Paper Presentations

If you are a student in CSCI 6800 or CSCI 4800H, then you must present one HCI research paper during a DDQ this semester. Please read this entire page for important information regarding this requirement.

Schedule

At the end of drop/add, there were 4 graduate students and 1 honors-option student. Dr. Cotterell will email these students for scheduling information.

Recordings

A video recording for each paper presentation can be found here on eLC.

Where to Find Papers

The ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI) describes itself as the premier international society for professionals, academics and students who are interested in human-technology and HCI. You may pick any SIGCHI-sponsored full research paper published in 2017 or later, unless that paper has already been chosen by another student.

Here are some sources for SIGCHI-sponsored research papers:

Some Potential Papers

Dr. Cotterell found the papers below interesting. You do NOT have to pick one of these.

  1. Lucas Colusso, Ridley Jones, Sean A. Munson, and Gary Hsieh. A Translational Science Model for HCI. In Proceedings of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, CHI ’19, 1–13. New York, NY, USA, 2019. Association for Computing Machinery. doi:10.1145/3290605.3300231.

  2. Nanna Inie and Peter Dalsgaard. How Interaction Designers Use Tools to Manage Ideas. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, March 2020. doi:10.1145/3365104.

  3. Alannah Oleson, Meron Solomon, and Amy J. Ko. Computing Students’ Learning Difficulties in HCI Education. In Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, CHI ’20, 1–14. New York, NY, USA, 2020. Association for Computing Machinery. doi:10.1145/3313831.3376149.

What to Prepare

There are three components to a single research paper presentation that you must complete:

  1. Literature Review Matrix

    1. Read Keshav’s How to Read a Paper (see Resources).

    2. Download a copy of the Literature Review Matrix (see Resources).

    3. As you make multiple passes through the research paper, fill out the review matrix. Not only will this help you understand the paper better, it will also help you stay focussed when preparing your presentation.

    4. Email your completed literature matrix to Dr. Cotterell before your presentation date with the following subject, replacing Lastname with your last name:

      CSCI 4800H/6800 Lastname Matrix

  2. Presentation

    1. Give a 25 - 30 minute presentation to the class on one or more contributions presented in the paper.

      • You must be mindful of your target audience: they are mostly undergraduate students who have not read the paper.

        • With that in mind, you might want to focus your presentation on the answers you provided to the “2nd pass” questions in your review matrix.

        • Include visual aids when possible, and try to help the audience relate to the material you’re presenting.

        • Please be sure to describe the methods used in the paper, when applicable. This may require you to consult other resources.

      • You must give your presentation live over Zoom. Prerecorded presentations will not be allowed.

  3. Q&A

    1. After your presentation, you should take questions from the audience, and do your best to answer those questions. You might not be able to answer them all, and that’s okay.
