It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2014 International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI'14). It is the nineteenth IUI conference, continuing its tradition of being the principal international forum for reporting outstanding research at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The work that appears at IUI bridges these two fields and also delves into related fields, such as psychology, cognitive science, computer graphics, the arts, and many others. Members of the IUI community are interested in improving the symbiosis between humans and computers, and in making systems adapt to humans rather then the other way round.
The call for papers attracted 191 submissions from Asia, America Europe, Africa, and Australia. The program committee accepted 46 papers, covering a diverse set of topics, reflected in the session titles "From Touch through Air to Brain" "Learning and Skills", "Intelligent Visual Interaction", "Users and Motion", "Leveraging Social Competencies", "Adaptive User Interfaces" and a special session with papers that honor the memory of John Riedl, who left us too early. A great attraction of the conference is provided by the scientific keynotes: Professor Wolfgang Wahlster opens the conference program with a keynote on "Multiadaptive Interfaces to Cyber-Physical Environments", Professor Noam Tractinsky's second day keynote is on "Visual Aesthetics of Interactive Technologies" and the last day keynote, by Professor Mark Billinghurst is on "Using AR to Create Empathic Experiences". In addition we are pleased to offer an invited talk by a relevant industry speaker, Yanki Margalit: "Startup nation and the Makers revolution. Intelligent user interfaces and the future of the Israeli hi-tech". We also have 11 posters and an excellent demonstration program consisting of 27 demos. In addition, the conference provides four very interesting workshops and a student consortium.

Many small and mid-sized e-businesses wish to integrate a recommender system into their website. Integrating an existing recommender system to a website often requires certain expertise and programming efforts, thus incurs substantial investments and may ...
Microcosm: visual discovery, exploration and analysis of social communities
Social communities play an important role in many domains. While a lot of attention has been given to developing efficient methods for detecting and analyzing social communities, it still remains a great challenge to provide intuitive search interfaces ...
Enhancing understanding of safety aspects in embedded systems through an interactive visual tool
In this work, we present a demonstration of a visual interactive tool called ESSAVis that helps different engineers in collaborating together for understanding the failure mechanisms in complex embedded systems. ESSAVis provides a 2Dplus3D visual user ...
Multi-finger AR typing interface for mobile devices
In this paper, we propose a user interface that enables multi-finger typing in the space behind a mobile device. By using the augmented reality (AR) technology, a virtual keyboard is superimposed on the rear camera image, and a hand region of the camera ...
See-through mobile AR system for natural 3D interaction
In this paper, we propose an interaction system which displays see-through images on the mobile display and that allows a user to interact with virtual objects overlaid on the see-through image using the user's hand. In this system, the camera which ...
Mobile personal healthcare mediated by virtual humans
We demonstrate Ally -- a prototype interface for a consumer-level medical diagnostic device. It is an interactive virtual character, -- Virtual Human (VH), -- that listens to user's concern, collects and processes sensor data, offers advice, guides the ...
Creative user centric inspirational search
The demo paper describes the Creative User Centric Inspirational Search, which aims to leverage user inspiration in information seeking activities. CRUISE is an interactive exploratory search tool that combines diversification of content and sources with ...
Demo: making plans scrutable with argumentation and natural language generation
Autonomous systems perform tasks without human guidance. Techniques for making autonomous systems scrutable and, hence, more transparent are required in order to support humans working with such systems. The Scrutable Autonomous Systems (SAsSy) demo ...
A facial affect mapping engine
Facial expressions play a crucial role in human interaction. Interactive digital games can help teaching people to both express and recognise them. Such interactive games can benefit from the ability to alter user expressions dynamically and in real-...
Visualizing sentiment: do you see what i mean?
Many tools exist for extracting and visualizing key information from a corpus of text documents. However often, one would like to assess the sentiment and feelings that arise from a single document. This paper describes an interactive service that ...
SUBVERTISER: mocking ads through mobile phones
As advertisements on posters in the street get more and more aggressive, our basic cognitive defense -aimed at not perceiving those messages- is not enough. One advanced defensive technique is based on transforming the perceived message into something ...
SmartObjects: third workshop on interacting with smart objects
The increasing number of smart objects in our everyday life shapes how we interact beyond the desktop. In this workshop we discuss how interaction with these smart objects should be designed from various perspectives. \
Personalized access to cultural heritage (PATCH2014): the future of experiencing cultural heritage
Since 2007, the PATCH workshop series have been gathering successfully researchers and professionals from various countries and institutions to discuss the topics of digital access to cultural heritage and specifically the personalization aspects in this ...
IDGEI 2014: 2nd international workshop on intelligent digital games for empowerment and inclusion
Digital Games for Empowerment and Inclusion have the potential to improve our society by preparing particular groups of people to meet social challenges in their everyday lives, and to do so in an enjoyable way through games. These games are developing ...
Sketch: pen and touch recognition
Sketch recognition has technically been around for 40 years, but it has come and gone several times due to the difficulty of the problem. With the rise of touch and pen enabled phones and tablets, sketch recognition is regaining popularity and public ...
Developing sketch recognition and interaction techniques for intelligent surfaceless sketching user interfaces
As commercial motion-tracking sensors achieve greater reliability and ubiquity, intelligent sketching user interfaces can expand beyond traditional surface environments for richer surfaceless sketching interactions. However, relevant techniques for ...
Toward emotion regulation via physical interaction
Emotions can be regulated to fit a task in order to enhance task performance. Motor expressions can help regulate emotion. This paper briefly reports ongoing work on the design of physical interactions based on motor expressions that can help regulate ...
Exploratory search interfaces: blending relevance, diversity, relationships and categories
Exploratory search of scientific literature plays an essential part of a researcher's work. Efforts to provide interfaces supporting this task accomplished significant progress, but the field is open for further evolution. In this paper I present four ...
Socially-aware interfaces for supporting co-located interaction
Ambient intelligence refers to a vision of technology where physical environments are sensitive and responsive to people. One of the challenges to realize this vision is to leverage information available in the social context. My doctoral research ...
Recognition of student intentions in a virtual reality training environment
This paper introduces a novel method for detecting and modeling intentions of students performing training tasks in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment enhanced with intelligent tutoring capabilities. Our VR-setup provides students with an immersive user ...
Silent speech decoder using adaptive collection
We investigated a classification method using brain computer interfaces (BCIs) for silent speech. Event-related potentials (ERPs) obtained when four subjects imagined the vocalization of two Japanese vowels while they remained silent and immobilized were ...
A non-command interface for automatic document provision during meetings
This research presents the concept of a non-command interface for a smart room to automatically detect when people talk about a document and whether it is present or not, as a fundamental prerequisite for missing document provision that doesn't require ...
