New Paper: Desiderata for a Computational Model of Human Online Narrative Sensemaking
Rogelio E. Cardona-Rivera (QED Lab Director) and R. Michael Young have had their paper Desiderata for a Computational Model of Human Online Narrative Sensemaking accepted for publication at the 2019 AAAI Spring Symposium on Story-enabled Intelligence. The paper presents a set of constraints that computational models ought to satisfy should they purport to represent/encode the cognitive processes involved in online (i.e. during reading/viewing) human narrative sensemaking.

The Quantitative Experience Design Lab has been awarded $169,698.75 by the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) via a subcontract through Charles River Analytics to advance the development of a Predictive System for Cyber Hostility using Integrated Computational Models (PSYCHIC).
Call for Volunteers: An Experiment in Interactive Narrative Adventure Games
The QED Lab is currently recruiting participants who are interested in playing an adventure game for science. The purpose of this study is to understand how people make inferences during video game play. You must be 18 years or older to participate, and you must be able to read English.
Call for Applications, 2018 SPUR Project: Automated Dungeon Mastering
I am happy to announce that the QED Lab has been selected for the 2018 Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR), an intensive 10-week research experience at the University of Utah. This means that we will be awarded funds to recruit a student to work with over the summer, from May 23, 2018 to August 3, 2018. If you are interested in learning more about the project, click here.
If you are interested and/or have additional questions about our project, please contact me. To apply, click here.
Join the Lab!
I am (always) seeking motivated, curious, and dedicated students to join the Laboratory for Quantitative Experience Design. My areas of interest are computational psychology, artificial intelligence, game design, and interactive narrative. Please view the projects page to see specific examples of the kind of work I am interested in pursuing.
Please email me and be specific as to why you want to work with me. Referencing a
specific project you're interested in helps, but note: if your email to me could have been written by anyone, it is not specific enough and will likely be lost among all other emails.
