We are still looking for research interns for summer 2024. I am specifically in need of candidates who have an NLP + visual analytics background to work with me. Do get in touch if you know someone!

How can we design "pedagogical" LLM-powered coding assistants? Check out our conditionally accepted #CHI2024 paper, introducing CodeAid, its large classroom deployment, interviews with educators, and design implications for pedagogical AI assistants arxiv.org/abs/2401.11314 1/5

📢#CHI2024 Paper: Using tools like ChatGPT can feel like the Hot-or-Cold guessing game, finding the right prompt to get the response you want! We examine the cognitive challenges people face in translating their intentions into prompts and make recommendations for GenAI designers

Now in 21 cities. Nearing 1 million labeled sidewalk images. Join us: projectsidewalk.org 🥳🚀

Huge news: using Project Sidewalk and steadfast community advocacy, Chicago's Ward 3 is fixing some high-priority sidewalk accessibility issues, including missing or damaged detectable warning surfaces on curb ramps and resurfacing damaged sidewalks.

If you are a current HCI student in the US with experience in AR/VR software development and interested in accessibility looking for an internship (summer and fall) reach out to me!

Saw this new article Upol Ehsan shared and wanted to reshare a GoogleDoc I started last year on responding to common qualitative research critiques. You are welcome to contribute! Most people who have added examples so far have been HCI folks. docs.google.com/document/d/1jH…

Congratulations to University of Washington UW Engineering #UWAllen alum Nicola Dell (Ph.D., '15), now a faculty member at Cornell University, on her selection as a 2024 #MacFellow, a.k.a. the genius grant! 💜 🏆 #UWalum #ThisIsUW

Very well deserved! I love the problem of live descriptions for the blind while making it adaptive to the sound environment! Special interest to me as it combines the vision from my past internship work at Microsoft Research and my current work on Audio AR at Accenture Labs! 👏👏👏

📢📢 I'm recruiting 2 PhD students this cycle to join the UMich Human-AI Lab, focusing on AI & Accessibility, and multimodal AR systems. If you are interested in the type of work we do, e.g., ProgramAlly, WorldScribe, SoundShift, BrushLens, please apply! #uist2024 #assets2024
