Abstract: At the Human-AI Interaction group at the University of British Columbia, we investigate how to support Human-AI collaboration via AI artifacts that can understand relevant properties of their users (e.g., states, skills, needs) and personalize the interaction accordingly in a manner that preserves transparency, user control and trust. In this talk, I will illustrate examples of our research in AI-driven personalization spanning areas such as Intelligent Tutoring Systems, User Adaptive Visualizations and Explainable AI.
