and curation of data might require many man-months of effort and involve the collaboration of data scientists, machine-learning experts, and domain experts. Human-centered design methods can therefore play a key role in building systems that aid in the generation of training data.

A shift from tuning the
performance of automated classifiers
toward focusing on the human-
machine teaching aspect of these
interactions highlights the role
of humans as teachers and their
interaction with data as a key factor in
building ML-based systems. The role
of the designer and design activities
In many domains, the designers and
engineers of machine-learning-based
systems do not themselves hold the
expertise required to create training
data. In a typical project, the creation
FInsights → The realization of the potential of machine learning will require developments in the design of human-machine teaching environments. → After initial ML components are trained, the UX designer can play a key role in creating man-machine systems that continuously improve through use.
