Negotiating Ontological Boundaries in User-Authored Personal Sensing Systems
Apple Machine Learning Research · Published · 3 min read
In 30 seconds
- What happened
- Apple researchers studied how people negotiate what data their personal sensing systems should track when they design the systems themselves.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building customizable ML systems where users define what phenomena to monitor in their own lives.
- Watch out
- Study was exploratory with small scale; findings about ontological boundary negotiation need validation in larger deployments and real-world contexts.
