<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black">This course introduces computational methods in HCI. Computational interaction methods use computational thinking – abstraction, automation, and analysis
– to explain and enhance interaction. They can not only automate tasks, but allow deeper understanding of the phenomena and tradeoffs involved. Optimization and probabilistic inference are introduced as principled methods. Lectures center on hands-on Python
programming, interleaving theory and practical examples. The participant will learn how to define problems and solve them efficiently and in a principled manner. The course offers an introduction to applications of computational methods for researchers and
practitioners. Some background in computer science is assumed.</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
