Bayesian Methods in Interaction Design (Tutorial)

Abstract

This tutorial introduces Bayesian computational approaches to interaction and design. Bayesian methods offer a powerful approach for interactive settings with uncertainty and noise. This course introduces the theory and practice of computational Bayesian interaction, covering inference of user data and design/adaptation of interface features based around probabilistic inference. The tutorial is built around hands-on Python programming with modern computational tools, interleaved with theory and practical examples grounded in problems of wide interest in human-computer interaction.
