Researchers investigate how AI could better understand humans
Antti Oulasvirta has received a EUR 2.5 million Advanced Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) for the study of user models.
Antti Oulasvirta as a member of the CHI Academy
Professor Antti Oulasvirta is the first Finnish to be elected to the International Academy of Human-Computer Interaction.
Professor Antti Oulasvirta studies human-computer interaction and develops computational models of human behavior. He is the first Finnish to be elected a member of the CHI Academy. The CHI (Computer-Human Interaction) Academy is an honorary group of individuals who have made substantial contributions to the field of science during their careers. Selected annually, these are the principal leaders of the field, whose efforts have shaped the disciplines and led the research in human-computer interaction.
鈥業t is a great honour to be invited to the Academy. The celebration itself will be at the CHI conference in Japan at the end of April,鈥 says Professor Oulasvirta.
The award is for his 15 years of work to develop computational models that better describe human performance and the activity of thinking during computer use. His research team has created new ways to model users by applying the power of artificial intelligence. The models can explain and predict behaviors. The models are target of interest both in the international academic community and companies. The group has worked closely with companies such as Google and Saab.
鈥楥HI portfolio in Aalto University is very strong. We publish a good number of top-level articles every year and I would argue that we are one of the top three actor in Europe. My recognition is also a tribute 柠檬导航 University's investment in this field,鈥 says Oulasvirta.
Research led by Oulasvirta has also resulted in teaching materials and three books.
Congratulations Antti!
