There are many populations who need assistive technologies while driving such as the millions of Americans suffer traumatic brain injuries each year, and the majority of them return to driving at some point following their recovery. However, the residual effects of TBIs can affect perception, cognition, emotion, and motor abilities. In collaboration with the Shepherd Center we are developing software that can help improve the attention and abilities of drivers post-TBI. |
The purpose of this project is to validate the following research question – “Would testing UI prototypes in a simulated virtual reality environment provide a better experience to testing in a usability lab setting? ‘Better experience’ is defined as the system having better usability, lower cognitive workload and higher user satisfaction.”. I want to explore how VR could be used as a platform to test mobile and desktop UI prototypes in a way that adds virtual environments during usability testing, and to see if users respond better than not having any environmental cues. |
Since its earliest days, harassment and abuse have plagued the Internet. Recent research has focused on in-domain methods to detect abusive content and faces several challenges, most notably the need to obtain large training corpora. In this paper, we introduce a novel computational approach to address this problem called Bag of Communities (BoC)‚ technique that leverages large-scale, preexisting data from other Internet communities. We then apply BoC toward identifying abusive behavior within a major Internet community. |
