Title: Towards Human-Centered AI through Unstructured Data Text Representation
Date: 13 Sept 2021.
Time: 9.00am to 10.30am (MYT GMT +8)

Descriptions: Humans when interacting with computers will use the User Interface (UI) as a communication medium. At the end of the day, this communication will use data in the form of structured and unstructured data, both as input and output. The use of unstructured data text in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) can be divided into two, namely the interaction between humans and computers, and interactions between humans when using computers or applications. Interactions between humans and computers that produce unstructured data text are carried out using feedback or reviews where humans can provide feedback or review on a product or service. Meanwhile, interactions between humans while using computers or applications produce unstructured data text which is carried out using forums or discussion.

To enhance the element of HCI the unstructured data text is processed using Artificial Intelligence (AI). For example, the use of other unstructured data types such as voice will further enhance human-centered AI where voice to text and/or text to voice Application Programming Interface (API) can easily be implemented to transfer unstructured data voice to unstructured data text. Another example, the AI technology will be applied with certain algorithms either using datasets from forum/discussion or feedback/review. Through human-centered AI, the systems with unstructured data text can understand human language, emotion, and behavior using AI technology such as recommender system, sentiment analysis, topic classification/analysis, and dialogue system/conversational agent/chatbot.

This workshop is expected to provide a broad and in-depth understanding of the implementation of AI technology using unstructured text data. It is hoped that the application of AI technology that uses unstructured text data is expected to increase the benefits of human-centered AI. This workshop is perfect for academics, industry practitioners, and students who are interested in understanding human-centered AI implementation using unstructured text data. In addition, this workshop will be of benefit to masters or Ph.D. students who are looking for a research topic and interested in the topic of human-centered AI where AI is applied to improve interactions between humans and computers.
