Demo Information:
One of our demos has some information to share with you!
One of our demos has some information to share with you!
Joel Chan and the Open and Sustainable Innovation Systems (OASIS) Lab are experimenting with an AI-assisted system that helps researchers creatively explore perspectives from outside of their fields/domains for their research problems.
We are sharing this system as an integrated demo (+ user study) at the symposium!
As an HCIL Symposium attendee, we invite you to give our system a test run and let us know how it went! You tell us a research problem you’re working on (where you think you might want some fresh perspectives outside your domain/specialty), and we’ll supply you with an exploration “itinerary”, consisting of 1) a set of “destination” domains to explore perspectives on your problem, 2) “guides” to explore those domains with (HCIL researchers who know something about that domain), and 3) a set of tailored conversation prompts to kickstart the exploration at each destination.
If this sounds interesting to you, let us know here: https://forms.gle/HoM7Tq2unpvgBLwo7 (you will have the option later of consenting to a user study, which will include a $25 gift card as compensation)
Visit Campus and Parking Information
Visiting: To get to the University of Maryland, see Campus and Visitor Services.
Parking: The symposium is held during the week between spring and summer semesters on campus. During this week, any vehicle (with or without a current DOTS permit) may park in Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 15, 16, 17 and 19. Faculty/staff lot, pay station areas, and meters are still enforced. UMD has a useful interactive campus map to help you get around campus. Lot 11b (top right on image) is the closest lot to Iribe; if you park there, you have a 6-8 minute walk down Paint Branch Drive (dotted line running from left side of 11b down to Iribe Center) or along the bike path that runs along the Paint Branch stream (dotted line running from right side of 11b down to Iribe Center).
