Human Computer Interaction In-Class Presentations

1. LLM

  • LLMS for Interaction between Humans and Computers
  • LLM integrated Recommendation Systems

2. Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs)

A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), sometimes referred to as a Brain-Machine Interface (BMI), is a system that establishes a direct line of communication between a brain and an external device. This device is often a computer or a robotic system. BCIs are typically aimed at helping, augmenting, or repairing a human's cognitive or sensory-motor functions.

One example of a BCI is Neuralink, a device that allows for direct communication between the human brain and computers. Using a Neuralink brain implant, users can control electronic devices, such as computers and mobile phones, simply by thinking.

BCIs can be invasive, semi-invasive, or non-invasive. Invasive BCIs are implanted directly into the brain, semi-invasive BCIs are implanted inside the skull but outside the brain tissue, and non-invasive BCIs are external devices such as EEG caps.

  • Brain Signal Capturing Headset
  • Neuroprosthesis for Speech Decoding and Avatar Control
    • Enables severely paralyzed individuals to communicate through a digital avatar that synthesizes both speech and facial expressions from brain signals.

4. VR & AR & MR

Virtual Reality (VR) creates a fully immersive digital environment that completely replaces the real world.

Augmented Reality (AR) integrates digital information with the real world, enhancing the user’s perception of their environment.

Mixed Reality (MR) combines elements of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) to merge the real and virtual worlds, allowing interaction between physical and digital objects.

  • Apple Vision Pro
  • METAVERSE BY META

Data Visualization Notes

Weber’s Law Kahneman's Thinking Stephen Few’s Perception - 3 Gestalt Principles - 6 Tufte’s Principles - 7 Munzner's Rules of Thumb - 6 L01 Introduction Definition of Visualization: Computer-based visualization systems provide visual representations of datasets to enhance task effectiveness. Purpose of Visualization: Augment human capabilities rather than replace decision-making with automated systems. Useful when fully automatic solutions are either unavailable or not trusted. Helps in exploratory analysis, presentation of known results, requirement assessment, and verification of automatic solutions. Role of External Representations: Replace cognitive processing with perceptual processing. Visual representations take advantage of the high-bandwidth human visual system, which processes information in parallel and pre-attentively. High-bandwidth channel to the brain, providing an overview with background processing. Vision supports simultaneous perceptio...

Exploring MemGPT: Enhancing Conversational AI with Extended Memory

Image
In my quest to delve deeper into the realm of Conversational AI, I recently embarked on an exciting journey with MemGPT . Designed to intelligently manage memory tiers when using Large Language Models (LLMs), MemGPT aims to extend the context window for more effective and dynamic conversations. However, my experience was not without its challenges. Armed with the Mistral-7b-instruct-v0.2.Q4_K_S model, I eagerly engaged with MemGPT, feeding it information about myself and eagerly anticipating seamless interactions. The initial results were promising; MemGPT remembered my name even after closing and reopening the chat session, hinting at its potential to retain critical information across interactions. (memgpt) PS C:\Users\Admin\Downloads\AI\memgpt> memgpt run --model-endpoint http://localhost:1234 --model-endpoint-type lmstudio Loading config from C:\Users\Admin\.memgpt\config ?

Leveraging Existing Security Controls: Strengthening Frameworks and Languages

Image
In the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity, developers are continually challenged to fortify their applications against an array of threats. One strategy gaining traction is the reuse of existing security controls within frameworks or programming languages. This approach not only enhances the security posture but also streamlines the development process by leveraging established solutions. Let’s delve into the significance and benefits of this practice. Enhancing Security Posture Incorporating existing security controls bolsters the defense mechanisms of applications from various vulnerabilities. Frameworks and languages often provide built-in functionalities to mitigate common security risks such as injection attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS), and authentication flaws. By tapping into these pre-existing defenses, developers can erect robust barriers against potential exploits without reinventing the wheel. Streamlining Development Efforts Reusing security controls within framewor...
