IFT TALK: Machine Learning as Design Material by Baptiste Caramiaux

Baptiste Caramiaux, a professor and CNRS researcher at the Institute of Intelligent Systems and Robotics (ISIR), Sorbonne University, Paris, is reshaping and revolutionising the landscape of machine learning (ML). He is redefining ML’s role from a mere analytical tool to an active participant in the design process. In his presentation at the Institute for Future Technologies Talk, Baptiste underscored the significance of integrating users into the ML pipeline and their crucial role as teachers of learning systems. 

Focusing on bridging Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and machine learning (ML), Professor Caramiaux advocates for a paradigm shift in which users become integral to the ML pipeline, thus demystifying the algorithmic black box.

Involving the public, artists, and domain experts in interactive and collaborative ML applications

By leveraging ML’s interpretive capabilities, he demonstrates how ML enables the creation of intricate interaction scenarios and accommodates uncertainty within potential outcomes.

Through interdisciplinary research, Baptiste Caramiaux actively involves the public, artists, and domain experts in interactive and collaborative ML applications. His work extends to ML-assisted human learning, Human trust, and examining AI practices and politics in creative and cultural domains.

A commitment characterises Baptiste Caramiaux’s professional journey and a steadfast dedication to fostering collaborative and participatory AI development approaches. His skills span expertise in machine learning models, particularly generative AI such as GPT and diffusion models, alongside a nuanced understanding of HCI principles.

Proficient in articulating complex technical concepts to diverse audiences, Baptiste Caramiaux navigates ethical considerations in AI development and champions inclusivity and creative freedom, ensuring AI’s responsible and ethical use.
