Enhancing the Human-computer Interaction through the Application of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Mining

Machines have become an essential part of day-to-day human activities; their volume and frequency of usage have rapidly increased in every sector. These machines, especially the computer system, are well known for their speed, accuracy, repeatability, and use to execute tasks that can be harmful to humans. However, these machines lack intelligence, as they do not possess the ability to think like humans. The quest for producing machines with thinking capabilities led to artificial intelligence; thus, many efforts were channeled towards developing devices that can communicate with their surroundings, making a logical decision on what has been perceived, and then provide the proper solution to the problem. To achieve this feat, machine learning is utilized by subjecting the system to a series of training using algorithms and data mining techniques, which is similar to how humans learn from infancy till adulthood and then execute tasks based on knowledge and the experiences they have gathered growing up. While these technologies opened a creative horizon for technological development, there is a current demand for intelligent user interfaces with high usability that can sustain the mode of interaction depending on users, tasks assigned, and the environment. This chapter attempts to present an overview of how data mining can be incorporated with machine learning to produce a machine with artificial intelligence and how both can improve the intelligent user interface.
