The authors of this paper aim to demonstrate the capabilities of various interactive systems that build on the complementary strengths of humans and AI systems. These systems aim to promote human control and skillful action. The interactive systems that the authors have developed span three areas \u2013 data wrangling, exploratory analysis, and natural language translation. In the Data Wrangling project, the authors demonstrate a means that enabled users to create data-transformation scripts within a direct manipulation interface that was augmented by the use of predictive models. While covering the area of exploratory analysis, the authors developed an interactive system \u2018Voyager\u2019 that helps analysts engage in open-ended exploration as well as targeted question answering by blending manual and automated chart specification. As part of the predictive translation memory (PTM) project, that aimed to blend the automation capabilities of machines with rote tasks and the nuanced translation guidance that can be provided by humans. Through these projects, the authors found that there exist various trade-offs in the design of such systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The authors mention that users\n\u2018may come to overly rely on computational suggestions\u2019 and this statement\nreminded me of the paper on \u2018Interpreting Interpretability: Understanding Data\nScientists\u2019 Use of Interpretability Tools for Machine Learning\u2019 wherein the\nauthors discovered that the data scientists used as part of the study\nover-trusted the interpretability tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thought that the use of\nvisualizations as part of the Data Wrangling project was a good idea since\nhumans often work well with visualizations and that this can speed up the task\nat hand. As part of previous coursework, my professor had conducted a small experiment\nin class wherein he made us identify a red dot among multiple blue dots and\nthen identify a piece of text in a table. As expected, we were able to identify\nthe red dot much quicker \u2013 attesting to the fact that visual aids often help\nhumans to work faster. The interface of the \u2018Voyager\u2019 system reminded me of the\ninterface of the \u2018Tableau\u2019 data visualization software. I found that, in the\ncase of the predictive translation memory (PTM) project, it was interesting\nthat the authors mention the trade-off between customers wanting translators\nthat have more consistent results versus human translators that experienced a\n\u2018short-circuiting\u2019 of thought with the use of the PTM tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
