Abstract: AI models have the potential to support and complement human decision-makers and users. And yet, the deployment of human-AI teams still faces practical challenges. I’m interested in developing a more principled workflow for building human-AI teams. In particular, this talk will focus on answering two questions: (1) what the right evaluation paradigms are to measure team performance, and (2) what are interaction mechanisms that can facilitate the appropriate usage of AI support. I will discuss how existing ML/NLP literature has attempted to answer each of these questions, their limitations, and promising alternatives.
