RISDo Human and Computational Evaluations of Similarity Align? An Empirical Study of Product Function
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Function drives many early design considerations in product development, highlighting the importance of finding functionally similar examples if searching for sources of inspiration or evaluating designs against existing ...
Comparing and Evaluating Human and Computationally Derived Representations of Non-Semantic Design Information
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design artifacts provide a mechanism for illustrating design information and concepts, but their effectiveness relies on alignment across design agents in what these artifacts represent. This work investigates the agreement ...
Inside the Mind: Using Neuroimaging to Understand Moral Product Preference Judgments Involving Sustainability
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Trying to decide whether to purchase a sustainable product often puts decision makers in a difficult situation, especially if the more sustainable option provides less desirable features or costs a premium. This paper ...
Adaptive Inspirational Design Stimuli: Using Design Output to Computationally Search for Stimuli That Impact Concept Generation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design activity can be supported using inspirational stimuli (e.g., analogies, patents) by helping designers overcome impasses or in generating solutions with more positive characteristics during ideation. Design researchers ...
Do Large Language Models Produce Diverse Design Concepts? A Comparative Study with Human-Crowdsourced Solutions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Access to large amounts of diverse design solutions can support designers during the early stage of the design process. In this article, we explored the efficacy of large language models (LLMs) in producing diverse design ...
The Evolution and Impact of Human Confidence in Artificial Intelligence and in Themselves on AI-Assisted Decision-Making in Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Decision-making assistance by artificial intelligence (AI) during design is only effective when human designers properly utilize the AI input. However, designers often misjudge the AI’s and/or their own ability, leading ...
Framing and Tracing Human-Centered Design Teams’ Method Selection: An Examination of Decision-Making Strategies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Designers’ choices of methods are well known to shape project outcomes. However, questions remain about why design teams select particular methods and how teams’ decision-making strategies are influenced by project- and ...
Embedding Experiential Design Knowledge in Interactive Knowledge Graphs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Knowledge collection, extraction, and organization are critical activities in all aspects of the engineering design process. However, it remains challenging to surface and organize design knowledge, which often contains ...
Wisdom of Microcrowds in Evaluating Solutions to Esoteric Engineering Problems
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A multitude of studies in economics, psychology, political and social sciences have demonstrated the wisdom of crowds (WoC) phenomenon, where the collective estimate of a group can be more accurate than estimates of ...
