From Human Data to Personal Experience

Lead Research Organisation: University of Nottingham
Department Name: Horizon Digital Economy Research

Abstract

Horizon is a multidisciplinary centre for Digital Economy (DE) research and impact. We balance the development of new technologies to capture and analyse human data, with explorations of how these can be used to deliver powerful experiences to people, with an awareness and understanding of the human and social values that must underpin these. We follow a user-centred approach, undertaking research in the wild based on principles of open innovation.

In its first phase, Horizon has established a core team of over 50 researchers and has reached out to build a wider network of 35 academic and 200 industry, public and third-sector partners. We have established a Centre for Doctoral Training and inaugurated the DE All Hands series of conferences and national DE CDT Summer School. World-class scientific outputs in diverse disciplines have been balanced with economic, cultural and societal impact.

This proposal builds on this critical mass to enable a step-change in Horizon's translational research and impact. We respond to the changing nature of the digital economy as it matures, as the social, physical and digital become blended and as human data becomes an increasingly valuable asset. We offer a vision in which human data enables the creation and delivery of highly personal experiences. We propose to address three major challenges. The first is to establish new technologies that collect and interpret our human data in a more transparent way. The second is to be able to better understand and design new kinds of experiences that employ these technologies to promote the values of personal fulfilment, wellbeing and sustainability. The third is to address key ethical challenges around design for privacy and new models of ownership.

We will work closely with a range of external partners whose interests span: computing and analytics; social policy; and diverse sectors of the DE including creative industries, retail, fast moving consumer goods, finance, energy, transportation and healthcare. We will engage these through a programme of agile translational research projects. These will be integrated into an overarching strategic impact campaign that revolves around three flagships. In turn, these will be supported by two further programmes; one targeted at sustaining the wider DE community and the second at developing the capacity of our researchers to deliver translational research and impact.

Planned Impact

This primary focus of our proposal is on delivering impact across the maturing Digital Economy. We target business, third-sector organisations and public bodies from a diverse range of sectors including creative industries, retail, consumer goods, finance, energy, transportation and healthcare, as well as companies who are delivering the enabling technologies for interpreting and managing personal data and also the organisations that are shaping public policy around these.

These will benefit in multiple ways, including:

- Understanding how to better interpret complex and ambiguous human data, including the potential of algorithmic, human and hybrid approaches;

- Understanding how to embed such interpretations into personally meaningfully experiences that meet wider objectives of fulfilment, wellbeing and sustainability;

- Knowing how to do this in an ethical way so as to maintain positive relationships with consumers, customers and citizens;

- Being able to envision and demonstrate future experiences that blend conventional media, services and physical products in new ways;

- Learning about the opportunities and challenges raised by such experiences through public deployments and field trials;

- Expanding the capabilities of the staff through exposure to new concepts, technologies and methods emerging from DE research;

- Gaining access to talented young people (especially CDT students) through internships and agile projects with the potential to recruit them downstream;

- Entering a neutral environment in which they can engage with other partners at different points along the value chain for future human-data experiences and from across the different sectors in which they are being applied.

Our proposal sets out a wide-ranging programme of impact activities to deliver these benefits, including agile translational projects, a strategically coordinated campaign to maximize impact among clusters of partners; and supporting programmes to develop individuals and the wide Digital Economy community.

Title Dissimilar Reflections 
Description About the exhibition Staring at the Sea by Mark Taylor The work for this exhibition reflects my interest in the transcendental nature of the sea. Human culture and society are inexorably connected to the sea as the sea offers sustenance, hope and renewal. However, it also offers fear, uncertainty and incredible destructive power. Like many others I find myself drawn to the sea through what seems like a primal urge coupled with a fascination at the spectacle. The work I present here focuses on the calming influence of the sea and my personal connection with it. From a young age I have had to learn to cope with high levels of anxiety and bouts of clinical depression. This has to a large extent shaped my approach to personal work which often manifests itself as a form of therapy. In this instance, staring at the sea is something that becomes a meditative and contemplative experience. I enjoy the open space and the minimal aspect. The subtle interplay of light and colour between the Sea, sky and horizon offers an ever-changing aesthetic. The photographs in this exhibition are an attempt to reflect this. I take photographs here and there and then I spend hours patiently sieving through and find commonalities and connections, then classify them into to subject areas. This series is a combination of past work with additional new work made particularly for this show. There is a paradox of permanency and the ephemeral in windows/reflections . Eyes may be 'the window of the soul' but to me photographing windows/reflections is 'soothing of the soul' and more effective than medication for depression. Through a Glass Darkly by Tony Fisher The work I am showing is concerning windows: reflections/mirroring what they physically look like, what can be seen through them or what we can be seen from them and how the elements interact with them. Some of the photographs show decay and deprivation, some express hope and a new beginning and others just show absurdity and a sense of fun.

Title Religion and Mental Health 
Description About Melvyn Melvyn began his education studying A 'level Art and Design with Art History and Media Studies at Clarendon College (Nottingham), from 1983 to 1985. From there he enrolled upon a one year Foundation Course at Trent Polytechnic from to of 1986 and went on to gain a place ar St. Martin's School of Art in London that same year. Unfortunately, due to illness, Melvyn had to quit his studies. In May, 1987 he was put on a six month section order under the Mental Health Act. There began a series of admissions into hospital and he was diagnosed with Schizo-affective disorder. Melvyn has stayed out of hospital for the past 20 years, and gained much insight into the ways of the mind; in illness and in health. For the past 15 years he has created artwork from his studio space on Carrington St in Nottingham and continues to be influenced by the affairs of Mankind - his folly and his wisdom, the World at war and the World at peace. About the artwork "As an artist, I'm particularly interested in the affairs of Mankind; its religion, its politics, its World -as it is and, maybe, as it should be. I believe in one God, but many cultures, creeds, races and religions. I believe that God can transcend our differences, by focusing on our common humanity and needs as people -a world in union in a cosmopolitan pluralistic multi-faceted civilisation. There is a thread of interested in the theological that runs through my work, and a concern for the well-being of all people of the World through different cultures, belief systems, religions and the oneness expressed therein.

Year Produced 2017 
Impact Outcomes of "Roots" Exhibition. Artist statement: People have expressly stated how inspired they have been by the art and staff at IMH have stopped and thanked me stating that the light and life the artwork has brought into the building has been inspiring. Many people have stated that they have felt emotional connections to the artworks. Contributions to others and the community: Provided a talk with a group of MA students of Trauma and used the displayed artwork as a talking point for growth and resilience through trauma. Followed up with an individual student interview to assist with dissertation studies Held live discussion with BBC Radio Nottingham (Alan Clifford show) Developed links with the Nottingham Peace Project and planned provision of and gained council funding to lead "expression through art" workshops for young people in Basford (2018) Roots Exhibition Book - my story of Trauma, Resilience and Growth with accompanying paintings 1. Charitable financial benefits: Sales of paintings have raised £800 to provide a Remembrance Bench for Joel Cooke and £300 for Young Minds Trust. A total of £1,100 sales was made between the 10th October 2017 and 5th of January 2018. 2. New friendships and New opportunities: I have had a number of people ask me to show them how I paint different styles and I am starting small workshops at home on the 10th Jan 2018 I am contributing to Prof Stephen Regel's Stories and Narratives Project (2018) I am working with Su Ansell (De Montford University) on producing a short film about resilience, change and growth (2018) 3. Personal Growth, Empowerment, Health and Well-Being: The exhibition has encouraged me to get out and about, meet new people, socialise and converse. Exposure to the environment, particularly travelling on buses was my goal for my trauma treatment. I now have no fear of travelling on buses or passing through Nottingham. My confidence and communication skills are much improved. When I began planning g the exhibition with Elvira I had to take my daughter with me as I struggled with conversation skills. That is no longer the case. I am sure Elvira has noted the differences since we first met. My family and friends often comment on the progress I have made in overcoming my fear of public places and people. I intend to continue to raise funds for charity, raise awareness of how we can rebuild our resilience and growth through art expression. I will continue to inspire others by sharing my story and art.

Description The lack of accountability by most organisations around the use of personal data precludes meaningful engagement by end-users with their personal data and hence there is a core fallacy at the heart of much of the digital economy - that of informed consent. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the treatment of children and their data, indeed their opinions are rarely listened too. Our research has contributed widely to the debate around personal data, and we have been active in policy input, while work with our partner 5Rights led directly to the UKDPA 2018 Age Appropriate Design amendment and resultant code of practice that is now being rolled out.
Exploitation Route We have successfully established over 130 collaborations and partnerships across diverse sectors - including digital, communication and information technologies, the creative and cultural industries, energy and the environment, health and wellbeing, manufacturing, retail and transport. Delivering in excess of 1100 engagement activities and disseminating our findings among audiences totalling over 300,000 globally, our research findings have contributed towards influencing policy and practice in a number of ways.

For example, many of our partners have built upon our generic understandings of personal data that have arisen from our research and policy work, while a smaller number have built key prototype products using our privacy preserving approaches, for example the BBC Box and Unilever's smart toothbrush.

A key mission for this second phase of Horizon was policy impact and this has been widespread most notably in the UK Govt Unlocking Digital Competition report, with input to Age Appropriate Design legislation and guidance, and ongoing work related to Online Harms.

Description This follow on grant for Horizon continues the outreach and engagement with our partner organizations and delivery of policy impact through contributions to public consultations. A mainstay of our work are the 3 campaigns (Media, Services and Products) in which we organise a coherent portfolio of related projects focusing attention on impact delivery. Throughout our Media Impact Campaign, we worked with over 50 Partners to provide training and support practitioners and artists - encouraging interaction with individuals we may not have traditionally worked with - an example being B3 Media TalentLab - a programme which specifically seeks out artistic talent within the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities. We created a portfolio of more than 40 new installations, touring and performing at over venues across 26 cities worldwide and reaching an audience approaching 65,000. Our Services Campaign gained a better understanding about some of the challenges faced by sharing personal data with digital service providers. Users came up with over 20 distinct ways of describing their data and there was a complex relationship between these descriptions. Operators and provides of services expressed concerns relating to the responsibilities involved in collecting and retaining users' personal data and not only ensuring compliance with GDPR but engaging in responsible innovation. Activities highlighted the complexity of systems using personal data, such as the developer's responsibility for system (mis) use and how a correct understanding of a system's operation can be ensured. The need for human oversight, clear and transparent communication relating to privacy agreements, and how captured personal data would be stored, processed and used was highlighted as particularly important. In conjunction with our industry partners we developed different proof of concept digital services to act as probes for research into their impact on consumers and the implications for privacy and trust. The ongoing Products Campaign targeted business sectors that traditionally revolve around different kinds of physical products, and explored how these could be transformed through emerging Internet of Things technologies coupled to human data. We have now taken this forward jointly with the University of Nottingham Smart Products Beacon which will continue the legacy of this work started in Horizon. This project also formed the basis for the next phase of Horizon funding and future impact will be recorded there.

This Act protects children's privacy by giving parents tools to control what information is collected from their children online. The Act requires the Commission to promulgate regulations requiring operators of commercial websites and online services directed to children under 13 or knowingly collecting personal information from children under 13 to: (a) notify parents of their information practices; (b) obtain verifiable parental consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of children's personal information; (c) let parents prevent further maintenance or use or future collection of their child's personal information; (d) provide parents access to their child's personal information; (e) not require a child to provide more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in an activity; and (f) maintain reasonable procedures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the personal information. In order to encourage active industry self-regulation, the Act also includes a "safe harbor" provision allowing industry groups and others to request Commission approval of self-regulatory guidelines to govern participating websites' compliance with the Rule.

Title Fuzzy logic-based model for value-driven environmental management framework 
Description A model based on fuzzy logic has been developed during this project. The data capture/analysis in environmental management is highly complex with large associated uncertainty in both qualitative and quantitative sources. This, compounded by the need for strong system transparency makes a fuzzy logic based model an ideal approach. A database structure is also developed that can hold the captured data and settings for each environmental management context. 
Type Of Material Computer model/algorithm 
Year Produced 2013 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact The developed model and its underlying database are directly used in the developed Web-based management tool. The computer programs and schema can be used for other management contexts. Currently, their viability for UK deployment is being assessed.

This social enterprise aims to improve women's digital skills and confidence so they can pass on the benefits to their families, return to work after career breaks and start their own businesses. It's run by Dr Sue Black, who was named one of the top 50 women in tech in Europe in 2015, and was awarded an OBE following her campaign Saving Bletchley Park. The research team have liaised with Sue and her team, contacted Nottingham schools and organised a series of face-to-face meetings between the the partners. We secured public engagement funding from the School of Computer Science to support a pilot #techmums course at local secondary school Top Valley Academy, and worked with partners to make all the necessary practical arrangements for it.
Collaborator Contribution Sue Black has contributed her time for teleconferences and a visit to Nottingham to help make the necessary local connections. Top Valley Academy contributed use of their space and technology, resources to recruit participants and catering.
Impact Five training sessions were delivered by Sue and another #techmums trainer, Julie McCarthy, at Top Valley Academy. The course covers: cloud computing, app design, social media & security, web design and python programming. Each session was attended by one or two Horizon staff/students (nine in total across the course), offering support and encouragement to the mums. Having completed the course, the mums visited the School of Computer Science at Jubilee Campus for a graduation ceremony, bringing some of their children with them. Here they got to try out a Virtual Reality experience. Nottingham South MP Lilian Greenwood presented them with certificates and Technical Skills Manager Kelly Vere was an inspirational speaker. The activities have been documented through professionally produced video, blogs, surveys and social media. The outreach was included in the School of Computer Science's resubmission for an Athena SWAN Bronze Award.

PI Contribution I collected audience responses once the film was released, helping to develop an interview protocol and survey, which were then implemented by multiple people across screenings and sites. Data I collected after preview screening at Lakeside Arts in Nottingham informed final adjustments to the film's length and soundtrack. The film premiered at Sheffield Doc/Fest, a prestigious international film event for industry and the public, in June 2018. Interviews with audience members after the 66 screening during the festival produced over 1000 minutes of audio, which were converted into 78 transcript, which I analysed. My research efforts for the project contributed to the evaluation for the Arts Council England (ACE) grant that supported the production and release of the brain-controlled film. This was offered as an in-kind contribution to that grant; and the successful outcome of the project, which I helped to evidence, then formed the basis for another ACE application to support subsequent touring (also successful).
Collaborator Contribution The partner allowed me to collect a range of data relevant to the production and release of a brain-controlled film. I interviewed professionals from different creative specialisms involved in the film production: the director, cinematographer, CGI artist and composers. They were also willing to share working materials with me, which include chat logs and storyboards. These materials are particularly interesting in terms of adjustments to practices, even at the pre-production stage, which have to be made in order to accommodate interactive playback at a screening. The techniques developed by the director in the course of this project, and the lessons learned during the process, could help practitioners and researchers develop general frameworks for making and studying interactive narrative media.

They covered the costs of a large scale public launch evening (for 150 people). They covered the costs of promoting the visitor experience. National Trust also evaluated the visitor experience.
Impact Over 3000 visitors experienced Wander the Workhouse over the course of a month. The results of this collaboration informed the subsequent specification of National Trust's redevelopment of The Workhouse, and the commercial partners it has engaged to carry out that redevelopment. As such, at this stage it has impacted on the ways of working of the National Trust at The Workhouse; the redevelopment is likely to have a significant economic impact on The Workhouse when it is complete.

Title Data Journeys Archway 
Description The Data Journeys Archway is a physical arch that people can walk through. It is augmented with distance sensors, LED lights and projectors to sense people stepping through and to feed back on their interaction. It was a first experiment as part of the development of a larger archways project, an outcome of and follow-on from Andrew Wilson's shared research residency with Mixed Reality Lab and Sustrans (the national active travel charity) and Nottingham Research Fellow Holger Schnädelbach, funded by Horizon. When people approach the arch from either side, we project a question onto the ground in front of the arch, for example "Who has opened a door for you and where did it lead?". People have a chance to think about that question even if they chose not to walk through the arch. If they then decide to walk through the arch, we use a sensor to record their height, which is displayed on the strips of LEDs on the side of the arch as they pass through. An observer discreetly using a web page on a mobile phone records some basic facts about the person, for example male or female, wearing a hat or glasses (when applicable), along with a choice from a range of positive statements about a personal quality, for example "Always smiling" or "Steps forward boldly." As the person passes through the arch, their height, their personal qualities, and a piece of "wisdom" in the form of a positive quote, such as "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. [Thomas Edison]"chosen at random from a list, are projected in front of them on the far side of the arch. The Data Journeys Archway is designed to make people reflect on their physical and personal journeys through live. It is also a vehicle to discuss with people how the built environment is complicit in the journey of personal data to become big data. 
Type Of Technology Physical Model/Kit 
Year Produced 2016

Title The Legal- IT Cards 
Description The Legal-IT cards are a set of physical cards created as a responsible research and innovation tool created to enable structured reflection on legislation concerning new information technologies. Inspired by legislative changes, such as the General Data Protection Regulation, we recognise the need to build legal compliance into technologies by design and default. The Legal-IT cards focus on five regulatory frameworks relevant to IT, namely the General Data Protection Regulation 2016; Network and Information Security Directive 2016; Cybercrime Convention 2001; Attacks Against Information Systems Directive 2013, and proposed e-Privacy Regulation 2017. They summarise and present these pieces of legislation on a series of cards, divided into the categories of Definitions, Principles, Rights and Responsibilities to encourage and enable engagement with this legislation in the context of technology development 
Type Of Technology Physical Model/Kit 
Year Produced 2018 
Impact The Legal-IT cards have been trialled in a series of 5 workshops with researchers developing technology and non academic technology developers. This has shown them to enable consideration of legislation in a flexible and engaging way, increasing the knowledge, skills and confidence of users with regards to legal aspects of their technology.

Title The Moral-IT Cards 
Description The Moral-IT cards are a set of physical cards created as a responsible research and innovation tool created to enable structured reflection on legal, ethical, technical and social implications of new information technologies. Inspired by legislative changes, such as the General Data Protection Regulation, we recognise the need to build legal compliance into technologies by design and default. The Moral-IT deck of cards poses a wide range of critical ethical questions designers need to ask of their new technology, thematically clustered around four themes (privacy, ethics, law and security) and have been designed to be flexibly used in a variety of ways, from individual reflection, sorting and prioritisation exercises through to streamlined risk assessment exercises, facilitated workshops and more according to the needs of the user.

Title e-Genie (Goal-setting and ENergy Information Engagement tool) 
Description The e-Genie tool has two main sections: front screens which provide energy information feedback (both electricity and gas) and which scroll periodically, and further screens that users reach by 'Taking Action' to support discussing and changing behaviour and reporting energy related faults. Thermal imagining cameras and digital thermometers were also made available for building users alongside e-Genie in order to provide further tools for gaining more fine grained information about the building's energy use. 
Type Of Technology Webtool/Application 
Year Produced 2016 
Impact We have trialled e-Genie in two organisations to date, one is ongoing and the evaluation of this trial is not yet complete. From the first trial the overall impact of having e-Genie in the office was minimal. The first deployment served primarily as a test of the technology and at the site, the majority of the staff had little or no control over the environment or power aspects of the building. However for those individuals that were involved in the Ctech project in some way, it was reported that it made them more conscious of energy saving and the image that is projected by a company with regards to whether they are energy conscious or not. The organisation did report that they saw clear benefits from having e-Genie installed in our office in that it provided them with concrete energy data which they could refer to when making operational decisions. It was reported as giving credibility to points being made and allowed the illustration of, for example, exactly where the hottest bit of the building is. The thermal imaging cameras deployed alongside e-Genie were also interesting to the building users and were taken home by building users. It was reported that people enjoyed using these and there were energy efficiency measures installed (e.g. sealing strips, draught excluders, loft insulation and caps added to chimney stacks) as a direct result of their use.

The proposed outcome of the workshop includes a new ethical framework with guidelines for best practice in social media research.

During the two-days workshop participants co-constructed a set of ethics guidelines for both researchers and ethics panel members in order to guide research protocols. It was very productive and by the end of the second day we had a set of guidelines and a series of case studies that illustrated the main ethical challenges to be taken into account.

The workshop was part of a project being carried out at the University of Aberdeen called "Social Media Privacy and Risk: Towards More Ethical Research Methodologies", which is part a grant from the Economic and Social Research Council "Social Media - Developing Understanding, Infrastructure & Engagement (Social Media Enhancement)" (ES/M001628/1).

Results and Impact Lilian Edwards organised an Algorithm Workshop on 27th February at the Technology Innovation Centre (TIC) at Stathclyde for the benefit of Internet Law and Policy Masters students, and Internet law Honours students, as well as invited guests from law, technology and business and public attendees. The event was a sell out with 300 attending and created much interest on social media.
The workshop considered the legal, social and technical dimensions of algorithms and their role in governance. As our everyday lives are more and more determined by decisions made by automated algorithmic processes, the status of algorithms and how they can be regulated , queried and countermanded, becomes evermore important. To give just a few examples, algorithms now often determine how we are assessed as risks for policing and terrorism surveillance: how we get hired, fired and promoted; and what news and political opinion we are exposed to. Both personal and societal welfare and arguably, the future of democracy itself, thus depend on being able to regulate and make accountable the algorithm society. In particular a major current question is if a right to explanation of what an algorithm has decided exists in data protection law? Lilian spoke on this in her contribution: ""Slave to the Algorithm: War Stories and Legal Remedies".
We hope the event will be a "starter seed" for CILP and partners (including Edinburgh and Horizon DEC, Nottingham) to investigate this fascinating topic further and we will be seeking major grant funding. ax 120000 characters)
