Prototyping involves the evolution of an idea into various stages of design until it reaches a certain level of maturity. These design stages include low, medium and high fidelity prototypes. Workload analysis of prototyping using NASA-TLX showed an increase in workload specifically in frustration, temporal demand, effort, and decline in performanc...

User Interface design is an iterative process that progresses through low-, medium-, and high-fidelity prototypes. A few research projects use deep learning to automate this process by transforming low fidelity (lo-fi) sketches into front-end code. However, these research projects lack a large scale dataset of lo-fi sketches to train detection mode...

UI designers look for inspirational examples from existing UI designs during the prototyping process. However, they have to reconstruct these example UI designs from scratch to edit content or apply styling. The existing solution attempts to make UI screens into editable vector graphics using image segmentation techniques. In this research, we aim...

Transforming lo-fi UI sketches to higher-fidelities is an expensive, time-consuming process that requires significant rework. In this paper, we systematically research utilizing AI to assist the transformation of lo-fi sketches to higher fidelities. To provide this assistance, we introduce MetaMorph, an AI tool to detect the constituent UI elements...

User Interface (UI) design is an iterative process where designers iterate over multiple prototyping fidelities to finalise an aesthetic and usable interface. Prior research on adding Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the UI design process focused on automating the process while sacrificing the autonomy of designers. In this dissertation, we conduct...

In this position paper, we propose building a broader and deeper understanding around Explainability in AI by 'grounding' it in social contexts, the socio-technical systems operate in. We situate our understanding of grounded explainability in the 'Global South' in general and India in particular and express the need for more research within the gl...

Grid stability becomes an issue when incorporating renewable distribution generation into an electrical grid due to voltage fluctuations. This work presents an innovative solution which assists grid planners in carrying out technical and economic analysis of future grids and in taking decisions based on it. A set of tools allows the determination o...

This paper contributes the first large-scale dataset of 17,979 hand-drawn sketches of 21 UI element categories collected from 967 participants, including UI/UX designers, front-end developers, HCI, and CS grad students, from 10 different countries. We performed a perceptual study with this dataset and found out that UI/UX designers can recognize th...

During the User interface (UI) design process, designers use UI design patterns for conceptualizing different UI wireframes for an application. This paper introduces Akin, a UI wireframe generator that allows designers to chose a UI design pattern and provides them with multiple UI wireframes for a given UI design pattern. Akin uses a fine-tuned Se...

User Interface (UI) prototyping is an iterative process where designers initially sketch UIs before transforming them into interactive digital designs. Recent research applies Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to identify the constituent UI elements of these UI sketches and transform these sketches into front-end code. Training such DNN models requires a...

In the User Interface (UI) design process, designers sketch the UI design (low fidelity prototype) with minimal focus on visual appearances before converting them to higher fidelities. Contrary to low-fidelity, higher fidelity prototypes require better layout and aesthetic quality, during which designers adhere to design laws and conventions. Numer...

User Interface (UI) design is a creative process that involves considerable reiteration and rework. Designers go through multiple iterations of different prototyping fidelities to create a UI design. In this research, we propose to modify the UI design process by assisting it with artificial intelligence (AI). We propose to enable AI to perform rep...

NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) is a widely used assessment technique to compute subjective workload experienced during a task. It evaluates workload using six dimensions: mental demand, physical demand, temporal demand, frustration, effort, and performance. This paper presents a web app to assist experimenters in using NASA-TLX to commute subjecti...
