Come visit posters and talks from the ELC Lab at #CogSci2021!

Day 3: Supercool papers by hollyhuey & Sebastian Holt investigating how people use graphical representations to communicate about abstract concepts like causality & number. And fascinating study led by Will McCarthy exploring links btw perceptual & procedural abstractions.

When people are asked to draw devices, they include more causal parts, more symbols, less structural information, and more spatial distortions if their goal is to explain the device rather than depict it. Research by hollyhuey et al. at #SPP2022

Folks @#CogSci2022, I’ll be giving a talk on work w/ Haoliang Wang Justin Yang Suvir Mirchandani Erdem Bıyık Dorsa Sadigh & Judy Fan exploring how people incorporate advice from artificial agents when making physical judgments (paper arxiv.org/abs/2205.11613 repo tinyurl.com/2ca426z6)

Cognitive scientists! You don’t want to miss our #CogSci2023 Workshop: “How does the mind discover useful abstractions?” cogsci-abstractions-workshop.github.io Co-organized w/ the peerless Wai Keen Vong + Lio Wong + Marcelo Mattar!

Judy Fan presenting one of my favorite recent papers looking at how concept libraries inform how we use language #cosmos2023 arxiv.org/abs/2205.05666

Our #UIST2023 Closing keynote will be Stanford Psychology Prof. Judy Fan (Judy Fan) who will discuss “Cognitive Tools for Uncovering Useful Abstractions" programs.sigchi.org/uist/2023/prog…

New #ICCV2025 paper: ✨ Aligning Constraint Generation with Design Intent in Parametric CAD ⚙️ We apply post-training techniques to the task of generating engineering sketch constraints found in parametric CAD, using a constraint solver for verifiable rewards.
