4/23&4/25 Human-computer interaction

We used all about machine that usually has A.I?

what a wonderful world!

and what's that means "HCI?"

where does "HCI" meet "A.I"?

key point

People often interact with media technologies as though the technologies were people.
–related ideas
Clifford and Nash, “the media equation”
Freud, transference
–see also Sherry Turkle on computers as “second selves” and as “evocative objects”
surrealists, “automatic writing” (recall Tristan Tzara’s “recipe”)
Mannheim/Schutz/Garfinkel, the “documentary method”

related points: ethics

questions of ethics and “others”
–should we treat technologies as people or people as technologies?
–should we only treat others who are like us with care and respect? or, should we also extend our care and respect to others who are radically different?
–what makes believe someone or something is alive, thinking, or simply the same as us?

history of HCI as tools: people

people:
–Vannevar Bush: memex
–J.C.R. Licklider: computer networking, agents
–Ivan Sutherland: sketchpad
–Doug Engelbart: mouse, GUI, word processing, etc.
–Ted Nelson: hypertext
–Alan Kay: object-oriented programming, laptops, ...

basic design question: should the computer act like a person?
–agents versus “direct manipulation”
e.g., Ben Schneiderman versus Pattie Maes (sigchi, 1997)
even “direct-manipulation” interfaces are based on a “conversation” metaphor: the computer responds immediately to each action or command from the “user”
but, there are (at least) two models of conversation
–information/intention transmission
inspirations for ai: e.g., Paul Grice, pragmatics
–co-construction of meaning
ethnomethodology: e.g., Harvey Sacks, conversation analysis
Boring? ok.. let’s watch some movie related to HCI generally.
–hci lesson from “Sleeper”
»1) Reliability
»2) Personalization
»3) if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it
»4) intuitive UI design

4/11 artificial intelligence

artificial intelligence is what's that means?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is both the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science which aims to create it.
Major AI textbooks define artificial intelligence as "the study and design of intelligenagents,"where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions which maximize its chances of success.AI can be seen as a realization of an abstract intelligent agent (AIA) which exhibits the functional essence of intelligence.John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1956, defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines."
Among the traits that researchers hope machines will exhibit are reasoning, knowledge, planning, learning, communication, perception and the ability to move and manipulate objects.General intelligence(or "strong AI") has not yet been achieved and is a long-term goal of AI research.
AI research uses tools and insights from many fields, including computer science, psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, cognitive science, linguistics, ontology, operations research, economis, control theory, probabilit, optimization and logic. AI research also overlaps with tasks such as robotics, control systems, scheduling, data mining, logistics, speech recognition, facial recognition and many others. Other names for the field have been proposed, such as computational intelligence,synthetic intelligence,intelligent systems,or computational rationality(wikipedia.org)

“imitation game”

The new form of the problem can be described in terms of a game which we call the ‘imitation game.’ It is played with three people, a man, a woman, and an interrogator who may be of either sex. The interrogator stays in a room apart from the other two. The object of the game for the interrogator is to determine which of the other two is the man and which is the woman.”

when i saw this movie that A.I, i'm was really feld interesting

& Now,l'm introducing this movie-(source by wikipedia.org)

A.I. was initially inspired by "Super-Toys Last All Summer Long", a short story published in 1969 by UK science fiction writer Brian Aldiss.
During the 1980s, Kubrick and Aldiss began to develop the story into a script for a feature film. Aldiss said later that Kubrick's theory of writing features revolved around six to eight "non-submersible units" — his name for interesting sequences. They came up with three or four of these, by taking ideas from other Aldiss stories.
Aldiss claims he never felt the story could be successfully expanded into something bigger, as its original focus was intimate, and this seems to have been the origin of his problems with Kubrick, who was equally certain it could be fully fleshed out. There was also a dispute over money.[citation needed] These factors, along with Kubrick's desire to use elements from Pinocchio,[citation needed] caused their relationship to deteriorate. Kubrick fired Aldiss in 1990.Irish science fiction novelist Bob Shaw was brought on board for a few months, but he found Kubrick too demanding.Kubrick turned to UK science fiction notable Ian Watson, and the two produced the long treatment (credited to Watson). Both British feminist writer, Sara Maitlandand Arthu C. Clarke added ideas to the story.[citation needed] A science fiction painter, Chris Baker, also known as "Fangorn", was commissioned to produce hundreds of pieces of concept art from ideas and descriptions given to him by Kubrick. Chris Cunningham, a British music video film director (famous for the video "Come to Daddy" by Aphex Twin), worked for over a year on the film.[After Kubrick died in 1999, his widow contacted Spielberg, whom Kubrick had previously asked to direct the film and with whom he had discussed the project at length, and she asked him to finish producing the movie. Spielberg used the Kubrick-Watson treatment as the basis for the screenplay, which he wrote himself.He bought the rights to Aldiss' two brief sequels to "Supertoys" and ideas from them appear in the movie.
The movie had an unusual publicity campaign consisting of a new type of "game" involving approximately 30 interlinked websites. This type of game has since become known as an alternate reality game (ARG). The A.I. game did not have an official name, but became known as The Beast by its most ardent fans.

4/2&4/4 "Social network"

social nerwork is explaning to media people.

-New media technologies usually reinforce existing social networks or even work to isolate people.

isolate people is common happening to media peaple.
"hikihomori"is very famous disease in japan

-When new media technologies facilitate new social networks, they simultaneously challenge existing social, political and economic relationships.

social network analysis is an interdisciplinary social science, but has been of especial concern to sociologists
recently, physicists and mathematicians have made large contributions to understanding networks in general (as graphs) and thus contributed to an understanding of social networks too.

centrality bridge is very imfortant to social network!
and dr.yoon was showing us that really interested infomations
i'm use to kind of many webpage that it was so great

amazon network is so many works do that anounced inform user's to another user.
from 'each national speaker!!!!!'
"People who bought this book also bought."

social networks as popular culture-kecin vacon
he is central bridge in movie network
-kevin bacon has a bacon number of 0
an actor, A, has a bacon number of 1 if s/he appeared in a movie with kevin bacon
an actor, B, has a bacon number of 2 if s/he appear in a movie with A
etc.

and then, dr.yoon was very intersted say that "oracle of bacon"
Deph story & oracle who appearing to movie"metrix"


Vizster is an interactive visualization tool for online social networks, allowing exploration of the community structure of social networking services such as friendster.com, tribe.net, and orkut. Such services provide means by which users can publicly articulate their mutual "friendship" in the form of friendship links, forming an undirected graph in which users are the nodes and friendship links are the edges. These services also allow users to describe themselves in a profile, including attributes such as age, marital status, sexual orientation, and various interests. These services profess any number of goals, ranging from supporting dating and creating communities of shared interest to facilitating new business connections. Newman provides a wonderful overview of the statistical properties of such networks and boyd describes emergent social phenomena surrounding social networking service.
