Biography

Susanne Hindennach is a PhD student in the Perceptual User Interfaces group since June 2020. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Cognitive Science from the University of Osnabrück and a Master’s degree in Clinical and Experimental Neuroscience from the University of Cologne. After her studies, she worked as a data science consultant for three years, where she got her hands on data from various industries. Returning to research, she is interested in understanding and modelling concepts about human interaction such as Theory of Mind.

   In this work we investigate the challenging task of predicting user intents from mouse and keyboard input as well as gaze behaviour. In contrast to prior work we study intent prediction at two different resolutions on the behavioural timeline: predicting future input actions as well as latent intents to achieve a high-level interaction goal. Results from a user study (N=15) on a sample text formatting task show that the sequence of prior actions is more informative for intent prediction than gaze. Only using the action sequence, we can predict the next action and the high-level intent with an accuracy of 66% and 96%, respectively. In contrast, accuracy when using features extracted from gaze behaviour was significantly lower, at 41% and 46%. This finding is important for the development of future anticipatory user interfaces that aim to proactively adapt to user intents and interaction goals.
