Computing Science Seminar. Moncur on"The role of digital technologies in transitional life events"
-Abstract: Digital technologies are now used across the human lifespan. In this seminar, I'll discuss my HCI research that explores the current roles of digital technologies across transitional human life events (becoming an adult, becoming a parent, breaking up, retiring, end of life ), and the ways in which digital technologies could be designed...

Computing Science Seminar. de Ruiter on "How Not to Study Interaction"
-Abstract: In this talk I will argue that human interaction cannot be studied properly using the standard experimental methods that have been successful in other areas of the cognitive sciences. Of the many problems with these methods, I will focus on two important ones: (a) the trade-off between experimental control and ecological validity, and (b) profound...

Computing Science Seminar. Rovatsos on "Diversity-Aware AI - the next frontier?"
-Abstract: Recently, AI has produced impressive advances mostly by following a "standard model" based on data-driven exploration of large solution spaces and optimisation toward a well-defined objective function. Arguably, this process model has little in common with human intelligence, where objectives are often vaguely defined and conflicting, satisficing behaviour is often...
