Human-Like Computing and Human-Computer Interaction

Intelligent interfaces have moved into the mainstream, but often using black-box algorithms that even the developers, let alone the users can understand. Human-like computing is about making algorithms closer to the way humans' think in order to improve the algorithms and/or improve the experience for the user. This paper discusses issues raised during a recent EPSRC workshop in the UK and explores the implications for HCI and smart environments.
