If you've ever wondered what happens between a touch detection and a UI activation on Android devices, my colleague Andrew Ramsay has written a very deep dive on every step of the process, from device driver to UI listeners:

(a) This is amazing news (even if I'm a bit biased). (b) It's really cool to see the text of all the *unsuccessful* proposals that led to this success openly published.

Do you like dynamic systems? In human-computer interaction? Linked to machine learning? With an active inference twist? . I have a funded PhD in U. of Glasgow looking at how we can learn embeddings of dynamical systems to link humans to machines.
