Digitally-supported participatory methods are often used in policy-making to develop inclusive policies by collecting and integrating citizen's opinions. However, these methods fail to capture the complexity and nuances in citizen's needs, i.e., citizens are generally unaware of other's needs, perspectives, and experiences. Consequently, policies developed with this underlying gap tend to overlook the alignment of … Continue reading Policy Sandboxing: Empathy As An Enabler Towards Inclusive Policy-Making

The Role of Human Knowledge in Explainable AI
We published a review article that aims to present a literature overview on collecting and employing human knowledge to improve and evaluate the understandability of machine learning models through human-in-the-loop approaches.
EXP-Crowd: Gamified Crowdsourcing for AI Explainability
The spread of AI and black-box machine learning models makes it necessary to explain their behavior. Consequently, the research field of Explainable AI was born. The main objective of an Explainable AI system is to be understood by a human as the final beneficiary of the model. In our research we just published on Frontiers … Continue reading EXP-Crowd: Gamified Crowdsourcing for AI Explainability
Using Crowdsourcing for Domain-Specific Languages Specification
Improving the quality of the language notation may improve dramatically acceptance and adoption, as well as the way people use your notation and the associated tools. Here is a systematic (and automatic) method for creating crowdsourcing campaigns aimed at refining the graphical notation of domain-specific languages.

Community-based Crowdsourcing – Our paper at WWW2014 SOCM
Today Andrea Mauri presented our paper "Community-based Crowdsourcing" at the SOCM Workshop co-located with the WWW 2014 conference. SOCM is the 2nd International Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Social Machines and is an interesting venue for discussing instrumentation, tooling, and software system aspects of online social network. The full program of the event … Continue reading Community-based Crowdsourcing – Our paper at WWW2014 SOCM
Expert finding in social networks and crowdsourcing
Expert selection is an important aspect of many Web applications, e.g., when they aim at matching contents, tasks or advertisement based on user profiles, possibly retrieved from social networks.This was crucial for our current research on crowdsourcing, and therefore we dedicated a specific research line to this aspect. The main idea we developed was to … Continue reading Expert finding in social networks and crowdsourcing
