The following people make up the User Centric Data Science group
Jacco leads the User-centric Data Science research group. His research interests include assessment of data quality in large, heterogeneous research datasets in the digital humanities, large scale web data integration and linking in cultural heritage and other data rich domains.
Emma is an assistant professor of ethical computing at VU. With her multidisciplinary experience, she has been researching computational methods, statistics, user interfaces and data visualizations that enable transparent and controllable AI systems. Modelling and visualizing AI errors is one of her main research topics.
I am an Associate Professor in the domains of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and human-robot interaction (HRI). In my research, I use wearable sensors and AI models to deliver personalized interaction with technology, particularly for the purpose of adaptive training and learning.
I am associate professor (UHD) of User-Centrid Data Science in the UCDS group and senior research fellow at Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. I am also co-director of the Cultural AI lab. I am interested in user-centric approaches to Knowledge Representation to tackle research challenges in Cultural Heritage, Digital Humanities and ICT for Development (ICT4D).
Yung-Ting is the coordinator of the VU-UTwente joint research program Creating Smart Societies, facilitating the collaborations and new research lines formed between the two universities. She also works as a postdoc researcher at the Sociology department at VU, investigating children and adolescents’ attitudes towards diversity in different contexts, such as in school and VR museum.
Andrei is a PhD-student at Human-Centered Data Analytics group and a member of the Cultural AI Lab. He investigates how to bring out multiple perspectives about digital cultural heritage objects and represent them in transparent narrative forms with semantic web technologies and machine learning.
