Harnessing Big Personal Data, with Scrutable User Modelling for Privacy and Control
Judy Kay · 2015
My work aims to enable people to harness, control and manage their big personal data. This is challenging because people are generating vast, and growing, collections of personal data. That data is captured by a rich personal digital ecosystems of devices, some worn or carried, and others are fixed or embedded in the environment. Users explicitly store some data but systems also capture the user's digital footprints, ranging from simple clicks and touches, to images, audio and video. This personal data resides in a quite bewildering range of places, from personal devices to cloud stores, in multitudes of silos.
