User Experience

User experience (UX) research focuses on understanding and improving how people interact with systems, encompassing aspects like usability, satisfaction, and engagement. Current research emphasizes leveraging AI, particularly large language models (LLMs) and machine learning algorithms like random forests and reinforcement learning, to personalize interactions, automate UX analysis (e.g., through speech analysis and procedural content generation), and predict user responses. These advancements are significantly impacting various fields, from improving accessibility in therapeutic applications for children with ASD to optimizing the design of conversational AI systems and enhancing the efficiency of UX research itself.
