DESCRIPTION:By: Amy Pavel - Carnegie Mellon University\nIC Faculty candida
 te\n\nAbstract\nVideo is becoming a core medium for communicating a wide r
 ange of content\, including educational lectures\, vlogs\, and how-to tuto
 rials. While videos are engaging and informative\, they lack the familiar 
 and useful affordances of text for browsing\, skimming\,and flexibly trans
 forming information. This severely limits who can interact with video cont
 ent and how they can interact with it\, makes editing a laborious process\
 , and means that much of the information in videos is not accessible to ev
 eryone.\n\nBut\, what future systems will make videos useful for all users
 ?\n\nIn this talk\, I’ll share my work creating interactive Human-AI sys
 tems that leverage multiple mediums of communication (e.g.\, text\, video\
 , and audio) across two main research areas: 1) helping domain-experts sur
 face content of interest through interactive video abstractions\, and 2) m
 aking videos non-visually accessible through interactions for video access
 ibility. First\, I will discuss core challenges of seeking information in 
 videos from interviews with domain experts. Then\, I will present new inte
 ractive systems that leverage AI\, and evaluations that demonstrate system
  efficacy. I will conclude with how hybrid HCI-AI breakthroughs will make 
 digital communication more effective and accessible in the future\, and ho
 w new interactions can help us to realize the full potential of recent AI/
 ML advances.\n\nBio\nAmy Pavel is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Carnegie Mellon
  University and a Research Scientist in AI/ML at Apple. Her research explo
 res AI-driven interactive techniques for making digital communication effe
 ctive and accessible for all. Her work creating Human-AI systems to improv
 e communication has appeared at top ACM/IEEE conferences including UIST\, 
 CHI\, ASSETS\, and VR. She recently served as an associate chair for the U
 IST and CHI program committees and was selected as a Rising Star in EECS. 
 She previously received her Ph.D. in Computer Science at UC Berkeley\, whe
 re her work developing interactive video abstractions was supported by an 
 NDSEG fellowship.\n\nMore information
