Unintuitive Features Study

Nowadays, AI systems have been applied widely in a variety of predictive tasks, from objective detection to text classification. These AI systems have greatly advanced automated decision-making. However, sometimes humans and AI systems think in very different ways, which means humans and AI systems might use different evidence to make predictions. In this study, we are using sentiment analysis of Amazon product reviews as a case study. Humans will judge sentiments of different words with different AI explanations. Human and AI judgments will be compared to find to which extend human and AI knowledge align.

Informational professionals and the use of ChatGPT

In this study, we want to learn more about how informational professionals interact with large language models such as ChatGPT, Bing AI, and Google Bard. We are interviewing and conducting diary studies with information professionals (e.g. finance, law, IT, business, academia, journalism, and consulting) who regularly use these systems in their work to understand the information practices they engage in while using these systems. Previous study participants have noted that the diary entries enabled them to reflect more deeply on their use of these tools and the interview has helped synthesized what they have documented. We hope you may find such benefits in your participation as well.

North Carolina Victims of Crime Needs Assessment

In this study, we want to learn if existing services meet the needs of people who experience crime in North Carolina.

Although the assessment is meant to cover all North Carolinians, the GCC and research team have identified specific priority populations, including: veterans, immigrants, refugees, people with disabilities, older adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, teens, people from religious minority groups, people who are unhoused/experiencing homelessness, co-victims of homicide, indigenous communities, people with limited English proficiency, and people of color.
