Bias-Aware Real-time Interactive Material Screening System

We introduce BiasEye, a bias-aware real-time interactive material screening visualization system. BiasEye enhances awareness of cognitive biases by improving information accessibility and transparency. It also aids users in identifying and mitigating biases through a machine learning (ML) approach that models individual screening preferences. Findings from a mixed-design user study with 20 participants demonstrate that, compared to a baseline system lacking our bias-aware features, BiasEye increases participants’ bias awareness and boosts their confidence in making final decisions. At last, we discuss the potential of ML and visualization in mitigating biases during human decision-making tasks.

Re-visualizing Music Comments with Map Metaphors

We propose a novel approach that leverages deep learning methods to capture contextual keywords, sentiments, and induced mechanisms from song comments. The study augments a current music app with two features, including the presentation of tags that best represent song comments and a novel map metaphor that reorganizes song comments based on chronological order, content, and sentiment. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through a usage scenario and a user study that demonstrate its capability to improve the user experience of exploring songs and browsing comments of interest.
