Luz, Saturnino, Masoodian, Masood and Rogers, Bill (2008): Interactive visualisation techniques for dynamic speech transcription, correction and training. In: CHINZ08 - the ACM SIGCHI New Zealand Chapters International Conference on Computer-Human Interaction 2008. pp. 9-16. Available online

As performance gains in automatic speech recognition systems plateau, improvements to existing applications of speech recognition technology seem more likely to come from better user interface design than from further progress in core recognition components. Among all applications of speech recognition, the usability of systems for transcription of spontaneous speech is particularly sensitive to high word error rates. This paper presents a series of approaches to improving the usability of such applications. We propose new mechanisms for error correction, use of contextual information, and use of 3D visualisation techniques to improve user interaction with a recogniser and maximise the impact of user feedback. These proposals are illustrated through several prototypes which target tasks such as: off-line transcript editing, dynamic transcript editing, and real-time visualisation of recognition paths. An evaluation of our dynamic transcript editing system demonstrates the gains that can be made by adding the corrected words to the recogniser's dictionary and then propagating the user's corrections.

A set of user interface design techniques for computer-assisted speech transcription are presented and evaluated with respect to task performance and usability. These techniques include error-correction mechanisms which originated in dictation systems and audio editors as well as new techniques developed by us which exploit specific characteristics of existing speech recognition technologies in order to facilitate transcription in settings that typically yield considerable recognition inaccuracy, such as when the speech to be transcribed was produced by different speakers. In particular, we describe a mechanism for dynamic propagation of user feedback which progressively adapts the system to different speakers and lexical contexts. Results of usability and performance evaluation trials indicate that feedback propagation, menu-based correction coupled with keyboard interaction and text-driven audio playback are positively perceived by users and result in improved transcript accuracy.

Masoodian, Masood, McKoy, Sam and Rogers, Bill (2007): Hands-on sharing: collaborative document manipulation on a tabletop display using bare hands. In: Proceedings of CHINZ07, the ACM SIGCHI New Zealand Chapters International Conference on Computer-Human Interaction 1-4 July 2007, 2007, Hamilton, New Zealand. pp. 25-31. Available online

Working on electronic shared documents on a tabletop display is an effective form of collaborative work, which is likely to become a common practice in the future. A limiting factor in using tabletop displays at present, however, is their lack of support for multiple direct input by several users, or their reliance on expensive devices for supporting multiple user inputs. This paper describes a simple set of hardware and software solutions for creating a back-projection tabletop display with bare hand input mechanism to allow users to gesture at and select positions in a shared collaborative document. The system provides for a mixture of private and public workspaces for each collaborator.

Lang, Alexander and Masoodian, Masood (2007): Graphic designers' quest for the right music. In: Proceedings of CHINZ07, the ACM SIGCHI New Zealand Chapters International Conference on Computer-Human Interaction 1-4 July 2007, 2007, Hamilton, New Zealand. pp. 33-40. Available online

Graphic designers often need to find suitable pieces of music for their motion graphic designs, animations, etc. Existing music collection search tools and techniques are at best only suitable for ordinary users, and lack powerful mechanisms needed by advanced users such as graphic designers when they are searching for music. To be able to develop such search systems, however, we need to better understand how graphic designers in fact formulate and carry out their search for the right music. Unfortunately very little research has been done in this area. This paper describes a pilot study which was carried out to identify some of the strategies that graphic designers adopt when searching for the music they need. Although the study was rather limited in its scope, nevertheless, it sheds some light on the largely unknown process by which graphic designers search for music.

There is at present a dearth of information on the everyday image information behavior of ordinary people. Analysis of a set of 64 image-related searches provides insight into potentially useful facilities for an image digital library.

Dhawale, Pushkar, Masoodian, Masood and Rogers, Bill (2006): Bare-hand 3D gesture input to interactive systems. In: Proceedings of CHINZ06, the ACM SIGCHI New Zealand Chapters International Conference on Computer-Human Interaction 2006. pp. 25-32. Available online

Although the 2D desktop metaphor has been the dominating paradigm of user interfaces for over two decades, 3D models of interaction are becoming more feasible due to advances in computer output hardware and software technology. However, conventional input devices such as a mouse or track-pad generally restrict direct manipulation interaction to a 2D paradigm. More sophisticated 3D input devices such data-gloves have been available for some time, but these tend to be expensive or restrictive in their use. In this paper we describe a simple and inexpensive single camera-based video input system which allows 3D interaction with existing computer application using bare hands.

When people are looking for visual arts information-information related to images-how do they characterize their needs? We analyze a set of 404 queries to identify the attributes that people provide to the Google Answers 'ask an expert' online reference system. The results suggest directions to take in developing an effective organization and features for an image digital library.

Masoodian, Masood, Apperley, Mark and Frederickson, Lesley (1995): Video Support for Shared Work-Space Interaction: An Empirical Study. In Interacting with Computers, 7 (3) pp. 237-253

A study has been carried out to identify the effects of different human-to-human communication modes on dyadic computer supported group work. A pilot study evaluated an available shared work-space software system, supplemented by face-to-face, telephone-based, and text-based communication modes between the two users. The findings from this study were then used to design an extensive experiment to explore the relative impact of face-to-face, full-motion video, slow-motion video, and audio-only communication modes when used in conjunction with this type of CSCW system. This paper describes the experiments, and examines the findings of this empirical study with the aim of establishing the importance of co-presence in CSCW, and the effectiveness of these various communication modes in achieving it.
