Interactive data analysis and mining / Learning analytics / Reflexive technologies / Trace-based activity analysis / Video active reading systems and hypervideos
My interest is on Human-Computer Interaction, which I propose to consider from two points of view: that of activity for the humane side, and of the information structures that are manipulated for the machine side. The aim is to be able to think about the co-evolution of activity and information structures at various time scales, focusing on the individual level (which is the place of signification for action) while taking into account the social level where the activity takes place.The focus is on the user as a subject building his/her interaction with the system. The privileged application domain is that of mediated activity considered as permanent reading and writing of digital inscriptions in a both individual and collective information space. I am particularly interested in the activty of interpreting data and documents within Knowledge Work.
There are two non exclusive ways of carrying such research. The first is analytical and consists in studying how users' activity and systems co-evolve. The second is more oriented towards system engineering by designing systems that either assist users in the development of their activity, or are flexible enough to be shaped by users. There are also two conditions that must be fulfilled: work on real world activities, and carry interdisciplinary work with specialists from other disciplines such as sociology, psychology, ergonomy, anthropology, education science, or even philosophy and design.
The main research directions I currently follow are:
Interpreting mediated activity from digital traces: activity traces modeling and abstracting, trace visualisation, multi-scale sequential data analysis, evolving pattern mining, interactive data analysis and mining, etc. to study for example how users do appropriate systems, the way usages evolve, or learners' engagement on distant learning platforms.
Studying the dynamics of and supporting the development of human-machine coupling: trace-based reflective interfaces, active reading and video annotation systems, etc. for technology-enhanced learning or support of users'digital skill development.
