• Abstract: Today's businesses face a high pressure to innovate in order to succeed in highly competitive markets. Successful innovations, though, typically require the identification and analysis of customer needs. While traditional, established need elicitation methods are time-proven and have demonstrated their capabilities to deliver valuable insights, they lack automation and scalability and, thus, are expensive and time-consuming. In this article, we propose an approach to automatically identify and quantify customer needs by utilizing a novel data source: Users voluntarily and publicly expose information about themselves via social media, as for instance Facebook or Twitter. These posts may contain valuable information about the needs, wants, and demands of their authors. We apply a Design Science Research (DSR) methodology to add design knowledge and artifacts for the digitalization of innovation processes, in particular to provide digital support for the elicitation of customer needs. We want to investigate whether automated, speedy, and scalable need elicitation from social media is feasible. We concentrate on Twitter as a data source and on e-mobility as an application domain. In a first design cycle we conceive, implement and evaluate a method to demonstrate the feasibility of identifying those social media posts that actually express customer needs. In a second cycle, we build on this artifact to additionally quantify the need information elicited, and prove its feasibility. Third, we integrate both developed methods into an end-user software artifact and test usability in an industrial use case. Thus, we add new methods for need elicitation to the body of knowledge, and introduce concrete tooling for innovation management in practice.

  We show the possibility of substituting manually created ML pipelines with automated machine learning (AutoML) solutions. Based on the CRISP-DM process, we split the manual ML pipeline into a machine learning and non-machine learning part. We show in a case study for the industrial use case of price forecasting, that domain knowledge combined with AutoML can weaken the dependence on ML experts.

  There is a certain consensus about the need to develop AI applications with a Human-Centric approach. Human-Centric Machine Learning needs to be developed based on four main requirements: (i) utility and social good; (ii) privacy and data ownership; (iii) transparency and accountability; and (iv) fairness in AI-driven decision-making processes. We study how current multimodal algorithms based on heterogeneous sources of information are affected by sensitive elements and inner biases in the data.
