ERICA - Interaction Mining Mobile Apps

Explore a groundbreaking approach to mobile app design analysis in this 22-minute conference talk from the ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology. Delve into the concept of interaction mining, which captures both static and dynamic components of app design. Learn about ERICA, an innovative system that enables scalable, human-computer interaction mining of existing Android apps without modifications. Discover how the researchers collected interaction traces from over a thousand popular Android apps and used machine learning to detect elements and layouts indicative of 23 common user flows. Gain insights into the creation of the largest online search engine for user flows in Android apps, featuring more than 3000 indexed flow examples. Understand the importance of user flows in UX design and how this research contributes to data-driven app design applications.
