Human-Centered Data Discovery
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031182227 | 154 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3 MB
This book synthesizes existing research on human-centered data discovery, as well as the recommendations which exist for supporting the design of sustainable, user-centered data search systems. While information-seeking in various settings has been well-researched within computer and information science, not much is known about human-centered data discovery, or how people discover, understand and interact with data that others create. This is particularly relevant given the ever-increasing amounts of data being produced and made available, and the creation of data-specific discovery tools and systems. This book examines how people find the data they need, which search strategies and tools they use, how they understand data, and how search systems can be better designed to meet people's needs.
Human Judgment: How Accurate Is It, and How Can It Get Better?
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031192044 | 269 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 2.4 MB
We humans make judgments about a staggering variety of topics. These include which medical condition is the correct diagnosis for your symptoms, whether a particular defendant is guilty of some crime or whether a particular political candidate will win an election-to name a few of countless examples. But how accurate are the judgments we all make, and how can they get better? This book synthesizes interdisciplinary research about these questions into one volume. In doing so, it uniquely draws on insights from fields as diverse as medicine, political judgment, cross-cultural psychology, evolutionary history and the heuristics and biases research program. Consequently, the book also enables readers concerned with judgmental accuracy in one field to benefit from the insights in others. Moreover, the author introduces an emerging field of research: empirical epistemology or normative cognitive science. The book lastly articulates a set of recommendations-recommendations aiming to improve our judgment, our decision-making and ultimately our lives.
Human Birth: An Evolutionary Perspective By Wenda R. Trevathan
2011 | 286 Pages | ISBN: 1412815029 | PDF | 29 MB
The story of human evolution has been told hundreds of times, each time with a focus that seems most informative of the teller. No matter how it is told the primary characters are rarely mothers and infants. Darwin argued survival, but today we know that reproduction is what evolution is all about. Centering on this, Trevathan focuses on birth, which gives the study of human evolution a crucial new dimension. Unique among mammals, humans are bipedal. The evolution of bipedalism required fundamental changes in the pelvis and resulted in a narrow birth canal. Humans are also large-brained animals, which means that birth is much more challenging for our species than for most other animals. The result of this mismatch of large head and narrow pelvis is that women are highly dependent on assistance at birth and their babies are born in an unusually undeveloped state when the brain is still small. Human Birth discusses how the birth process has evolved and ways in which human birth differs from birth in all other mammals. Human Birth is also concerned with mother-infant interaction immediately after birth. While working as a midwife trainee, Trevathan carefully documented the births of more than one hundred women and recorded maternal and infant behaviors during the first hour after birth. She suggests ways in which the interactions served not only to enhance mother-infant bonding, but also to ensure survival in the evolutionary past. With clarity and compelling logic Trevathan argues that modern birth practices often fail to meet evolved needs of women and infants and suggests changes that could lead to better birth experiences. This paperback edition includes a new introduction by the author.
