The reading clubs will be back after my maternity leave! 🤱

For the last session of the reading club on #human_computer_interaction, we read an "in-house" paper by P. Galvão-Ferreira, M. Ferreira, T. Silva @nunojnunes.bsky.social & V. Nisi published at #TEI25:

The Entangled Tales that Landscapes Tell: An Embodied HCI Pedagogy for Re-enchanted Nature Walks

Today I hosted one last session of the reading club on #human_ai_interaction at @gaipslab.bsky.social before my maternity leave. We read:

"Language as reality: a co-creative storytelling game experience in 1001 nights using generative AI" from AIIDE'23

🤖 🎉 I have reached 1000 citations! Apparently, people read my papers and not just Reviewer 2 double-checking the changes. Thanks to everyone who has cited my work, whether you found it genuinely useful, needed a filler reference, or just clicked the first thing on Google Scholar. It made my day! 🙌

Today I had the pleasure to be part of the jury committee of Giulia Pusceddu in her PhD defense. She successfully defended her PhD thesis supervised by Alessandra Sciutti and Rea Francesco from Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia.

Gongrats Dr. Pusceddu!
🥳🤓🤖

Yesterday at the @gaipslab.bsky.social reading group on #human_ai_interaction we read:

Lee, S., Hwang, S., Kim, D., & Lee, K. (2025, April). Conversational Agents as Catalysts for Critical Thinking: Challenging Social Influence in Group Decision-making. CHI'25 LBW.

A very interesting paper today at the @gaipslab.bsky.social reading group:

Nikolova, M., Cnossen, F., & Nikolaev, B. (2024). Robots, meaning, and self-determination. Research Policy, 53(5), 104987.

After some national holidays, the reading group on #human_ai_interaction is back! Today at @gaipslab.bsky.social, we read:

"Investigating machine moral judgement through the Delphi experiment" www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Reading club on human-ai interaction at @gaipslab.bsky.social: session 11 of the year!

Dr. Paulo from now on! @soraiafpaulo.bsky.social successfully defended her PhD today 🥳

Our reading session of today on #human_ai_interaction at @gaipslab.bsky.social with the paper: "Improving multiparty interactions with a robot using large language models".

The weekly reading club at @gaipslab.bsky.social on #human_ai_interaction keeps a strong streak!

This week we read "Who/what is my teammate? Team composition considerations in human–AI teaming".

I am glad to share my most recent scientific contribution, a book chapter on "Ethical Considerations in Designing and Testing Robots for Children in Educational Settings", co-authored by Patrícia Arriaga, Isabel Neto and António Soares.

Check out the book chapter:

This paper felt provocative and evocative, I really enjoyed taking this tiny hour of my week to read it!

Today at the #hci reading club, @nenhures.net @hnicolau.bsky.social Terhi and I had a really nice discussion on the paper “Traveling Arts x HCI Sketchbook: Exploring the Intersection Between Artistic Expression and Human-Computer Interaction”.

Today was the 8th session of the #human_ai_interaction reading club at @gaipslab.bsky.social. We read "Lessons for artificial intelligence from the study of natural stupidity".

Finishing second phase #IJCAI2025 reviews right on time! 🤓

The weekly reading club on #human_ai_interactions keeps strong with high attendance at @gaipslab.bsky.social. Today we read a paper from #HRI2020:

"Designing social cues for collaborative robots: the role of gaze and breathing in human-robot collaboration" by Y. Terzioğlu, B. Mutlu, and E. Sahin.

Another weekly session of the #hci_reading_club at ITI. This time with a paper from #CHI2019:

The promise of empathy: Design, disability, and knowing the" other" by Bennett, C. L., & Rosner, D. K.

Today at the reading club on #human_ai_interaction hosted at @gaipslab.bsky.social, but today in hybrid mode, we read:

There is an “I” in “We”: Relatedness Technologies Viewed Through the Lens of the Need for Autonomy

by Christiane Wenhart and Marc Hassenzahl.

GAIPS lab is finally at blue sky 🥳

Finally!!!
