To support human decision making with machine learning models, we often need to elucidate patterns embedded in the models that are unsalient, unknown, or counterintuitive to humans. While existing approaches focus on explaining machine predictions with real-time assistance, we explore model-driven tutorials to help humans understand these patterns in a training phase. We consider both tutorials with guidelines from scientific papers, analogous to current practices of science communication, and automatically selected examples from training data with explanations. We use deceptive review detection as a testbed and conduct large-scale, randomized human-subject experiments to examine the effectiveness of such tutorials. We find that tutorials indeed improve human performance, with and without real-time assistance. In particular, although deep learning provides superior predictive performance than simple models, tutorials and explanations from simple models are more useful to humans. Our work suggests future directions for human-centered tutorials and explanations towards a synergy between humans and AI.

Machine learning models are increasingly integrated into societally critical applications such as recidivism prediction and medical diagnosis, thanks to their superior predictive power. In these applications, however, full automation is often not desired due to ethical and legal concerns. The research community has thus ventured into developing interpretable methods that explain machine predictions. While these explanations are meant to assist humans in understanding machine predictions and thereby allowing humans to make better decisions, this hypothesis is not supported in many recent studies. To improve human decision-making with AI assistance, we propose future directions for closing the gap between the efficacy of explanations and improvement in human performance.
Negotiation is a complex social interaction that encapsulates emotional encounters in human decision-making. Virtual agents that can negotiate with humans are useful in pedagogy and conversational AI. To advance the development of such agents, we explore the prediction of two important subjective goals in a negotiation - outcome satisfaction and partner perception. Specifically, we analyze the extent to which emotion attributes extracted from the negotiation help in the prediction, above and beyond the individual difference variables. We focus on a recent dataset in chat-based negotiations, grounded in a realistic camping scenario. We study three degrees of emotion dimensions - emoticons, lexical, and contextual by leveraging affective lexicons and a state-of-the-art deep learning architecture. Our insights will be helpful in designing adaptive negotiation agents that interact through realistic communication interfaces.
The use of Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) systems are highly open-ended and exploratory. While rigorously evaluating how end-users interact with AutoML is crucial, establishing a robust evaluation methodology for such exploratory systems is challenging. First, AutoML is complex, including multiple sub-components that support a variety of sub-tasks for synthesizing ML pipelines, such as data preparation, problem specification, and model generation, making it difficult to yield insights that tell us which components were successful or not. Second, because the usage pattern of AutoML is highly exploratory, it is not possible to rely solely on widely used task efficiency and effectiveness metrics as success metrics. To tackle the challenges in evaluation, we propose an evaluation methodology that (1) guides AutoML builders to divide their AutoML system into multiple sub-system components, and (2) helps them reason about each component through visualization of end-users behavioral patterns and attitudinal data. We conducted a study to understand when, how, why, and applying our methodology can help builders to better understand their systems and end-users. We recruited 3 teams of professional AutoML builders. The teams prepared their own systems and let 41 end-users use the systems. Using our methodology, we visualized end-users behavioral and attitudinal data and distributed the results to the teams. We analyzed the results in two directions: what types of novel insights the AutoML builders learned from end-users, and (2) how the evaluation methodology helped the builders to understand workflows and the effectiveness of their systems. Our findings suggest new insights explaining future design opportunities in the AutoML domain as well as how using our methodology helped the builders to determine insights and let them draw concrete directions for improving their systems.
Thinking of technology as a design material is appealing. It encourages designers to explore the materials properties to understand its capabilities and limitations, a prerequisite to generative design thinking. However, as a material, AI resists this approach because its properties emerge as part of the design process itself. Therefore, designers and AI engineers must collaborate in new ways to create both the material and its application experience. We investigate the co-creation process through a design study with 10 pairs of designers and engineers. We find that design probes with user data are a useful tool in defining AI materials. Through data probes, designers construct designerly representations of the envisioned AI experience (AIX) to identify desirable AI characteristics. Data probes facilitate divergent thinking, material testing, and design validation. Based on our findings, we propose a process model for co-creating AIX and offer design considerations for incorporating data probes in design tools.
Chatbots systems, despite their popularity in todays HCI and CSCW research, fall short for one of the two reasons: 1) many of the systems use a rule-based dialog flow, thus they can only respond to a limited number of pre-defined inputs with pre-scripted responses; or 2) they are designed with a focus on single-user scenarios, thus it is unclear how these systems may affect other users or the community. In this paper, we develop a generalizable chatbot architecture (CASS) to provide social support for community members in an online health community. The CASS architecture is based on advanced neural network algorithms, thus it can handle new inputs from users and generate a variety of responses to them. CASS is also generalizable as it can be easily migrate to other online communities. With a follow-up field experiment, CASS is proven useful in supporting individual members who seek emotional support. Our work also contributes to fill the research gap on how a chatbot may influence the whole communitys engagement.
