description: In this paper, we demonstrate how the state-of-the-art machine learning and text mining techniques can be used to build effective social media-based substance use detection systems. Since a substance use ground truth is difficult to obtain on a large scale, to maximize system performance, we explore different unsupervised feature learning methods to take advantage of a large amount of unsupervised social media data. We also demonstrate the benefit of using multi-view unsupervised feature learning to combine heterogeneous user information such as Facebook “likes” and “status updates” to enhance system performance. Based on our evaluation, our best models achieved 86% AUC for predicting tobacco use, 81% for alcohol use and 84% for illicit drug use, all of which significantly outperformed existing methods. Our investigation has also uncovered interesting relations between a user's social media behavior (e.g., word usage) and substance use.

description: Traditional interfaces are continuously being replaced by mobile, wearable, or pervasive interfaces. Yet when it comes to the input and output modalities enabling our interactions, we have yet to fully embrace some of the most natural forms of communication and information processing that humans possess: speech, language, gestures, thoughts. Very little HCI attention has been dedicated to designing and developing spoken language, acoustic-based, or multimodal interaction techniques, especially for mobile and wearable devices. In addition to the enormous, recent engineering progress in processing such modalities, there is now sufficient evidence that many real-life applications do not require 100% accuracy of processing multimodal input to be useful, particularly if such modalities complement each other. This multidisciplinary, one-day workshop will bring together interaction designers, usability researchers, and general HCI practitioners to analyze the opportunities and directions to take in designing more natural interactions especially with mobile and wearable devices, and to look at how we can leverage recent advances in speech, acoustic, and multimodal processing.

description: Delay discounting, a behavioral measure of impulsivity, is often used to quantify the human tendency to choose a smaller, sooner reward (e.g., $1 today) over a larger, later reward ($2 tomorrow). Delay discounting and its relation to human decision making is a hot topic in economics and behavior science since pitting the demands of long-term goals against short term desires is among the most difficult tasks in human decision making [Hirsh et al., 2008]. Previously, small-scale studies based on questionnaires were used to analyze an individual’s delay discounting rate (DDR) and his/her realworld behavior (e.g., substance abuse) [Kirby et al., 1999]. In this research, we employ large-scale social media analytics to study DDR and its relation to people’s social media behavior (e.g., Facebook Likes). We also build computational models to automatically infer DDR from Social Media Likes. Our investigation has revealed interesting results.

description: In this paper, we present a study on personalized emphasis framing which can be used to tailor the content of a message to enhance its appeal to different individuals. With this framework, we directly model content selection decisions based on a set of psychologically-motivated domainindependent personal traits including personality (e.g., extraversion) and basic human values (e.g., self-transcendence). We also demonstrate how the analysis results can be used in automated personalized content selection for persuasive message generation.

description: Statistical topic models have become a useful and ubiquitous tool for analyzing large text corpora. One common application of statistical topic models is to support topic-centric navigation and exploration of document collections. Existing work on topic modeling focuses on the inference of model parameters so the resulting model fits the input data. Since the exact inference is intractable, statistical inference methods, such as Gibbs Sampling, are commonly used to solve the problem. However, most of the existing work ignores an important aspect that is closely related to the end user experience: topic model stability. When the model is either re-trained with the same input data or updated with new documents, the topic previously assigned to a document may change under the new model, which may result in a disruption of end users’ mental maps about the relations between documents and topics, thus undermining the usability of the applications. In this article, we propose a novel user-directed non-disruptive topic model update method that balances the tradeoff between finding the model that fits the data and maintaining the stability of the model from end users’ perspective. It employs a novel constrained LDA algorithm to incorporate pairwise document constraints, which are converted from user feedback about topics, to achieve topic model stability. Evaluation results demonstrate the advantages of our approach over previous methods.

description: In this paper, we analyze domain bias in automated textbased personality prediction, and proposes a novel method to correct domain bias. The proposed approach is very general since it requires neither retraining a personality prediction system using examples from a new domain, nor any knowledge of the original training data used to develop the system. We conduct several experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of the method, and the findings indicate a significant improvement of prediction accuracy.

description: World-wide, tropical savannas and dry forests are under increasing pressure from land use. The environmental impacts of agricultural expansion into these ecosystems have received much attention, yet subtler changes in natural vegetation remain severely understudied. We explored how bird communities vary along gradients of woody vegetation in the South American Dry Chaco by combining high-resolution, satellite-based tree, shrub and total woody cover with field data on the frequency of 82 bird species surveyed in 167 plots. We identified change points along woody cover gradients where the relative frequency of individual bird species dropped most strongly. Based on this, we identified forest indicator species and assessed evidence for community-level thresholds. Most forest birds (71%) had clear change points in their frequencies along vegetation gradients, starting as high as 38% total woody cover. Many (41%) forest species declined drastically at woody cover levels of less than 11%. This general pattern was similar for tree and shrub cover. Only 7% of our study area had woody cover levels where we detected no response in forest bird communities. In contrast, 68% of the area had woody cover levels with incremental declines in forest bird species, and 25% of the study area had woody cover levels below the forest bird community threshold. We identified 11 indicator species strongly related to woody cover, with highest frequencies in the eastern and western Dry Chaco. Spatial distributions of these species corresponded well with areas above and below woody vegetation thresholds. Synthesis and applications. We found evidence for critical thresholds for forest birds along woody cover gradients in dry forests and implemented tools to map where these thresholds have been crossed. For the Chaco, we highlight the importance of maintaining woody cover levels above about 40%, such as in certain silvopastoral systems that can be much more wildlife-friendly than other forms of agriculture. We identify remaining areas of potentially intact forest bird communities. More broadly, this study highlights the value of combining species-level (indicator species' distributions) and ecosystem-level (satellite-based, continuous woody cover maps) surrogates for understanding biodiversity patterns and threats.
