Human-Centred Computing
Our human centred computing academics study aspects of relationships between people, society and computing. We investigate various aspects of intelligent interaction between people and machines: including human-in-the-loop decision making, habit formation, intelligent notification, multitasking and natural-language processing and dialogue. We examine the developing regulatory framework for software, with a particular focus on the lawful exploitation of emerging artificial intelligence and algorithmic decision making systems and we investigate the economics of software development which answer questions including how to automate software cost estimation.
