To get notified about upcoming events, please subscribe one of [[BBL mailing lists|these mailing lists]].

Computational Journalism: From Tools to Algorithmic Accountability
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<br> Abstract: Computational Journalism was initially conceived of as an application of computing technologies to enable journalism across information tasks such as information gathering, organization and sensemaking, storytelling, and dissemination. But computing and algorithms can also become the object of journalism. Algorithms adjudicate a large array of decisions in our lives: not just search engines and personalized online news systems, but educational evaluations, markets and political campaigns, and the management of social services like welfare and public safety. A new form of computational journalism that I call “Algorithmic Accountability Reporting” is emerging to apply the core journalistic functions of watchdogging and accountability reporting to algorithms. In this talk I will provide some perspective on the tool-oriented roots of computational journalism, and then discuss how algorithmic accountability reporting is emerging as a mechanism for elucidating and articulating the power structures, biases, and influences that computational artifacts play in society.

UIST2014 Practice Talk: Tohme: Detecting Curb Ramps in Google Street View Using Crowdsourcing, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<br> Building on recent prior work that combines Google Street View (GSV) and crowdsourcing to remotely collect information on physical world accessibility, we present the first “smart” system, Tohme, that combines machine learning, computer vision (CV), and custom crowd interfaces to find curb ramps remotely in GSV scenes. Tohme consists of two workflows, a human labeling pipeline and a CV pipeline with human verification, which are scheduled dynamically based on predicted performance. Using 1,086 GSV scenes (street intersections) from four North American cities and data from 403 crowd workers, we show that Tohme performs similarly in detecting curb ramps compared to a manual labeling approach alone (F-measure: 84% vs. 86% baseline) but at a 13% reduction in time cost. Our work contributes the first CV-based curb ramp detection system, a custom machine-learning based workflow controller, a validation of GSV as a viable curb ramp data source, and a detailed examination of why curb ramp detection is a hard problem along with steps forward.

Tracking the Body in Healthcare
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<br> New gesture and movement tracking technologies are offering rich possibilities for our everyday computing experiences. More than simply intuitive and non-intrusive forms of interaction these technologies can provide ways to transform behavioral practices in particular contexts. Within these contexts, there are important challenges in how we take the opportunities provided by body/movement sensing systems and design them in ways that are attuned to the demands and circumstances of a particular setting. In this talk I will explore these issues in the context of the particular setting of healthcare. I will present prior work on a Kinect-based system that uses gesture and voice recognition capabilities to enable clinicians to interact with images during surgery without compromising sterility as well as new work on sensing a Parkinson's patient's movement ability for clinical decision-making and patient empowerment.

The Talk Talk
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<br>So you have to give a talk, now what? Well, it's probably too late to run, and nobody likes a hider, so your best bet is to just suck it up, and start prepping your talk. But how? What should you do first? What are you even trying to accomplish here? Prepping a talk is not only a daunting prospect, but it's really easy to get lost in the details and lose sight of the big picture. In this brown bag, I'll be laying out that big picture, and providing a step-by-step roadmap of how to get there. The goal is to give rookie talk-givers a better sense of direction as they navigate the shadowy abyss of prepping a talk. I'm also hoping that some of the more experienced talk-givers can chime in with some of their best tips and tricks for building a slammin' talk.<br><br>Megan Monroe is a fifth year PhD student in the Computer Science Department who feels super awkward writing about herself in the third person. That being said, she has given a lot of talks, and is loosely presumed to proficient in this area.

Privacy Management in the Digital Age
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
While regularly used for interpersonal communication, relationship maintenance, and information sharing, newer communication technologies such as Facebook and Twitter have also created significant tension between individuals’ desire to maintain privacy and to be engaged participants in online communities. Problems arise due to the increasing diversity of users on these sites, a lack of privacy management knowledge and/or skills, and the often-changing privacy standards of the sites themselves. Rather than proactively engaging this complexity, many users employ reactive privacy management strategies—until something bad happens to me, I won’t worry about the information I’m sharing.
Understanding how people conceptualize privacy and how that conceptualization influences behavior is increasingly important in today’s networked world, as individuals—and information—are now connected in more ways than ever before. The affordances of social media distinguish them from other communication channels, both on- and offline, with content being easier to search and archive, while people and content are more highly linked within systems. Thus, the consequences of employing more reactive strategies are far-reaching, with potential impacts on personal relationships, financials, work, and beyond. In this talk, I’ll highlight some of my recent findings on this topic as well as overview my expected research trajectory for the next few years in this very active space.

From Digital Footprints to Social Insights
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The pervasiveness of cell phones, mobile applications and social media is generating vast amounts of information that can reveal a wide range of human behavior. From mobility patterns to social connections, these signals expose insights about how humans behave and interact with their environment. While a lot of work has focused on analyzing behaviors, relatively little effort has been dedicated to understanding ways in which such findings could be useful to decision makers in areas like smart cities or public health. In this talk I will discuss two projects: (1) AlertImpact, an agent-based framework that uses geo-referenced cell phone data to model the impact of the preventive actions implemented by the Mexican government during the H1N1 flu outbreak and (2) TweetLand, a method to automatically identify urban land uses and landmarks (point of interest) using tweeting patterns.

Bridging ICT4D lessons from the NGO sector towards academia ([https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2618031/Alex%20Pompe%20UMD%20Presentation.pptx Slides])
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Abstract: ICT4D professionals in both the academic and NGO areas stand to benefit from greater collaboration, awareness, and transparency of experiences. However, often at conferences both groups are frustrated due to a lack of common understanding and misconceptions. This talk will present a number of case studies from IREX's ICT work in a variety of regions focused on providing open discussion and discourse so that lessons from all development practitioners can be lent towards improving processes on both sides of the table. The talk will also include discussion of internships and job skills in the ICT4D sector from an NGO employer's perspective.
<br> As a Senior Technical Advisor at IREX, Alex Pompe is a lead member of the Center for Collaborative Technology managing the NGO's ICT4D consulting portfolio. Clients come for a range of countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Bhutan. This work focuses on public access to information barriers and community assessment methodologies. He oversees the Libraries for Development program in Namibia, the Tech Age Teachers program in Tunisia, and the New Education Technology program in Kazakhstan. He splits time between the IREX DC and Namibia offices.
Alex holds a BS in physics from the University of Illinois, and an MSI from the University of Michigan School of Information. He focused on information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D).

The goal of this session is to provide several students at various points in their academic programs
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
, but especially new students, with a chance to talk about (1) their interests, (2) the projects to which they've contributed, and (3) those they'd like to do. Our hope is that this will allow new students to introduce themselves and convey their interests in a way that helps them find others with shared interests and form working relationships on projects with professors and other students. Students will have 5–8 minutes to introduce themselves and their interests, their previous and current projects, skills and expertise, and their future interests in HCI and the HCIL. Hopefully, this will help new students connect with professors and other students with whom they share interests and can work together on research projects. Following talks will be about 10 minutes for discussion with the presenting students (perhaps for asking them to join a project team).

Everybody’s internet? :Designing for mobile-centric internet users in the developing world
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Within 5 years, wireless broadband services will cover 85% of the world’s population,
and data-enabled mobile (cellular) devices will outnumber personal computers and
tablets. This talk, taken from a book in preparation, details the growing importance
of ‘mobile-centric internet use’ in the developing world, raising questions and
challenges for design.
A breathlessly optimistic narrative has proclaimed the mobile phone the device
which will finally close the ‘digital divide’, but the digital world does not run
exclusively on mobile handsets. To guide policy and technical investments in
socioeconomic development— I argue that it is better to reframe and view the
mobile handset as one piece of a person’s digital repertoire, which also might include
PCs, telecentres, TVs, tablets, and other devices.
In the talk and in the book I revisit some of my previous studies in three domains of
socioeconomic development: microenterprises and livelihoods, citizen journalism,
and secondary education. Across each, I celebrate the transformational potential of
the mobile phone. Yet, in each case, I use the “digital repertoires” lens to raise
concerns, identifying how the capacity to generate, produce, and curate information
may remain concentrated among those with better resources to secure digital tools,
and the skills and incentives to use them. The person with $30 basic data-enabled
phone and the person with a smartphone and a state-of-the-art $1000 desktop
computer both can connect to the internet; however, it is not the same internet.
Yet these persistent digital stratifications can be reduced if technologists,
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers work to ensure that constrained digital
repertoires enable not only coordination and consumption (which phones already do
well), but also contribution (which they do less well). From natural user interfaces to
language support to bandwidth pricing, there are concrete ways in which more
empathetic design and policy can help a greater proportion of the world’s
inhabitants be more productive with their ICTs.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"> Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India seeks to address the needs and aspirations of people in the world's developing communities. Our research targets people who are just beginning to use computing technologies and services as well as those for whom access to computing still remains largely out of reach. Most of our work falls under the rubric of the relatively young field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD or ICT4D). By combining a variety of backgrounds and training, we are able to engage deeply with some of the complex problems associated with poverty and scarce resources. Our goal is to study, design, build, and evaluate technologies and systems that are useful for people living in underserved rural and urban communities around the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the recent work in the group, focusing on projects that explore modalities and interactions specifically designed for the unique contexts and users we’re working with:<br>
1) VideoKheti: A prototype multimodal system to help low-literate farmers search for agricultural extension videos on smart phones.<br>
2) IVR Junction: A platform for building scalable and distributed voice forums for users with low-end phones.<br>
3) Massively Empowered Classrooms (MEC): A project to explore how innovations in MOOCs and blended learning can be applied to second-tier, large-scale engineering education in India.<br>
4) Maybe something else, depending on the interests of the audience<br><br>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"> HCI and Networking - Taming the Internet One Bit at a Time
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Abstract:<br>
As we become more dependent on high speed Internet, we increasingly have to deal with making sure our devices are connected properly, that we're getting the speeds we need, and that we're making efficient use of our data. Yet often, Internet connections break or do not work as planned, causing us endless headaches. We also have to juggle constraints such as slow speeds, limited bandwidth, and high data costs depending on our location and use. My research focuses on helping users manage Internet connectivity in their homes, the workplace, and on the go, particularly under constraints of low resources and high costs. In this talk, I'll go over how I use HCI and networking to reach the goal of taming the Internet for everyday users and talk about future directions.
