    Doctoral dissertation
    University of Helsinki Main Building, Auditorium XII, Unioninkatu 34

    The causal relationships determining the behaviour of a system under study are inherently directional: by manipulating a cause we can control its effect, but an effect cannot be used to control its cause. Understanding the network of causal relationships is necessary, for example, if we want to predict the behaviour in settings where the system is subject to...

  • Enformation Theory - "Physical Vitalism"

    Prof. Heikki Hyotyniemi, Finland

    Abstract:

    Enformation is "energetic information": being a form of energy, it has the capacity to make changes in the world. In this way, it defines "natural semantics" that gives meaning to emergent structures (but no purpose). Following the enformation flow it turns out that the diversity in natural systems, for example, can be explained in a novel way in terms of new kinds of "emergent ecolockers".

    Doctoral dissertation
    Aalto-yliopiston perustieteiden korkeakoulun auditorio D, Otakaari 1, Espoo

    Nykypäivän monimutkaiset tiedon tarpeet edellyttävät uudenaikaisia rajapintoja ja käyttöliittymiä ihmisen ja koneen väliseen vuorovaikutukseen. Tässä väitöskirjassa tutkitaan erästä lähes taianomaista vuorovaikutuksen periaatetta, tekoälyohjelmia, jotka ymmärtävät käyttäjää tarkkailemalla hänen...

  • Who are my users and how i can help them? The quest of user-adaptive interaction

    Prof. Cristina Conati, University of British Columbia, Canada

    Abstract:

    The Web and the rapidly increasing availability of sophisticated media have dramatically enhanced the potential of computers as interactive tools that support a large variety of users in a growing range of tasks. However, designing complex interactive systems that satisfy the needs of individual users from highly heterogeneous user...
