ABSTRACT
Machine learning (ML) poses complex challenges for user experience (UX) designers. Typically unpredictable and opaque, it may produce unforeseen outcomes detrimental to particular groups or individuals, yet simultaneously promise amazing breakthroughs in areas as diverse as medical diagnosis and universal translation. This results in a polarized view of ML, which is often manifested through a technology-as-monster metaphor. In this paper, we acknowledge the power and potential of this metaphor by resurfacing historic complexities in human-monster relations. We (re)introduce these liminal and ambiguous creatures, and discuss their relation to ML. We offer a background to designers' use of metaphor, and show how the technology-as-monster metaphor can generatively probe and (re)frame the questions ML poses. We illustrate the effectiveness of this approach through a detailed discussion of an early-stage generative design workshop inquiring into ML approaches to supporting student mental health and well-being.

Machine learning in decisional process: a philosophical perspective
Special Issue on EthicompIn this paper we would like to undertake a critical examination of machine learning in the context of data revolution. Starting from the existing literature, which has in fact highlighted potential risks both at the epistemological and ethical level, we ...
Machine learning, inductive reasoning, and reliability of generalisations
AbstractThe present paper shows how statistical learning theory and machine learning models can be used to enhance understanding of AI-related epistemological issues regarding inductive reasoning and reliability of generalisations. Towards this aim, the ...
Machine Learning: The State of the Art
The two fundamental problems in machine learning (ML) are statistical analysis and algorithm design. The former tells us the principles of the mathematical models that we establish from the observation data. The latter defines the conditions on which ...
