AI-assisted Deceptive Hotel Review Detection

The purpose of this research study is to investigate how human interpret some predictive learned by AI systems when detecting deceptive hotel reviews and how AI explanations can shape human understanding. For instance, the AI system learns that words like "floor" and "bathroom" are highly predictive of genuine reviews and words like "husband" and "luxury" are highly predictive of deceptive reviews. While the AI system highlights these words by learning from the data, the association between these words and the outcome are not easy to comprehend for humans. Thus, our goal of this research is to investigate how participants interact with machine-generated explanations that are unintuitive, and how participants make use of our developed visualizations and tools to make sense of these unintuitive features.

Usability Study of an Explainable AI-driven Risk Assessment Tool for the Prediction of Postpartum Depression

The focus of the research is on the challenges associated with achieving explainability in analytics and AI powered approaches applied in risk predictions in maternal health. As part of this research, we aim to conduct a usability study of an AI-driven postpartum depression risk assessment tool engaging healthcare providers - including doctors, nurses, and midwives - as participants. The usability study will assess healthcare provider's interactions and engagement with the web-based tool, measured by the System Explainability Scale (SES) Score, which quantifies its overarching Explainability, considering the dimensions of understandability, trust, and usability.
