Luigi, Alberto, Tommaso, Luca, and Rob will be there in person. If you see any of us, feel free to say hello: we're always happy to chat! 😊
The team will present a full paper on scientific writing with AI, along with two Late-Breaking Works (LBWs) on digital wellbeing.
On March 24-27, 2025, the e-Lite group will attend (in person) the 30th International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2025) in Cagliari, Italy.
Tommaso Calò will present the paper "DeepFlow: A Flow-Based Visual Programming Tool for Deep Learning Development" on Thursday, March 27 during the Democratisation of AI session at 10:05 AM.
On September 4-6, 2024, the e-Lite group will attend (in person) the 4th International Conference on Information Technology for Social Good (GoodIT 2024) in Bremen, Germany. Luca Scibetta will present the work-in-progress paper "Dialogues with Digital Wisdom: Can LLMs Help Us Put Down the Phone?" on Wednesday, 4 September at 10:00 (WiP 1).
On June 26, I presented the work "Empowering Users: End User Development for Mobile Applications Privacy Management" at the first International Workshop on Trusted Computing and Artificial Intelligence applied to Cybersecurity, held in Paris.
Smartphones have become integral to everyday life, offering numerous benefits but also raising significant privacy and security concerns. Users often face challenges managing app permissions and protecting personal data due to the complexity of existing smartphone operating system settings. Our research addresses these issues by introducing Privacy Manager, a mobile application designed for Android devices that employs an End-User Development (EUD) approach.
On June 2024, 2024, Luigi De Russis joined (online) the closing and awards ceremony at the Intelligent Environments (IE) 2024 conference to receive the Most Influential Paper Award for the 2018 paper entitled "'Hey Siri, do you understand me?': Virtual Assistants and Dysarthria".
On June 4-7, 2024, the e-Lite group will attend (in person) the 17th International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI 2024) in Arenzano, Italy.
The group will organize a workshop entitled "Digital Wellbeing for Teens: Designing Educational Systems (DIGI-Teens 2024)" in the morning of Tuesday, 4 June as part of a PRIN 2022 research project. Luigi De Russis, Alberto Monge Roffarello, Luca Scibetta e Massimiliano Pellegrino will join the workshop (and the entire conference).
Massimiliano Pellegrino will present the short paper "Digital Wellbeing Lens: Design Interfaces That Respect User Attention" on Friday, 7 June at 12:00 (session: Design).
The "Global MOOC and Online Education Alliance" is an international alliance for exchange and cooperation of higher education institutions, to address digital education challenges and to implement practical policies in local communities and around the world. It is a small and diverse group of 17 world-leading universities and 3 online education platforms from across 14 countries in all 6 continents and speaks 10 different languages, and was initiated by Tsinghua University in 2020.
On December 14-16, the Global MOOC Alliance organized its annual conference, hosted by Politecnico di Milano, under the theme Reconstruction of Future Universities and Education Driven by Artificial Intelligence. On December 15, during the Plenary Session, Fulvio Corno gave a short keynote speech about Students’ Digital Twins for open exploration of AI features, where he outlined a possible strategy for a Technical University such as Politecnico di Torino, to leverage their skills and resources to tackle the continuous evolution of AI tools and solutions, in order to provide innovative services to the education community, by elaborating a concept of an AI Playground.
On September 6-8, 2023, the e-Lite group will attend (in person) the 3rd International Conference on Information Technology for Social Good (GoodIT 2023) in Lisbon, Portugal. Alberto Monge Roffarello will present the regular paper "Nudging Users or Redesigning Interfaces? Evaluating Novel Strategies for Digital Wellbeing Through inControl" on Wednesday, 6 September at 13:30 (Session 2).
The 2023 edition of the Italian Symposium on Digital Education (ISYDE), organized by the Italian e-Learning Society (SIe-L), is planned in Reggio Emilia (Italy) on September 13-15. From the e-Lite group, Fulvio will participate in the special plenary session Blending strategies in universities: methods, technologies and policies, that focuses on the adoption of blending learning technologies on some major Italian universities.
On June 26-30, 2023, the e-Lite group participated (in person) in the 15th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems (EICS 2023) in Swansea, United Kingdom.
Our participation proved to be a fruitful engagement, full of insightful discussions, critical feedback, and opportunities for growth. Here, we discuss the responses to our presentations and the constructive criticism we have garnered for future improvements.
Juan Pablo Sáenz and Tommaso Calò each presented a paper, while Tommaso also discussed his doctoral research during the Doctoral Consortium.
The first paper introduces an innovative conversational agent that captures a developer's reasoning and motivations during the coding process. The second paper, on the other hand, presents a visual programming tool enabling the design, training, and evaluation of deep learning models without the need for specific programming languages. Tommaso Calò's Doctoral Consortium research discusses how AI can bring changes to human experiences during design and creative processes.
