Human–AI Co-Writing for Scientific Peer Review: An HCI Framework for Transparent, Calibrated Assistance
type: item
description: Large language models (LLMs) increasingly assist reviewers in drafting, organizing, and justifying peer-review reports. While such tools promise faster, clearer feedback, they risk over-confident claims, ungrounded citations, and homogenized critique that can erode reviewer accountability and author trust. We study AI-assisted peer review as a human–computer interaction (HCI) problem centered on co-writing under constraints of fairness, transparency, and time. Through a multi-method investigation—(i) contextual inquiry with 24 active reviewers across computer science, industrial engineering, and HCI venues; (ii) two controlled experiments (N=96 reviews) comparing prompt patterns, evidence-linking, and uncertainty displays; and (iii) a six-week field deployment of a review-composition interface integrated with a manuscript viewer—we derive a design framework that aligns AI generation with reviewer judgment and venue policy. Interface patterns that (1) require evidence anchoring (inline links to exact manuscript spans), (2) enforce claim typing with uncertainty ranges, and (3) provide counter-arguments on demand improved rubric coverage (+22%), rationale specificity (+31%), and self-reported confidence calibration (+28%) while preserving reviewer voice. However, naive auto-summaries elevated superficiality and increased reliance on model phrasing. We contribute actionable guidelines, auditing checklists, and failure taxonomies for safe, transparent AI co-writing in scientific peer review.

Human–AI Collaboration for Clinical Decision Support: An HCI Design Framework
type: item
description: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in clinical decision support (CDS) systems for triage, diagnosis, and care planning. Yet, improvements in model performance do not automatically translate into safer or better clinical decisions. In high-stakes environments such as emergency departments (EDs), the success of CDS hinges on human–computer interaction (HCI): how information is presented, when and how recommendations arrive, and how accountability, oversight, and feedback are managed within complex workflows. This paper advances a comprehensive HCI framework for human–AI collaboration in CDS across three layers: (1) information design (uncertainty-forward summaries, contrastive explanations, progressive disclosure), (2) coordination design (workflow-aligned timing, interruption management, handoff support), and (3) governance design (provenance, auditability, and clinician override as first-class operations). We report findings from a mixed-methods program: 36 hours of contextual inquiry in two EDs; two controlled studies with 72 clinicians comparing uncertainty encodings and explanation patterns; and an eight-week field deployment of a modular interface layer running in shadow mode over an existing risk-prediction model. The interface variants with uncertainty-aware summaries and counterfactual explanations produced a statistically significant reduction in over-treatment (–14%, p < .05), improved trust calibration (+27% reduction in calibration error, p < .01), and decreased handoff screen-switching (–22%). The deployment preserved decision time within operational thresholds (median change +6s, n.s.) and reduced post-hoc diagnostic revisions (–19%). We surface risks, including automation bias induced by persuasive explanations and alert fatigue from mistimed prompts, and we propose concrete mitigations. The paper contributes: a rigorously evaluated design framework; reusable UI patterns with parameterizations for uncertainty and contrastive reasonin…

Comparative Study of Hybrid and Calibrated Entity Linking for Semantic Enrichment Across Domains
type: item
description: Bibliometric evidence [17] indicates rapid growth in semantic enrichment, yet comparative studies that integrate calibration and human-in-the-loop (HITL) operation remain scarce. We present a cross-domain comparison of four systems: (i) BM25+metadata, (ii) SBERT bi-encoder, (iii) domain-adapted bi-encoder+cross-encoder, and (iv) a hybrid that pairs (iii) with calibrated thresholds and lightweight HITL review. Across news, technical reports, and clinical-like narratives, the hybrid achieves the best end-to-end macro-F1 and reliability (lower ECE) with acceptable latency. We contribute four reproducible figures (PR curves, reliability, accuracy–throughput trade-off, error taxonomy) and tables for dataset statistics, metrics, and latency.

Clinical Semantic Enrichment with Calibration and FHIR Interoperability
type: item
description: Clinical notes and reports contain high-value signals for analytics and care pathways, but they are heterogeneous, noisy, and riddled with privacy-sensitive details. Building on the bibliometric evidence base in [20], we design an applied pipeline for clinical semantic enrichment that (i) performs PHI redaction, (ii) recognizes entities and links them to SNOMED CT and LOINC through UMLS, (iii) calibrates cross-encoder scores for risk-aware operation, and (iv) exports interoperable resources in HL7 FHIR. Evaluated on mixed corpora (discharge summaries, radiology reports, lab narratives), the approach improves candidate PR and macro-F1 while reducing latency. We provide reproducible figures (architecture, PR curves, reliability, latency), two tables (metrics and ontology coverage), and deployment guidance for hospital IT and research teams.

Human–AI Collaboration for Semantic Enrichment: Interaction Design, Accessibility, and Risk-Aware Review
type: item
description: Semantic enrichment tools are increasingly used by analysts, editors, and curators to attach entities and relations to text at scale. Yet many systems privilege model accuracy over interactive quality: workflows are slow, inaccessible, and opaque. Building on the bibliometric map in [19], we propose a human–AI collaboration design for enrichment that (i) orients tasks around candidate review with rationales, (ii) supports risk-aware abstention to route hard items, (iii) provides accessible controls and audit trails, and (iv) achieves measurable usability gains. Across three scenarios, we reduce time-on-task by 23–28%, raise SUS to 78.4, and drop operator-verified errors at higher confidence thresholds. We release reproducible figures (workflow, SUS histogram, time-on-task, threshold–error) and template-conformant tables.

Investigating AI-Driven Adaptive Interfaces to Enhance User Engagement
type: item
description: This paper presents a large-scale experimental investigation into how AI-driven adaptive user interfaces can improve user engagement in data-intensive tasks. Over 60 participants engaged with both static and dynamically adaptive dashboards; the latter reordered widgets in real time using a LightGBM model trained on preliminary interaction logs. We collected objective metrics (task completion time, error rates) and subjective measures (NASA-TLX, User Engagement Scale). The adaptive condition exhibited a 14 % reduction in completion time and a 22 % increase in reported engagement (p ¡ 0.01), alongside a 17 % decrease in perceived workload. Qualitative feedback highlighted enhanced perceived intuitiveness and satisfaction. We situate our contributions within emerging AI-HCI research, extend theory on personalization reflexives, and propose guidelines for deploying real-time adaptation responsibly. Our findings confirm that machine-learning-powered adaptation is both feasible and beneficial for enriching user experience in professional analytics tools. We conclude by discussing implications for explainability, privacy, and longitudinal viability.

Optimizing Data Input Interfaces Through User Error Analysis: A Statistical and HCI-Driven Approach
type: item
description: Accurate and efficient data input interfaces are essential for user interaction in a wide range of digital systems, from online forms to enterprise software. However, poorly designed input forms often lead to high error rates, increased cognitive load, and inefficiencies in task completion. This paper presents a comprehensive approach to optimizing data input interfaces by integrating Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) principles with statistical analysis techniques. The study compares three types of input form designs—simple, complex, and optimized layouts—focusing on their impact on user performance, including task completion time, error rates, and interaction counts (such as clicks and screen changes). By utilizing synthetic and real-world user data, we employ statistical methods to analyze how interface design choices influence user behavior, revealing patterns in error frequency and task inefficiency. Through iterative testing and user-centered redesign, the research aims to demonstrate how optimizing layout structure, minimizing unnecessary interactions, and improving input validation can reduce cognitive load and enhance user accuracy. The findings underscore the value of a data-driven approach to interface design, with results showing significant reductions in error rates and task times when optimized interfaces are implemented. This research offers an innovative framework for combining HCI insights and statistical analysis, providing a replicable methodology for improving the usability of data input systems across various industries. The proposed approach not only identifies specific design flaws but also delivers practical, evidence-based solutions for creating more intuitive and user-friendly interfaces, ultimately enhancing user experience and system efficiency.

Enhancing User Experience for Real-Time Panic Attack Detection with Wearable Technology: A Human-Computer Interaction Approach with Machine Learning Integration
type: item
description: Panic attacks are sudden and debilitating episodes of intense fear, often accompanied by physiological symptoms such as increased heart rate, irregular heart rhythms, and shortness of breath. Early detection and timely intervention can significantly improve the management of panic disorder. This paper presents a human-computer interaction (HCI) focused approach to real-time panic attack detection using wearable devices that monitor physiological signals. The system uses data such as heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), and electrocardiogram (ECG) to predict panic attacks. A machine learning model, incorporating algorithms such as Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), is employed to analyze these signals and detect abnormal patterns indicative of a panic episode. The study prioritizes the user interface design and interaction experience, ensuring the system is user-friendly, discreet, and provides timely alerts and coping strategies. A six-month clinical trial with participants diagnosed with panic disorder demonstrated the feasibility of real-time monitoring and detection. Results show promising accuracy in detecting panic attacks, while user feedback indicated high satisfaction with the device's usability and effectiveness in real-world scenarios. This research contributes to the growing field of wearable technology in mental health by integrating machine learning with a focus on improving user experience.

The Influence of Color Schemes and Aesthetics on User Satisfaction in Web Design: An Empirical Study
type: item
description: The visual design of a website, particularly the choice of color schemes and overall aesthetics, plays a crucial role in shaping user satisfaction and influencing user behavior. This study explores the impact of color schemes and aesthetic elements on user satisfaction by conducting an empirical analysis across different types of websites, including e-commerce, educational, and informational platforms. By utilizing a mixed-method approach that combines quantitative data from user satisfaction surveys and qualitative feedback from usability testing, the research investigates how color schemes influence user perceptions of usability, trustworthiness, and emotional engagement. The study reveals that certain color schemes, especially those that align with cultural preferences and psychological associations, can enhance users’ emotional connection with a website, improving their perception of usability and encouraging longer engagement. Conversely, poorly chosen color palettes can lead to negative emotional responses, reducing satisfaction and trust. Additionally, the overall aesthetic harmony of a website, including the balance of colors, imagery, and layout, significantly contributes to the user's overall experience and satisfaction. The findings underscore the importance of visual coherence and suggest that web designers must not only consider the psychological effects of individual colors but also how these elements work together to create a seamless and satisfying user experience. This study offers valuable insights for web designers, UX professionals, and marketers aiming to optimize visual design for enhanced user satisfaction, and it suggests further exploration of other design components like typography and layout in relation to color schemes.

Investigating Interaction Fatigue in Gesture-Based Interfaces: A Comprehensive Study on User Performance, Physical Strain, and Task Efficiency
type: item
description: Gesture-based interfaces offer intuitive and immersive interaction methods, but prolonged use can lead to interaction fatigue, which can negatively impact user performance and satisfaction. This study explores the effects of extended use of gesture-based interfaces on task efficiency, error rates, and physical strain. Forty participants engaged in tasks of varying complexity, with physical strain measured using wearable fitness trackers to monitor heart rate and activity levels. Additionally, subjective fatigue levels were recorded using the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale. Task performance data, including task completion times and error rates, were analyzed to assess the impact of fatigue on efficiency. Results indicate a significant correlation between increased physical strain and a decline in performance, particularly in tasks requiring complex gestures. Time-series analysis revealed critical thresholds where fatigue begins to impair performance, while correlation plots highlighted the relationship between physical exertion and error rates. The findings provide insights into designing more ergonomic and adaptive gesture-based systems that can mitigate fatigue and improve long-term user experience, offering practical guidelines for enhancing interface usability during extended interactions.

Enhancing Human-Computer Interaction in Healthcare: Optimizing UI/UX Design for Electronic Health Records (EHR) Systems
type: item
description: Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems are critical components of modern healthcare, providing digital platforms for managing patient information, streamlining clinical workflows, and supporting medical decision-making. However, despite their widespread adoption, EHR systems often suffer from poor user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design, leading to significant challenges such as increased cognitive load, workflow disruption, user dissatisfaction, and even the risk of medical errors. This paper addresses the need to optimize the UI/UX of EHR systems by examining the core human-computer interaction (HCI) issues that healthcare professionals face when interacting with these systems. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing EHR design practices, common usability flaws, and user feedback, we identify key pain points, including complex navigation, inefficient task flows, and lack of customization. We propose design improvements based on HCI principles, such as task-oriented interfaces, minimalistic design to reduce cognitive load, and better alignment with clinical workflows to enhance usability. The study emphasizes the importance of a user-centered design approach that actively involves healthcare professionals in the design process, ensuring that EHR systems support the efficiency, accuracy, and safety needed in healthcare environments. The findings of this research suggest that by focusing on intuitive and efficient UI/UX design, EHR systems can better serve the needs of clinicians, reduce burnout, and contribute to improved patient outcomes.

Statistical Evaluation of Multimodal Interfaces: Exploring User Preferences for Combined Input Methods
type: item
description: Multimodal interfaces, which integrate input methods such as voice, touch, and gesture, are increasingly used to enhance user interaction. However, understanding user preferences and optimizing the combination of input modalities remains a challenge. This paper presents a comprehensive statistical analysis of user preferences for different input method combinations, focusing on how these combinations affect task performance, efficiency, and overall satisfaction. A study was conducted with participants performing tasks that required various levels of complexity. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was applied to investigate the effects of combined input modalities on task completion time, error rates, and user satisfaction. Regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing user preference for specific input combinations, including demographic and behavioral variables. The results demonstrate clear preferences for certain combinations of input methods depending on task type and complexity, offering key insights into the design of more adaptive and efficient multimodal systems. These findings provide a statistical foundation for improving the integration of multimodal inputs, leading to enhanced user experiences and more effective system designs.

Beyond Speed and Distance: Expanding Metrics for Detecting User Frustration in Human-Computer Interaction
type: item
description: The detection of emotional states, particularly frustration, during human-computer interaction (HCI) is critical for optimizing user experience and system performance. While prior research has primarily focused on mouse cursor speed and distance as indicators of negative emotion, this study seeks to broaden the scope by introducing and evaluating novel behavioral metrics. We explore additional indicators such as hesitation patterns, interaction pauses, click dynamics, and trajectory irregularities to capture more nuanced emotional responses. By integrating these metrics with traditional tracking data, we aim to enhance the accuracy of frustration detection in real-time system interactions. Through a series of experiments conducted in both controlled environments and live user interfaces, our results demonstrate a significant improvement in detecting emotional variability and user frustration. This approach paves the way for the design of adaptive, emotion-aware systems that can dynamically adjust to users' emotional states, ultimately leading to more intuitive and satisfying user experiences. Our findings provide a foundation for the development of next-generation HCI designs that prioritize user emotion as a key component of interaction design.

description: The integration of real-time speech emotion analysis with contextual awareness in virtual assistants has the potential to significantly enhance user interactions. This study presents a novel approach to adaptive virtual assistant interaction by employing hybrid deep learning models, specifically 1D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) combined with attention mechanisms, to accurately detect and interpret user emotions. Additionally, the system incorporates contextual awareness, leveraging conversation history, user preferences, and environmental factors to adapt responses dynamically. The hybrid model is trained on a comprehensive speech emotion dataset, and its performance is evaluated against baseline methods using various metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Comparative analyses and ablation studies highlight the impact of the attention mechanisms and contextual modules. Real-time performance tests demonstrate the system's responsiveness and efficiency in a simulated virtual assistant environment. The integration of the emotion recognition system into a virtual assistant framework is detailed, with examples of adaptive interaction scenarios. A user experience study assesses the impact on user satisfaction and interaction quality. The findings indicate significant improvements in the virtual assistant's ability to respond appropriately to user emotions and contexts, paving the way for more personalized and engaging user experiences. Future research directions include exploring multimodal emotion recognition and further enhancing system robustness.

description: The increasing popularity of virtual reality (VR) gaming has brought significant attention to user experience factors such as scene complexity, workload, presence, and cybersickness. This study explores the relationships between these elements in a task-based VR game environment. By conducting a comprehensive analysis of user interactions and experiences, we aim to identify how varying levels of scene complexity and workload impact the sense of presence and the incidence of cybersickness. Furthermore, the study investigates the potential of head movement patterns as indicators of cybersickness. The findings suggest that higher scene complexity and workload correlate with increased cybersickness, while a strong sense of presence may mitigate some negative effects. These insights provide valuable guidelines for VR game developers to enhance user experience and minimize cybersickness.
