Special Topics in Information Sciences and Systems: Behavioral Imaging, Sensing and ML

We introduce tools from image sciences, sensing, and machine learning to study, analyze, and positively affect human behavior. Emphasis is on health and wellbeing related behaviors. We study how computer vision, NLP, causal inference, LLMs, and other tools can be developed and used to understand and modify human behavior. We also investigate how to incorporate behavioral sciences into ML and related fields. Applications range from developmental and eating disorders to fitness and aging. We host experts that study the many components of this field, from clinical to ethical and behavioral sciences.
