Members of the department’s Human-Centred Computing theme are out in force in Montreal this week. They and their collaborators are presenting four full papers, three DPhil student entries and one concept paper at The ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2018).

On Monday, Oxford’s Reuben Binns gave a paper entitled ‘It's reducing human beings to a percentage: Perceptions of justice in algorithmic decisions.’
