Title

AI-Driven Personalization to Support Human-AI Collaboration

Abstract

At the Human-AI Interaction group at the University of British Columbia, we investigate how to support Human-AI collaboration via AI artifacts that can understand relevant properties of their users (e.g., states, skills, needs) and personalize the interaction accordingly in a manner that preserves transparency, user control and suitable reliance. This talk illustrates examples of AI-driven personalization spanning Intelligent Tutoring Systems, personalized Healthcare, User Adaptive Visualizations and Explainable AI.
