What is the primary focus of Human Factors in Machine Learning?

  1. Designing ML systems that are efficient and accurate

  2. Understanding the impact of ML systems on human users

  3. Developing ML algorithms that can learn from human data

  4. Creating ML systems that are robust and reliable


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Human Factors in Machine Learning focuses on understanding how humans interact with and are affected by ML systems, with the goal of designing systems that are user-friendly, safe, and effective.

Which of the following is NOT a common challenge in designing user interfaces for ML systems?

  1. Ensuring that the system is transparent and explainable to users

  2. Providing users with control over the system's behavior

  3. Making the system easy to use and understand

  4. Designing the system to be visually appealing


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

While visual appeal is important in general user interface design, it is not a specific challenge unique to ML systems.

What is the term for the phenomenon where users develop trust in an ML system even when it is not warranted?

  1. Automation bias

  2. Confirmation bias

  3. Overconfidence bias

  4. Illusion of control bias


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Automation bias refers to the tendency of users to place too much trust in automated systems, even when they are not fully reliable.

Which of the following is a recommended practice for mitigating the risk of automation bias?

  1. Providing users with clear and accurate information about the system's limitations

  2. Encouraging users to question the system's output and to seek human input when appropriate

  3. Designing the system to be transparent and explainable to users

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above practices can help to mitigate the risk of automation bias by making users more aware of the system's limitations and by encouraging them to be more critical of its output.

What is the term for the phenomenon where users become overly reliant on an ML system and fail to use their own judgment and critical thinking skills?

  1. Automation bias

  2. Confirmation bias

  3. Overconfidence bias

  4. Illusion of control bias


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Illusion of control bias refers to the tendency of users to believe that they have more control over a system than they actually do, which can lead to them becoming overly reliant on the system and failing to use their own judgment and critical thinking skills.

Which of the following is a recommended practice for mitigating the risk of illusion of control bias?

  1. Providing users with clear and accurate information about the system's limitations

  2. Encouraging users to question the system's output and to seek human input when appropriate

  3. Designing the system to be transparent and explainable to users

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above practices can help to mitigate the risk of illusion of control bias by making users more aware of the system's limitations and by encouraging them to be more critical of its output.

What is the term for the phenomenon where users develop a negative attitude towards an ML system and become unwilling to use it?

  1. Automation bias

  2. Confirmation bias

  3. Overconfidence bias

  4. System resistance


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

System resistance refers to the phenomenon where users develop a negative attitude towards an ML system and become unwilling to use it, often due to a lack of trust or perceived usefulness.

Which of the following is a recommended practice for mitigating the risk of system resistance?

  1. Providing users with clear and accurate information about the system's benefits and limitations

  2. Encouraging users to try the system out and to provide feedback

  3. Designing the system to be user-friendly and easy to use

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above practices can help to mitigate the risk of system resistance by making users more aware of the system's benefits and limitations, by encouraging them to try it out, and by making it easy for them to use.

What is the term for the phenomenon where users develop unrealistic expectations about the capabilities of an ML system?

  1. Automation bias

  2. Confirmation bias

  3. Overconfidence bias

  4. Illusion of control bias


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Overconfidence bias refers to the tendency of users to overestimate their own abilities and knowledge, which can lead them to develop unrealistic expectations about the capabilities of an ML system.

Which of the following is a recommended practice for mitigating the risk of overconfidence bias?

  1. Providing users with clear and accurate information about the system's limitations

  2. Encouraging users to question the system's output and to seek human input when appropriate

  3. Designing the system to be transparent and explainable to users

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above practices can help to mitigate the risk of overconfidence bias by making users more aware of the system's limitations and by encouraging them to be more critical of its output.

What is the term for the phenomenon where users are more likely to trust the output of an ML system if it is presented in a visually appealing or persuasive manner?

  1. Automation bias

  2. Confirmation bias

  3. Overconfidence bias

  4. Framing effect


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Framing effect refers to the phenomenon where users are more likely to trust the output of an ML system if it is presented in a visually appealing or persuasive manner, even if the underlying data or algorithm is the same.

Which of the following is a recommended practice for mitigating the risk of framing effect?

  1. Providing users with clear and accurate information about the system's limitations

  2. Encouraging users to question the system's output and to seek human input when appropriate

  3. Designing the system to be transparent and explainable to users

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above practices can help to mitigate the risk of framing effect by making users more aware of the system's limitations and by encouraging them to be more critical of its output.

What is the term for the phenomenon where users are more likely to trust the output of an ML system if it is presented by a human rather than a machine?

  1. Automation bias

  2. Confirmation bias

  3. Overconfidence bias

  4. Anthropomorphism bias


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Anthropomorphism bias refers to the tendency of users to attribute human-like qualities to non-human entities, such as ML systems, which can lead them to be more trusting of the system's output.

Which of the following is a recommended practice for mitigating the risk of anthropomorphism bias?

  1. Providing users with clear and accurate information about the system's limitations

  2. Encouraging users to question the system's output and to seek human input when appropriate

  3. Designing the system to be transparent and explainable to users

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above practices can help to mitigate the risk of anthropomorphism bias by making users more aware of the system's limitations and by encouraging them to be more critical of its output.

What is the term for the phenomenon where users are more likely to trust the output of an ML system if it is presented in a confident or assertive manner?

  1. Automation bias

  2. Confirmation bias

  3. Overconfidence bias

  4. Authority bias


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Authority bias refers to the tendency of users to trust the output of an ML system more if it is presented in a confident or assertive manner, even if the underlying data or algorithm is the same.

Which of the following is a recommended practice for mitigating the risk of authority bias?

  1. Providing users with clear and accurate information about the system's limitations

  2. Encouraging users to question the system's output and to seek human input when appropriate

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above practices can help to mitigate the risk of authority bias by making users more aware of the system's limitations and by encouraging them to be more critical of its output.
