Description: Data-driven models help user interface (UI) designers understand best practices and trends, and can be used to make predictions about design performance and support the creation of adaptive UIs. Current works explored mobile UIs such as RICO, which was collected via a system that combined crowdsourcing and automation to scalably mine design and interaction data from Android apps at runtime. However, there is no available dataset for desktop UIs. This research gap is waiting for you to fill.

Goal: Following prior works that collected datasets of mobile user interfaces [1,2], design and conduct the study to collect and annotate desktop user interfaces.
