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.

Stroboscopic Vision and ACL Reconstruction

The UNC MOTION Science Institute is seeking volunteers with a history of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery and healthy controls for a research study on the effects of stroboscopic vision on walking gait biomechanics, and how the somatosensory function may influence these changes. Individuals who have injured their ACLs are at a high risk of developing post-traumatic osteoarthritis, in part due to altered gait biomechanics. Stroboscopic vision has been shown to alter biomechanics in other tasks and populations, but its effects on walking biomechanics following ACL reconstruction is unknown.
