Graphical Editing by Example in Chimera
David Kurlander · 2007
Human beings are great problem solvers, but find repetitive tasks tedious. In contrast, computers usually must be taught how to perform new tasks, but then they can quickly repeat the steps on new data. Given that a computer’s strength lies in its ability to perform tasks repetitively, it is especially frustrating that many computer interfaces require the people using them to repeat interaction steps many times to achieve their desired goals. By building interfaces that can automate repeated interaction steps, we leverage off of the strengths of computers to make these goals easier to attain.
