I’m really excited to share our work on Improving Human-AI Partnerships in Child Welfare: Understanding Worker Practices, Challenges, and Desires for Algorithmic Decision Support, which won a Best Paper Honorable Mention Award🏅 at #CHI22! Preprint: arxiv.org/pdf/2204.02310…🧵]

In our new paper, we find that the Allegheny Family Screening Tool (AFST) would’ve investigated more Black families than workers actually did. That’s surprising, because CPS workers already make disparate decisions. Link: dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.114… #CHI22 🧵

We've heard that human-AI collaboration can improve decisions, but will it increase or decrease racial disparities? Come find out and chat with me & Logan Stapleton in today's #CHI2022 Bias and Ethics session at 14:15 CT! dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.114…

Wonderful to see ⁦GroupLens⁩ family & friends at #CHI2022 in #NOLA. ❤️

I am presenting remotely our work in understanding people’s at-home multi-device usage tomorrow at 10AM CDT during the session “Interaction Schemes and Patterns I” at #CHI2022! (1/n) dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/34…

We're midway of this summer's #REU program at UMN Computer Science & Engineering GroupLens led by Evan Suma Rosenberg and Lana Yarosh. The awesome student I am working with, Noah Gersich from University of Illinois @IllinoisCS, is showing the research team an #AR prototype he's been working on :)

In our upcoming #CSCW2022 paper, we asked how Wikipedians think content should be prioritized. The results revealed mismatches between their stated values and their decisions. Read about it in our blog post (and pre-print)! grouplens.org/blog/what-wiki…

Please RT - We're looking for participants who have recently been diagnosed, or self-diagnosed, with a mental illness to learn more about how online platforms helped, or hindered, the process! For more info and to sign up follow the link: umn.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bq…

We've had some folks ask for more time, so we're *extending the submission deadline by a week* Please submit by Monday, October 17th! We'll review submissions and get back to everyone by October 24th. If you have any questions, please DM me! Thank you all!

Congrats to @GroupLens alum Estelle Smith 🌟 as she prepares to welcome Alemitu Bezabih (PhD) as a postdoctoral scholar and the very first member of her research lab CS@Mines. 👏Cheering you both on from MN!

One of our current students will be giving a talk about his work with child welfare and predictive algorithms at UBuffalo!

Howdy, We're tracking an outage for the grouplens website right now. Our team is looking into it. No ETA on restoration right now, but the datasets are still accessible at an alternate DNS: cse-grouplens-prd-web.oit.umn.edu/datasets/

Howdy, Grouplens.org is back up. Sorry about the downtime. We'll sort out how this happened, and do our best to avoid this happening again in the future.
