On online platforms, we see robust discussions + debates around mental health. How might these discussions influence experiences of illness, particularly for those in resource-scarce areas? New mixed-methods #CSCW2023 work w/ Neha Kumar Munmun De Choudhury, PhD 🧵 illnessnarratives.sachinpendse.in

Dr. Google is a passé; enter the new “physician,” Dr. ChatGPT. But are LLMs indeed good at answering healthcare queries? How about in different languages? Where do they succeed, and where do they fail? Our new paper explores these questions 🤖🏥 arxiv.org/abs/2310.13132 1/n

Today, patients are switching to Dr. ChatGPT from Dr. Google and startups are promising LLM-based AI partners. But as they say, with great power comes great responsibility. Is the mental health field ready for LLMs? Our preprint explores this question 1/ osf.io/preprints/psya…

🚨Thrilled to announce our CHI'24 workshop: 🧠Theory of Mind in Human-AI Interaction🤖 What is ToM in HAI? Can AI have a ToM? How can we understand human's mental state attribution behaviors (e.g., anthropomorphism) to AI? Submit your work by Feb 22: theoryofmindinhaichi2024.wordpress.com

Congratulations to my incredible advisor Munmun De Choudhury, PhD for her induction into the SIGCHI academy! Her wisdom and enthusiasm have shaped us students so much. So well deserved!🎊 #ProudStudent

🚨 New Research Alert! 🚨 ❓: Mental health misinformation virally spread on video-sharing platforms, but how do we assess its impact? 💡: Analyze viewers’ responses as a proxy of their post-engagement beliefs with LLMs and more. Preprint: arxiv.org/pdf/2407.02662 🧵👇 (1/n)

So proud of Shravika Mittal and Naoki Yokoyama on being named to the second cohort of the Quad Fellowship! This fellowship recognizes the top international minds in STEM, and they've eached earned $40,000 for their research! b.gatech.edu/4fAL9am

⏩ Recognizing the need for a community-centric approach in developing AI methods for societal problems, we partnered with ADL to study anti-Asian violence-provoking speech. Our work shows that LLMs struggle with the nuance & context required for its reliable detection! (3/)

A @georgiatech study found that algorithms struggle to differentiate anti-Asian violence-provoking speech from general hate speech. Left unchecked, threats of violence online can turn into real-world attacks. Check out this story for more about the study: cc.gatech.edu/news/study-hig…

Hire Vedant! I learned so much from his constructive critical mindset and rigorous research skills. He's also an amazing person who brings sparks and joy to every team he’s part of✨

So excited to present our findings of 5 types of muting online and considerations for moderation strategies at #CSCW2024. Read this medium article for a sneak peak. Come to our talk on Tuesday Nov 12 9am-10:30. Muting is violence. Let’s talk about it!

👋Excited to be at #CSCW2024! Let’s connect to discuss human-AI interaction in mental health. I'll be presenting the final piece of my dissertation on Tuesday at 2:30 in Guanacaste 2.

Hola👋 I’m at #CSCW2024 in Costa Rica. Finally be able to attend a conference in person! Happy to chat about misinformation/problematic info, and AI for health:)

Daily dose of gratitude and love for our little academic fam💛

Super honored to receive this award! Congrats to my fellow Foley Scholars and finalists. Huge thanks to my amazing advisor Munmun De Choudhury, PhD and dear friends at IC and SocWeB Lab at Georgia Tech lab for their unwavering intellectual and emotional support💛

I completely relate! This is my first conference and it def feels overwhelming. But I was fortunate to be reminded that in these situations we can find both people to look up to and lean on, and that there are bigger things to focus on that we sometimes forget in the hustle🌦️
