(Mis)Measuring people's attitudes from social media
Activities of people, recorded via digital devices or online environments, offer increasingly comprehensive pictures of both individual and group-level behavior, potentially allowing inferences within and outside the platforms.

(Non-)Interacting with conversational agents: Perceptions and motivations of using chatbots and voice assistants
Conversational agents (CAs) such as Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant are increasingly penetrating everyday life. From a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) perspective, designing CAs that appropriately support the way they are used within daily life is still challenging. While initial design guidelines for human-AI inter...
