Designing Meaningful Algorithmic System Transparency for Non-Expert Users
… that might impact them. Among others, non-expert users represent key stakeholders that can benefit from but also be impacted by algorithmic systems. Their transparency needs deserve urgent attention as daily lives increasingly rely on such systems. In this thesis, I explore how to …

Analyzing and Manipulating Numeric Business Data: An Aid to Non-Expert Users (Spreadsheet Programs)
… row or a column. To provide the casual business users with the operational power for data manipulation which is clearly lacking in current spreadsheet programs, we developed the Higher-level Tabular Data Operators (HTDOs). HTDOs are intended to be an enhancement to the existing spreadsheet …

Multimodal Representation Learning for Textual Reasoning over Knowledge Graphs
… KGs. Furthermore, to extend the usage of KGs to non-expert users, retrieval over them cannot solely rely on logical reasoning but also needs to consider text-based search. This creates a need for multi-modal representations that capture both the semantic and structural features from the KGs. The …

Making navigation easier in object-oriented programming systems
It has been reported that non-expert users have difficulties in finding reusable software components in large object-oriented programming systems and there is a need for help tools. The research reported in this thesis addresses this issue. Described in this thesis is the design of a tool called …

I want my IoT – end-user developers and the Internet of Things
… its potential remains largely untapped by non-expert users. This thesis investigates technical, conceptual, and practical barriers that limit non-expert end-user developers from creating bespoke IoT projects. Based on the premise that simplifying IoT development and providing targeted …

An Interactive Visual Paradigm for Knowledge Graph Question-Answering
… knowledge graphs (KGs) often remain complex for non-expert users. This thesis introduces TRACE, a Reasoning and Answer-path Comprehension Engine, a visualization tool enhancing transparency in KG question answering (KGQA). By abstracting intricate KGs into intuitive meta-nodes, TRACE simplifies …

Organic indoor location : infrastructure and applications
… One of the main goals behind OIL is to enable non-expert users to contribute the data that is required for localization. Toward this we have developed (1) a server-client architecture for aggregating and distributing data; (2) a caching scheme that enables client devices to estimate indoor …

Design-for-empowerment-for-design : computational structures for design democratization
The vision to engage non-architects in the design of their habitat through the mediation of computer aids, dates back to the early computational era (1960s-1970s) and is currently being recast under cyber-cultural and technological influences. The computational tools enabling this architectural …

Semantics-enriched workflow creation and management system with an application to document image analysis and recognition
… designing workflows can be a daunting task for users due to the complexities of the systems and the sheer number of available processing nodes, each having different compatibility/applicability characteristics. This Thesis explores how concepts of the Semantic Web can be used to augment workflow …

Predictive Simulation of Musculoskeletal Models Using Direct Collocation
… current software provision has limitations. Users are restricted from leveraging state-of-the-art methods and algorithms. Alternatively, they are required to develop bespoke implementations of direct collocation, or laboriously manually link multiple software packages. In order to address …

Sketching as a support mechanism for the design and development of shape-changing interfaces
… this usually occurs without consultation of end-users. Due to the prototypical nature of shape-change, there is no specific current practice of User-Centred Design (UCD). If this is not addressed, the resulting field may consist of undirected, research-focused hardware with little real world …

Crowd-supervised training of spoken language systems
… the collective intelligence of crowds of non-expert individuals to provide valuable training data at a very low cost for actively deployed spoken language systems. We also show that in some domains the crowd can be incentivized to provide training data for free, as a byproduct of …
