Mobile Human Contributions: Opportunities and Challenges
This UbiComp 2018 workshop aims to share insights, ideas, and discoveries on the quality of mobile human contributions. We explore methods, tools, and novel approaches towards increasing the reliability of human data submissions with mobile devices. The workshop organisers hope to foster collaboration and share ideas to inform the next steps forward on this increasingly relevant but underexplored research agenda.
UbiComp/HCI researchers are increasingly using smartphones and other mobile devices to collect human- labelled data ‘in the wild’. While this allows for collecting a wide range of interesting data in authentic settings and surroundings, humans are notoriously inconsistent in the quality of their contributions. Despite the fact that research findings rely on the underlying quality of the participants’ contributions, the accuracy of human labelled submission through mobile data collection remains a surprisingly underexplored area. In this workshop, we raise the question: “How to increase data accuracy in mobile studies?” This could be either prior, during, or following data collection. MHC’18 aims to contribute to a better understanding of human accuracy in mobile data collection, and thus provides not only a set of real-world examples how data quality can be improved but also a useful methodological contribution to the field of ubiquitous computing.
