Work description

Under the guidance of the scientific coordinator, the fellow must: 1. Define a conceptual model of HCAI, identifying entities (human, system, decision, feedback) and their relationships 2. Represent the model using diagrams, a lightweight ontology, or a structured framework 3. Structure a taxonomy of HCAI practices, organized by levels (design, interaction, validation, learning) 4. Define key dimensions of the taxonomy (transparency, control, trust, ethics) and align them with use cases 5. Develop a functional prototype, including a simple interface and a pipeline with Human-in-the-Loop 6. Integration of a basic explainability (XAI) module into the prototype, aligned with the proposed architecture 7. Conducting exploratory testing and qualitative evaluation, focused on usability and the perception of human control 8. Throughout the fellowship, depending on the results, there may be opportunities to present these at conferences in the fields of HCI and Data Science.
