ALLEN SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING COLLOQUIUM SPEAKER: Various Presenters, Allen School ICTD Research Group DATE: Thursday, October 1, 2020 TIME: 3:30 pm HOST: Kurtis Heimerl Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84511209436?pwd=eGg4bDBTS3hZZWZwU0wwVW1tcFhCZz09 Meeting ID: 845 1120 9436 Passcode: 806730 Title: Designing for users realities: Women’s technological inclusion and the Sociocultural Norms Presenter: Samia Ibtasam What prerequisites and enablers must we consider when designing for low-resourced users, especially women? Even for a technology advantaged population, the meaning and dynamics of access and use are nuanced and varied. Gendered roles, generational differences in a family, household dynamics, and the wider socio-cultural influences can impact women's technological engagement. In this talk, I will discuss how the consideration of these factors during the design and implementation processes can broaden accessibility and diversity in the acceptance and use of evolving technologies by women in emerging economies. Bio: Advised by Richard Anderson, her current work focuses on devising tools and frameworks to increase the technological and financial inclusion of women in emerging markets. Before UW, Ibtasam was the founding co-director of Innovations for Poverty Alleviation Lab (IPAL) at the Information Technology University (ITU) and taught Design Thinking, Human-Centered Design, and product development courses to undergraduate and graduate CS students. Title: Accept the Risk and Continue: Measuring the Long Tail of Government https Adoption Presenter: Sudheesh Singanamalla Across the world, government websites are expected to be reliable sources of information, regardless of their view count. Interactions with these websites often contain sensitive information, such as identity, medical, or legal data, whose integrity must be protected for citizens to remain safe. To better understand the government website ecosystem, we measure the adoption of https including the "long tail" of government websites around the world, which are typically not captured in the top-million datasets used for such studies. We identify and measure major categories and frequencies of https adoption errors, including misconfiguration of certificates via expiration, reuse of keys and serial numbers between unrelated government departments (and sometimes even different country governments), use of insecure cryptographic protocols and keys, and untrustworthy root Certificate Authorities (CAs). Finally, we observe an overall lower https rate and a steeper dropoff with descending popularity among government sites versus commercial and provide recommendations to improve government https use. In this talk, we will present our findings, discuss challenges and impact of this work. Bio: Sudheesh is a 2nd year PhD student in the ICTD lab advised by Prof. Kurtis Heimerl and Prof. Richard Anderson and broadly works at the intersection of Systems, Networks, Security and ICTD. Title: Making Chat at Home in the Hospital: Exploring Chat Use by Nurses Presenter: Naveena Karusala We examine WhatsApp use by nurses in India. Globally, personal chat apps have taken the workplace by storm, and healthcare is no exception. In the hospital setting, this raises questions around how chat apps are integrated into hospital work and the consequences of using such personal tools for work. To address these questions, we conducted an ethnographic study of chat use in nursesâ€™ work in a large multi-specialty hospital. By examining how chat is embedded in the hospital, rather than focusing on individual use of personal tools, we throw new light on the adoption of personal tools at work - specifically what happens when such tools are adopted and used as though they were organizational tools. In doing so, we explicate their impact on invisible work and the creep of work into personal time, as well as how hierarchy and power play out in technology use. Thus, we point to the importance of looking beyond individual adoption by knowledge workers when studying the impact of personal tools at work. Bio: Naveena Karusala is a 4th year PhD student in the ICTD lab, advised by Richard Anderson. Her work is at the intersection of HCI, global development, and health messaging. Title: Can Phones Build Relationships? A Case Study of a Kenyan Wildlife Conservancy’s Community Development Presenter: Matt Ziegler Wildlife conservancies across the globe are increasingly recognizing their need to support their surrounding communities to sustainably operate. Rapidly shifting environmental and sociopolitical climates increasingly stress existing resource and service provisions, forcing wildlife conservancies to co-manage with local communities shared resources like water, wildlife, soil, pollinators, and security. This work presents a case study in Laikipia, Kenya on Ol Pejeta Conservancy’s use of text-based technologies to provide services and build relationships with the many widely-dispersed communities on its borders. Through technology deployments, staff interviews, and community focus groups, we investigate a potential role for basic mobile phone services, like SMS and USSD, to help conservancy personnel disseminate accurate and timely information, gather community feedback, address grievances, and improve accountability. Our findings show that communication with locals requires intense and ongoing effort from conservancy staff. Partially successful deployments of phone services provide a proof-of-concept for their utility in community relations but highlight particular design challenges for wildlife conservancies; having critical needs for broad inclusive engagement; clear, deliberate communication; and careful trust-building. Bio: Matt is a 3rd year PhD student in the ICTD lab, working on technologies for wildlife conservation and environmental justice. *NOTE* This talk will be broadcast live via the Internet.

X4D#3: Technology-Mediated Mental Health Support (October 7, 9.30am-11am US EDT)
by Neha Kumar 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

Hi all, We invite you to the third session of our "X4D" virtual speaker series <https://sites.google.com/view/x4d/home>on *October 7th.* Our speakers include the following: *Dr. Munmun De Choudhury, *School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Tech, USA *Title: Interdisciplinary and Collaborative Approaches to Digital Mental Health: A Tale of Engaging with Three Stakeholders* Digital traces, such as social media data, supported with advances in the computer science field, are increasingly being used to understand the mental health of individuals and populations. With these approaches offering promise to change the status quo in mental health for the first time since mid-20th century, interdisciplinary collaborations have been greatly emphasized. But what are some models of engagement for computer scientists that augment existing capabilities while minimizing the risk of harm? This talk will describe the experiences from working with three different stakeholders in projects relating to digital mental health–first with a governmental organization, second with healthcare providers, and third with a non-profit, all in the United States. The talk hopes to present some lessons learned by way of these engagements, and to reflect on approaches we need to realize a dream of many computer scientists: how to have their research contribute to positive societal impacts. *Dr. Becky Inkster, *Department of Psychiatry, Cambridge University; Finance & Economics Programme, The Alan Turing Institute; Self-Employed Neuroscientist & Digital Mental Health Advisor, UK *Title: Rhymes Equal Actual Life in the Youth*: Connecting Mental Health Support with Hip-Hop Culture* It is essential that we build digital mental health tools that are engaging and sensitive to both culture and context. In this talk, I will explore how hip-hop music and culture can be combined in a powerful way with human-centred algorithmic solutions, computational creativity and music therapy in order to support mental health and wellbeing. I am a Co-Founder of Lyrical Kombat and Hip Hop Psych, and will illustrate examples based on these initiatives. *lyrics by KRS-ONE *Dr. John Naslund,* Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA *Title: Design, Development, and Evaluation of a Digital Training Program for Building Capacity of Frontline Health Workers and Scaling Up Depression Care in Rural India* Mental disorders are a leading cause of disability worldwide; yet, in most countries, individuals living with mental disorders are more likely to have access to a mobile phone than basic mental health care. The increasing reach and availability of digital technologies in low-income and middle-income countries, such as smartphones and mobile Internet, present new opportunities to support task sharing through training and supporting community health workers in treating mental disorders. In this presentation, my objective is to describe the development and design of a digital program for training community health workers as part of a broader effort to scale up task sharing of a brief psychological treatment for depression in primary care settings in rural India. Specifically, I will describe efforts to involve community health workers throughout the iterative development and user testing of a digital training program accessible from a smartphone app, as well as the initial findings from a randomized controlled pilot study conducted in one district of Madhya Pradesh. I will discuss next steps and implications of leveraging emerging digital technologies for task sharing and bridging the global care gap for mental disorder. *Dr. Maryam Mustafa, *School of Science and Engineering, LUMS, Pakistan *Title: Designing Digital Safe Spaces For Peer Support and Connectivity in Patriarchal Contexts*There is a deep stigma and taboo attached to mental health disorders and care in countries like Pakistan. Most people have little to no access to mental health support and women are particularly susceptible in patriarchal contexts like Pakistan. In this talk , I will explore the opportunities and challenges in designing peer-support and mental health mechanisms for low-income, low-literate women in Pakistan, a patriarchal and religious context where women’s movements, social relations and access to digital technologies are restricted. This is a context where shame and fear of defamation restrict the seeking of support for personal narratives around taboo subjects like abortion, sexual harassment, rape and domestic abuse. I will also discuss our findings from our participatory workshops in exploring the design of peer-support technologies for support seeking with low-income, low-literate women. *When: *October 7 | 9.30am-11am US EDT (1.30pm-3pm UTC) *Where:* https://ucl.zoom.us/j/95338644599 And please join our X4D-friends Google group <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/x4d-friends> if you'd like to stay informed of future sessions! Warmly, X4D Organizers

Pls forward: DevEng Journal looking for in-depth reviewers for LMIC manuscripts
by Matt Podolsky 31 Aug '20

31 Aug '20

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Carson Christiano <christiano(a)berkeley.edu> Date: Mon, Aug 31, 2020 at 9:35 AM Subject: Pls forward: DevEng Journal looking for in-depth reviewers for LMIC manuscripts Dear colleagues, The *Development Engineering* journal, run out of the Development Impact Lab (DIL) at UC Berkeley, is interested in boosting publications from low- and middle-income country (LMIC) authors by offering in-depth feedback on promising manuscripts. Right now, we are seeking an *engineering researcher with publication experience** to provide in-depth review to an author from Nigeria*, for a paper entitled "An Assessment of the Relative Importance of the Project Management Practices for the Construction Industry in a Developing Country: the Case of the Nigerian Construction Industry." As a reviewer, you will be asked to read the selected manuscript (abstract below) along with DevEng editorial board comments, and provide clear suggestions to the author regarding how she or he can strengthen their chances of publication. We anticipate that the engagement will involve 2-3 rounds of feedback, and possibly a Zoom call to clarify what is meant by the feedback. We are currently able to offer a modest incentive to reviewers in the form of a $500 gift card. *This study assessed the relative importance of the project management practices of construction companies in a developing country using Nigeria as a case study. Quantitative survey research approach was adopted for the study with questionnaire as the primary instrument for data collection. Ten registered indigenous construction companies in Nigeria were selected using random sampling and a total of 250 project management professionals comprising of civil and structural engineers, architects, quantity surveyors and mechanical and electrical engineers were chosen to respond to the level of importance of 53 project management practices selected from 9 project management areas for data collection. A total of 221 valid responses were received from the respondents and the data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics in SPSS and the relative importance index was calculated in Microsoft Excel. The result of the data analysis indicated that only 22% of the respondents have at least a certification in project management which implies a poor level of skillfulness in the utilization of project management tools, methods and techniques in managing their projects. The result also indicated that the respondents agreed that the utilization of project management practices enhance project management as indicated by the above average value of their relative importance. However, it was found out that there was poor utilization of the tools relating to budget management as indicated by the below average value of the relative importance index.* If you are interested in working with this author, please contact Samuel Fishman at sfishman(a)berkeley.edu, with a sentence or two regarding your qualifications (current status and affiliation, relevant research and publication experience, interest in working with LMIC scholars). Thank you for considering.

Volunteer Request - COVID-19 outbreak visualization
by Richard Anderson 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

There is a volunteer opportunity for helping the COVID-19 response. In order to help systematically investigate and respond to localized outbreaks, a tool for visualizing these transmission clusters is needed. This work would involve programming and ideally experience with data visualization. You would work with epidemiologists involved in current outbreak responses. Right now clusters are being plotted manually but an automated tool could speed up their processes and improve quality. To get a sense of what the desired output looks like, see Fig 1c of https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.18.20034561v1.full.pdf or Fig 1 of https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(20)30273-5/… Ideally the output would be in a format, like powerpoint, that could be further edited by the epidemiologists. The level of work is hard to predict because it depends in part on what related software already exists, e.g. for phylogenetic trees, and how easy this is to adapt. A first version of a tool would ideally be usable within 1-2 weeks. For more information, please contact Aram Harrow <aram(a)mit.edu<mailto:aram@mit.edu>>.

Final call for submissions: Data4Good Workshop at ACM AVI 2020 (Deadline: July 31)
by Neha Kumar 29 Jul '20

29 Jul '20

If you care about data and ICTD/HCI4D, we invite you to submit to this workshop. Deadline is this Friday the 31st! The workshop will be online (if there was any doubt). Regards, Luigi, Neha, & Akhil ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Akhil Mathur <akhilmathurs(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jul 17, 2020 at 3:14 PM Subject: 2nd Call for Papers: Data4Good Workshop at ACM AVI 2020 [Submission deadline: July 28] To: Luigi De Russis <luigi.derussis(a)polito.it>, Neha Kumar < nehakumar(a)gmail.com> ACM AVI 2020 Workshop Data4Good: Designing for Diversity and Development https://sites.google.com/view/data4good/home September 28th, 2020 Island of Ischia, Italy ***Remote attendance will be facilitated*** OVERVIEW As smartphone penetration continues to expand throughout the Global South, and various "AI for/and Social Good" efforts prepare to dominate technology trends in such parts, challenges related to the robustness and utility of data infrastructures become increasingly pressing. For data to be meaningful, they must be collected, stored, understood, analyzed, and visualized, all from a holistic and contextually appropriate perspective. There are challenges encountered in each of these stages, however, given the cultural, technological, and/or infrastructural specificities of multilingually diverse and resource-constrained parts of the Global South. This is also increasingly true for many diverse regions in the North. Across domains of global development such as global health, education, and agriculture, among others, all prominent focus areas for AI for Social Good efforts in the Global South, the data burden is borne by low-literate workers from socioculturally and economically diverse backgrounds. Low digital expertise and different vantage points mean that these workers lack the kind of data literacies required of them by their employers. Although AI for Social Good as well as Machine Learning for Development (ML4D) conversations are rapidly unfolding in computing venues such as NeurIPS and International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR), they may benefit from taking a more human-centered approach towards the design, deployment, and evaluation of AI-based technologies in global development contexts. These are the important conversations that our workshop seeks to advance. DATES July 31st: Submission deadline August 6th: Notification of acceptance August 21st: Camera-readies and registration due September 28th: Half-day workshop September 28th-October 2nd: AVI 2020 (main conference) CONTRIBUTIONS We invite researchers and practitioners in the interdisciplinary domains intersecting HCI, AI, ML, design, and global development to engage in dialog around how a human-centered design perspective might be suitably factored into the technological advancements being researched in upcoming AI- and ML-focused work. We solicit participation across members of the HCI research community who are motivated to address the following topics: Interfaces and Visualization - Novel Interfaces for Deriving Qualitative/Quantitative Insights from Data - Interfaces to support data literacy among Multilingual users - Information Visualization Tools and Techniques for Data Literacy - Data Literacy for End-Users in the Global South Data Infrastructures for Social Good - Data Collection and Field Research - Data Quality - Data Sharing - Privacy and Transparency in Data Analytics User-Centered AI - Interfaces for Explainable AI - User-centered Evaluations Techniques and Methods for AI-based Technologies in the Global South - Study of Public Concerns with AI technologies Data Literacy in Specific Application Areas, such as: - Public/Global Health - Education - Agriculture - Refugee Resettlement PARTICIPATION We invite submissions of position papers in the CHI Extended Abstracts format, 2-4 pages in length. PDFs of submissions can be emailed to Luigi De Russis at luigi.derussis(a)polito.it. These will be reviewed by all organizers based on relevance, originality, and overall quality. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to participate in our workshop. All workshop participants (including non-authors) are required by the conference to register for the workshop (not necessarily for the conference). We do plan to facilitate remote attendance. OUTCOMES Accepted and presented papers will be made available on CEUR Workshop Proceedings, while workshop results will be published on our website. Notifications will be mailed to the authors within 15 days of receipt (and no later than the dates reported above). Workshop results will be summarized and submitted as an article or blog post in Interactions or Communications of the ACM.

CfP for ACM AVI 2020 Workshop: "Data4Good: Designing for Diversity and Development"
by Neha Kumar 07 Jun '20

07 Jun '20

*2nd CALL FOR PARTICIPATIONACM AVI 2020 Workshop* *Data4Good: Designing for Diversity and Development*https://sites.google.com/view/data4good/home September 28th-October 2nd Island of Ischia, Italy ***Remote attendance will be facilitated*** OVERVIEW Even as computing makes transformative advancements in data-driven sub-disciplines such as AI and ML, and we witness unprecedented datafication of the society we live in, there is also growing awareness that emergent applications are systematically discriminating against many populations. A major driver of the bias is data, or the lack thereof. As long as the data are drawn using methods that align with a Western, universalist approach, gender, ethnic, racial, and cultural biases are likely to persist. Zou and Schiebinger (2018) have noted that over 45% of Imagenet data, which computer vision research draws from significantly, comes from the United States (US), where only 4% of the world's population resides. India and China together contribute only 3% of Imagenet data, while representing 36% of the world's population. The result is that a photograph of a traditional US bride is annotated accurately, while a photograph of a North Indian bride is recognized as 'performance art' and 'costume'. Given this lack of representation in data, problems related to the robustness and representativeness of data infrastructures become more pressing. For data to be meaningful, they must be collected, stored, understood, analysed, and visualised, all from a holistic and contextually appropriate perspective. There may be challenges encountered in each of these stages; these challenges are exacerbated when we consider the cultural, technological, and/or infrastructural specificities of multilingually diverse and resource-constrained regions across the world. This is true for parts of the Global North as well as the Global South. In many application domains such as global health, education, gender equality, agriculture, and others, the data burden is borne by workers from socioculturally and economically diverse backgrounds. Low digital expertise and different vantage points can mean that these workers lack the kind of data literacies required of them by their employers. Data-driven approaches can benefit from integration of a more human-centered orientation before being used to inform the design, deployment, and evaluation of technologies in various less-served contexts. These are some of the important conversations that our workshop seeks to advance. CONTRIBUTIONS We invite researchers and practitioners in interdisciplinary domains intersecting HCI, AI, ML, design, STS, and/or global development to engage in dialog on the topics above. A key priority of our workshop will be to invite submissions from an intellectually diverse and global group of participants to further discussions on how appropriate human-centered design can contribute to addressing data-related challenges among marginalised and under-represented/underserved groups around the world. In particular, we solicit participation across more and less technical researchers in HCI who are motivated to address the list of topics below, including but not limited to: *Interfaces and visualization:* - Novel interfaces for deriving qualitative/quantitative insights from data - Interfaces to support data literacy in multilingual contexts - Information visualization tools and techniques for data literacy - Data literacy for end-users in under-resourced contexts *Data infrastructures for social good:* - Data collection and field research - Data quality - Data sharing - Privacy and transparency in data analytics *Human-centered design of data-driven approaches:* - Interfaces for explainable AI - User-centered evaluations, techniques, and methods for AI and social good - Study of public concerns with AI-based technologies *Data work in specific application areas, such as:* - Public/global health - Education - Agriculture - Gender equality - Refugee resettlement - and more. PARTICIPATION We invite submissions of position papers in the CHI Extended Abstracts format, 2-4 pages in length.
