[Announcements] Call for participation: CHI 2018 course on Computational Interaction

[Oulasvirta Antti]

CHI 2018 course on “Computational Interaction: Theory and Practice”

https://chi2018.acm.org/accepted-courses/#c10

3 Units | Thursday 9:00

This course introduces computational methods in HCI. Computational interaction methods use computational thinking – abstraction, automation, and analysis – to explain and enhance interaction. They can not only automate tasks, but allow deeper understanding of the phenomena and tradeoffs involved. Optimization and probabilistic inference are introduced as principled methods. Lectures center on hands-on Python programming, interleaving theory and practical examples. The participant will learn how to define problems and solve them efficiently and in a principled manner. The course offers an introduction to applications of computational methods for researchers and practitioners. Some background in computer science is assumed.

About Instructors

John Williamson, Antti Oulasvirta, Otmar Hilliges, Per Ola Kristensson

We have jointly organized a CHI course in 2017, a CHI workshop in 2015, and three times a SIGCHI-sponsored summer school on this topic.

A joint book with the same title (Computational Interaction), published by Oxford University Press, comes out in January.
