Relational AI : creating long-term interpersonal interaction, rapport, and relationships with social robots
… ethical concerns that arise in the context of human-machine interactions, most of which are most contentious with children. To this end, I explore questions about young children's interactions and relationships with one such technology--social robots-during language learning activities. …

A micro- and macro- analysis of human-machine interfaces and systems in space
Humans and machines interact with each other on a variety of scales. Interactions can involve tightly coupled interfaces or even be socio-technical in nature. In terms of large complex systems, humans learn to interact and access these systems in the context of dierent social, political, technical, …

Model-based user interaction for accessing electronic news
Natural language interfaces support human-machine interactions in a way that is natural and that does not require elaborate user training. The two main problems in human-computer dialog are resolution of ambiguity and incompleteness. A model-based architecture is introduced in this thesis that …

Understanding Social Media: Misinformation, Attention, and Digital Advertising
… fundamentally changed the dynamics of social interactions and information transmission. In this thesis, I explore recent trends in social media through models and experiments of user behavior, platform algorithms and incentives, and policy initiatives. I focus on the social consequences of new …

Modeling phones, keywords, topics and intents in spoken languages
… meet in their daily lives. On the other hand, machines can also be trained to learn the process of modeling the basic language components such as phones, keywords, topics and intents during both human/machine interactions and human/human communications. Eventually, if we can develop a machine …

COGNITIVE MODELING FOR HUMAN FACTORS TESTING: DEVELOPING A STRUCTURED TASK ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK FOR DESIGNERS
… agencies such as the FDA require evaluation of human performance, both psychomotor and cognitive activities in the use of medical devices. Traditional human factors evaluations emphasize psychomotor activities, limiting the ability to identify cognitive root causes of use error. Existing …

Flying knights or Flying scientists? a cognitive history of the US Air Force Fighter Pilot in air-to-air combat, 1950-1980
… this period in fighter aviation: one of "great machines," which focuses on the technologies; the other of "great pilots," which focuses on the oft-heroic aviators. The former conjures notions of technological determinism; the latter, a timeless "myth of the fighter pilot." Regrettably, the two …

BIG-THICK DATA GENERATION VIA LIFE SEQUENCES
… (e.g., locations) and certain aspects of human behavior (e.g., physical activities and transportation modes), a major limitation of this type of data is that it is not thick, that is it does not carry the information about the context within which it was generated. However, contextual …

Models for Satisficing Mentalizing
… such mental states is very important for social interactions, both in collaborative and competitive settings as it allows one to better adapt to other agents even without explicit communication. However, the act of inferring these mental states, also called mentalizing, is highly complex since …
