The first lynkmi Pittsburgh meetup 👀 In a tea house of course ❤️

Was a great experience co-designing Peerdea with Prototype PGH, led by Yasmine Kotturi, Ph.D.. Showed me that sometimes, the most effective way to design communication platforms that support safe, inclusive participation is by adopting design processes that mirror those values.#CSCW2024

1/ Social support is key for tech adoption, but what does it look like in the genAI context, with new legal and ethical risks? 🤔 In our ACM CSCW poster paper w/ @YasmineKotturi and Elon’s propaganda machine, we explore this in small business workflows through interviews w/ storyboards. 🧵

Do you work with text data for your job or research? We’d love to talk to you! We're running a paid user study at CMU to understand how people explore and visualize text data while programming—and to gather feedback on our new open-source visualization tool. Details below 👇

✨How can we help communities collaboratively shape policies that impact them? In our #CHI2025 paper, we present PolicyCraft, a system that supports collaborative policy design through case-grounded deliberation. (🧵/11)

I've been quiet for a while on the social media front -- it's been a very busy two years with an international move and setting up a new lab at KAIST, but I wanted to take a moment to highlight some of my students' fantastic new work in the domain of online safety.

Quick essay about a rabbit hole I recently went down that culminated in me making a Wikipedia edit: pranavkhadpe.github.io/reader/?id=683… It's a journey through the writing of B.J. Novak, Douglas Adams, and Jorge Luis Borges that ultimately reveals the genius of B.J. Novak.

It was a dream come true to teach the course I wish existed at the start of my PhD. We built up the algorithmic foundations of modern-day RL, imitation learning, and RLHF, going deeper than the usual "grab bag of tricks". All 25 lectures + 150 pages of notes are now public! 🧵

[Please Repost] 🚀 Super excited to join UVA CS as an Asst. Prof. this Fall! My lab focuses on AI + everyday tech = mental health innovation. Hiring PhD students who want to build technology that truly supports human wellbeing. Please see for more info: subigya.me
