Interactive Visualizations of Transparent User Models for Self-Actualization: A Human-Centered Design Approach

This contribution sheds light on the potential of transparent user models for self-actualization. It discusses development EDUSS, a conceptual framework self-actualization goals modeling. Drawing from qualitative research approach, investigates psychology and computer science disciplines derives set mechanisms. Following human-centered design (HCD) was applied in an iterative process to systematically interactive visualizations help users achieve different scientific domain. For this purpose, explainable interest model within recommender system is utilized provide various information how are generated users’ publication data. The main contributions threefold: First, synthesis domains. Second, theoretically-sound modeling consisting five goals, namely, Explore, Develop, Understand, Scrutinize, Socialize. Third, instantiation proposed effectively that can support following HCD approach.
