- Above class meets for the thirteen week session
- Above class meets with INFO-I 363
- Above class for HCI MS students only
Topic: Visual design
Visual design for the web is the process of creating the aesthetics and visual elements of a website or web application. It involves a variety of design principles such as layout, imagery, colors, typography, and user interface (UI) elements to construct a user-friendly and visually engaging online experience. Visual design is important because it directly affects how users perceive and interact with a website. Effective visual design enhancing user experience, usability, and accessibility. Designers need to consider factors like user behavior, cognitive psychology, and the goals of the website to create a design that not only looks good but also effectively communicates the intended message and provides a positive user experience. In this project-based introduction course, we will explore the principles of visual design through a series of lectures, readings, in-class activities, creative projects, and Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop training. Students will learn about color theory, grid systems, logo design, perception, balance, line, repetition, composition, branding and Gestalt principles, and apply these principles to screen-based user interfaces. Students will learn how to evaluate visual design, how to take better photographs, how to select content, how to edit and manipulate images, how to create basic geometric illustrations, and original digital designs. In the final project, students apply these collective skills and concepts to create a brand and web interface design. Learning Outcomes After this course, you will be able to: - Identify and apply visual components and design principles - Analyze a photograph based on both quality and appropriateness - Optimize and crop a photograph using Photoshop - Make informed photographic decisions to compose better images - Create illustrations within Adobe Illustrator using the pen tool and tracing techniques - Apply color theory and typographic principles to digital designs - Compose a visual design layout using a grid system or modular components - Sketch designs for interfaces, paying attention to the overall visual design and interface usability

- TOPIC: Curiosity
The course will focus on curiosity research, from a psychological perspective, computational models and applications in machine learning and robotics. During the course computational tools will be taught to help the students understand, design and implement computational models of curiosity: reinforcement learning, Markov decision processes, Bayesian inference, information theory and artificial neural networks. The course will also include applications of curiosity models to human behavior, data science and curious robots. The course will include programming in python (knowledge required) and a large programming project.

- TOPIC: Nonlinear Dynamics in Human Systems
Most of the systems investigated in the social, cognitive, and behavioral sciences are complex systems composed of numerous interacting components. Complex systems change over time, demonstrate coordinative patterns, and express nonlinear shifts in behavior. Nonlinear dynamical systems theory can shed light on complex human systems by describing and quantifying interactions between component parts, predicting patterns and trajectory, and diagnosing the health of a system, including its relative degree of adaptivity. This course provides an introductory overview to nonlinear dynamical modeling research techniques, which are especially well-suited for understanding temporal (i.e., time series) data. The first half of the course presents theory relevant to understanding complex systems, and the second half introduces nonlinear and dynamical analytic techniques such as entropy, fractal, recurrence, and wavelet, among others. This is a for graduate students informatics but may also benefit students from other disciplines, such as cognitive science and psychology. It is designed to support development of advanced theoretical understanding of human systems and modeling techniques that involve temporal data.
