131 - Opportunities and Barriers between HCI and NLP, with Nanna Inie and Leon Derczynski
What can NLP researchers learn from Human Computer Interaction (HCI) research? We chatted with Nanna Inie and Leon Derczynski to find out. We discussed HCI's research processes including methods of inquiry, the data annotation processes used in HCI, and how they are different from NLP, and the cognitive methods used in HCI for qualitative error analyses. We also briefly talked about the opportunities the field of HCI presents for NLP researchers.\n\nThis discussion is based on the following paper: https://aclanthology.org/2021.hcinlp-1.16/\n\nNanna Inie is a postdoctoral researcher and Leon Derczynski is an associate professor in CS at the IT University of Copenhagen.\n\nThe hosts for this episode are Ana Marasovi\u0107 and Pradeep Dasigi.
