Christiane Wiebel, "Investigating Human-Machine Cooperation", Colloquium at the Center for Cognitive Science (TU Darmstadt), 2023.

Intelligent systems have become prevalent in everyday life and keep developing at a high pace. Many of these systems do not act autonomously but operate in interaction with human users. Recent HMI research has hypothesized that such an interaction between human and machine is best reached by designing the system to behave cooperatively towards the human user (Bengler, 2012, Bütepage, 2017, Krüger, 2018, Sendhoff, 2020). In this talk, I will introduce a theoretical framework for designing human-machine cooperation and link it to some recent empirical work on gaze-based user modelling and interaction design. In particular, to assess different user states and task demands, we explored the potential of a novel information-theoretic approach for scan path analysis.
