Computational Interaction: Theory and Practice
Authors
This course introduces computational methods in human--computer interaction. Computational interaction methods use computational thinking -- abstraction, automation, and analysis -- to explain and enhance interaction. This course introduces optimization and probabilistic inference as principled methods. Lectures center on hands-on Python programming, interleaving theory and practical examples.
