Jin Guo of McGill University and Jinghui Cheng of Polytechnique Montréal were awarded a research grant to study the usability of large-userbase scientific open source software containing GUIs. They will build on their expertise in Natural Language Processing and collaborative design frameworks as they implement solutions for improved usability. Check out some of their recent work here, here, and here.
