Excited to present this paper in-person at #FAccT22! I'll share our translation of sensemaking theory from org studies for envisioning new ways to think about interpretability and explainability. Join in Thursday @ 1pm KST, Room 209, Session 9D #FAccT2022 dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/35…

They kept saying that I looked like an “older, retired Tom Holland”. And now my PhD students have celebrated my birthday with the most on-brand custom bobblehead possible.

Are you someone who works with datasets and ML models in their day-to-day work? If you're a ML practitioner or data scientist, please help us by completing a brief exploratory data science task. Link: umich.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_a4… Please RT and share with folks who might be interested!

How might an online community look after many people join? My paper w/ lindsay popowski @Carryveggies Meredith Ringel Morris Percy Liang Michael Bernstein introduces "social simulacra": a method of generating compelling social behaviors to prototype social designs 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2208.04024 #uist2022

Do you author ML models in your work? Have you ever struggled to reason over the values encoded in your models? We’d like to invite you to participate in a 1-hour remote study using an interactive model authoring tool in Colab. RTs appreciated! Signup: hci.st/model-auth-stu…

Today, technical experts hold the tools to conduct system-scale algorithm audits, so they largely decide what algorithmic harms are surfaced. Our #cscw2022 paper asks: how could *everyday users* explore where a system disagrees with their perspectives? hci.st/end-user-audit 🧵

Beyond excited to join MIT EECS MIT CSAIL as an assistant professor, starting fall 2024! I’m so lucky to have had Michael Bernstein James Landay Tatsunori Hashimoto kayur as my advisors and mentors at Stanford. I can’t thank you all enough!

So excited for this workshop, come join us!

I've been wrestling with the gap between HCI curricula, which tend to focus on the design process, and the big theories and ideas that animate us in HCI. Here's a model that has starting working well at Stanford Human-Computer Interaction Group: medium.com/@msbernst/teac…

Hey! So Cat Bohannon, the much more talented human that I share my life with, wrote a book. It’s out today. theguardian.com/books/2023/sep…

I am recruiting PhD students for Fall 2024 to join me (and GroupLens ) at UMN Computer Science & Engineering! If you're interested in human-centered AI, explainability, or hybrid intelligence systems, please consider applying here cse.umn.edu/cs/phd-admissi… Please RT or DM me if you know of folks!

🎉So excited that my first HCI paper "Cura: Curation at Social Media Scale" has won Best Paper Award at CSCW! I want to give a huge thank you to my collaborators Michael Bernstein Mitchell Gordon lindsay popowski! I'll be presenting this work at the conference. See you soon! #cscw2023

Curation modeling, Wanrong (Sophia) He’s Best Paper winner at CSCW, demonstrates a method for social media to better maintain norms by naming curators and using community upvotes to estimate whether those curators would want each piece of content in the community.

I’m recruiting PhD students and there are still a few days left to apply! If you’re excited about working at the intersection of HCI and AI, come join my new group MIT EECS. Please submit at gradapply.mit.edu/eecs by 12/15!

📅 Due to high demand, we've extended the submission deadline to Sep 10, 2024! 📢 We look forward to your submissions! 🔗 Call For Papers: pluralistic-alignment.github.io

We know it’s a busy time of year ✍️ so we’ve extended the deadline by a few days. Now you have no excuse to not submit a paper to this workshop! 😉

a bit of a late announcement... I will be starting next year as an assistant professor at NUS Computing (and am recruiting students!) and just started a postdoc with James Landay Stanford HAI :) thank you to all of my mentors and friends for the support throughout this journey 💜

We’ve spent the last few days doing a deep dive on what went wrong with last week’s GPT-4o update in ChatGPT. Expanding on what we missed with sycophancy and the changes we’re going to make in the future: openai.com/index/expandin…
