How to Manage Output Uncertainty: Targeting the Actual End User Problem in Interactions with AI
2021
International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces
To enable effective management of output uncertainty, we believe it is necessary to focus on truly human-centered AI designs that keep the human in an active role of control. ...
Transparency and explainability should therefore not be the end goals, as such a focus tends to place the human into a passive supervisory role in what is in reality an algorithm-centered system design ...

Incorporating user values into climate services
2019
Bulletin of The American Meteorological Society - (BAMS)
What numerical value should be assigned to this parameter in the model? In some cases, there is substantial uncertainty about which option will give the most accurate results. ...
Yet often there is significant uncertainty about which information sources are most accurate, especially in the case of model projections (Collins 2017) . ...

A Vision for Numerical Weather Prediction in 2030
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
In this essay, I outline a personal vision of how I think Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) should evolve in the years leading up to 2030 and hence what it should look like in 2030. ...
Here I want to focus on how NWP can better help save lives from increasingly extreme weather in those parts of the world where society is most vulnerable. ...

Methods for Exploring Uncertainty in Groundwater Management Predictions
[chapter]
2016
Integrated Groundwater Management
This chapter provides an overview of uncertainty in models and in the definition of a problem to model, highlights approaches to communicating and using predictions of uncertain outcomes and summarises ...
It is intended to raise awareness of how alternative models and hence uncertainty can be explored in order to facilitate the integration of these techniques with groundwater management. ...
In these cases, it is considered good practice to present "the modeller's estimate of the representative uncertainty given what is known about the system, the type of prediction(s), and the modeller's ...

User responses to imperfect forecasts: Findings from an experiment with Kentucky wheat farmers
2019
Weather, Climate, and Society
We do this in the context of a very specific management choice-the timing and amount of nitrogen that Kentucky farmers apply to their wheat in early spring-in response to randomly generated 6-to-10-day ...
We find that forecasts provide economically significant value to decision-makers only when they depart dramatically from what is normally expected. ...
We are deeply appreciative of Matt Dixon and Rezaul Mahmood, who shared their time and expertise in helping us to understand the meteorological literature and the local precipitation data. ...
