For the 8th Summer School on Computational Interaction held at the University of Luxembourg in June 2024, doctoral students, researchers and professionals from 14 countries discussed computational methods and their applications in user interface design, interactive systems, user modeling, and more.
During the week, keynote speakers shared their expertise on a technical topic such as “Optimization methods for interface design and adaptation” by Anna Maria Feit and João Belo from Saarland University, Germany; “Modeling and understanding user interfaces from pixels” by Amanda Swearngin, Apple Inc., Seattle, WA, USA; “Parameterization and selection of behavioural models” by Gilles Bailly, ISIR Lab, Sorbonne Université, France; “Forward and inverse modelling in input” by John H. Williamson, University of Glasgow, Scotland; “Charting the routes of thoughts in LLM-empowered conversational interactions” by Xiaojuan Ma, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST); “Augmenting Ideation and Sensemaking in the age of LLMs: Concepts, Examples, and Opportunities from an HCI Perspective” by Gonzalo Ramos, Microsoft Research Redmond, Washington, USA and ” Supporting rich interactions in mixed reality” by John Dudley, University of Cambridge, UK.
In addition, students had the opportunity to present their current work via poster sessions and also participated in a guided tour through some laboratories of the FSTM (VR/AR, SwarmLab, COIN) and FSHE (HCI) faculties.
