The people involved in the designing stage can benefit if they can know what’s in the mind of their targeted customers, such as: Who are they? Where are they from? What are they looking for? What are their goals? This situation is where personas come in […]
APG for persona creation Read More »
The following is a post from the APG Team’s summer 2020 intern, Jaad Mohammed. ——– When using personas, the stakeholders of a project can feel empathy for the end-user. Ordinary market or user research data, as cold hard numbers [1], might lead you to narrow conclusions that could have many broad or even different meanings.
The following is a post from the APG Team’s summer 2020 intern, Jaad Mohammed. ——– Here we talk about how the APG system enriches a data-driven persona by adding personality to the persona, like the education level. After APG creates a base persona from a set of user data by following a unique sequential method

Artificial generation of facial images is increasingly popular, with machine learning achieving photo-realistic results. Yet, there is a concern that the generated images might not fairly represent all demographic groups. This has implications for persona development when approaching the goal of generating the facial pictures for the persona profiles automatically. In research led by Joni Salminen,

Quantitative data and algorithms are becoming more common for persona creation, but it is not clear to which extent this data and opaque machine learning algorithms introduce bias at various steps of data-driven persona creation (DDPC) and/or violate user rights. In this conceptual work, led by Joni Salminen, we use Gillespie’s framework of algorithmic ethics
