131 - Opportunities and Barriers between HCI and NLP, with Nanna Inie and Leon Derczynski

What can NLP researchers learn from Human Computer Interaction
(HCI) research? We chatted with Nanna Inie and Leon Derczynski to
find out. We discussed HCI's research processes including methods
of inquiry, the data annotation processes used in HCI, and how they
are different from NLP, and the cognitive methods used in HCI for
qualitative error analyses. We also briefly talked about the
opportunities the field of HCI presents for NLP researchers. This
discussion is based on the following paper:
