2025 Workshop on 'AI for understanding human behavior in professional settings' (BEHAIV)
2025 Workshop on 'AI for understanding human behavior in professional settings' (BEHAIV) at the 2025 European Conference on AI - ECAI2025 .
A substantial amount of research has been devoted to the role of AI in understanding and supporting people at their work.There are mature AI solutions to support medical practitioners for diagnosis, decision-making, treatment planning and patient monitoring; to support managers with logistics, decision-making, financial planning and auditing; and teachers with e-learning platforms and student performance assessment tools. However, many solutions, even interactive ones, can neither perceive nor anticipate the condition of the working professionals - including fatigue, distress, and cognitive overload.
Goal of BEHAIV is to bring together researchers working on AI in support of professionals, to understand their expectations and information demands during decision making, to help them anticipate signals calling their attention, to detect fatigue and disturbances, to promote safety and satisfaction at work. Examples of professionals are: teachers who need to deal with foundational models used by their students, teachers who want to exploit AI in their courses, doctors who interact with models during treatment planning, managers who receive AI-collected pieces of information and need to make reliable decisions on them.
We solicit contributions on the role of AI on any aspects of understanding the behavior of professionals, including but not limited to:
-
AI for Decision Support
-
AI for the Detection of Uncertainty, Fatigue, Cognitive Bias
-
AI for Human Activity Anticipation and Prediction
-
Explainable AI, Counterfactuals, Contrastive Learning
-
AI to Promote Safety at Work
-
Neurocognitive or Psychological Approaches for Behavior Understanding
-
Continuous learning for Decision Dupport
-
Affective Computing and Emotive User Interfaces
- AI for the Analysis of Living and Working conditions
- AI to support course design, tutoring, and grading
- AI to support teachers inside the classroom
