  • Title: Playing with Data and Noise
  • Speaker: Koji Yatani (Microsoft Research Asia)

Abstract: We are surrounded by data. As sensors can be embedded in various small form-factor devices, the system can collect the data about users and environment from these sensors constantly. Text data on the Web can contain information that could be useful for the user. Although these data can be huge and are usually noisy, we can discover interesting approaches which lead to new interfaces and applications by looking at the data from different perspectives. In this talk, I present three demonstrations of exploiting data and noise using wearable sensors and online text data. I then discuss how they have helped me broaden my research agenda. I also briefly introduce my HCI group and internship program at MSRA.

Bio: Dr. Koji Yatani ( http://yatani.jp ) is an associate researcher in Human-Computer Interaction Group at Microsoft Research Asia. His main research interests lie in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and its intersections with Ubiquitous Computing and Computational Linguistics. More specifically, he is interested in designing new forms of interacting with mobile devices, and developing new hardware and sensing technologies to support user interactions in mobile/ubiquitous computing environments. He is also interested in developing interactive systems and exploring new applications using computational linguistics methods.

He received B.Eng. and M.Sci. from University of Tokyo in 2003 and 2005, respectively, and his Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Toronto in 2011. On November 2011, he joined HCI group at Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing. He was a recipient of NTT Docomo Scholarship (October 2003 -- March 2005), and Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Research Fellowship for Young Scientists (April 2005 -- March 2006). He received the Best Paper Award at CHI 2011. He served as a program committee on CHI 2013, Ubicomp 2012, and WHC 2013. He also served as a Mentoring co-chair on ITS 2012.
