New Research Theme Focuses on Evidence-Rich Interfaces

Jul 24, 2026

The lab is opening a research theme on interfaces that help people inspect evidence, compare claims, and understand uncertainty.

Evidence-rich interfaces bring data, model output, limitations, and human interpretation into the same reading environment. The theme will investigate how structure and interaction can improve judgment rather than simply present more information.

Why Evidence-Rich Interfaces

The new theme studies interfaces that keep supporting evidence visible at the moment of decision, instead of hiding it behind reports and appendices.

Design Principles

Early work focuses on principles for showing provenance, uncertainty, and conflicting findings without overwhelming the reader.

Planned Studies

The group will run comparative studies measuring how evidence display changes the quality and confidence of expert judgments.

Early explorations will include comparison views, evidence cards, uncertainty labels, and visual summaries for mixed audiences.
