I will be at EMNLP 2025 in Miami presenting our Main conference paper on how Human & AI perform on cognitively demanding creative thinking tasks (Nov 13th 4 PM) I am also recruiting PhD students at Stony Brook University Dept. of Computer Science starting Fall 2025. Details on my webpage. Say hi #NLProc
Can laws be translated into software? In a new study, Nel Escher Jeffrey Bilik Nikola Banovic and I show that the translation process is rife with misunderstandings, leading to errors and policy distortions in legal software. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…
Honored and humbled to awarded the 2024 Google PhD Fellow in #NLProc. Thankful to my advisor Kentaro Toyama, my mentors & collaborators Sunayana Sitaram and Jiyin Cao and friends School of Information for their support. Thank you Google AI for the honor.
📢I’m recruiting Ph.D students this cycle Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan , to invent and study mechanisms to support human expertise development, projects incl authoring techniques for tutoring systems, LLM-powered learning companions, simulated students, physical task tutoring, and more!
How well can VLMs detect and explain humans' procedural mistakes, like in cooking or assembly? 🧑🍳🧑🔧 My new pre-print with Itamar Bar-Yossef, Yayuan Li, Brian Zheyuan Zhang, Jason Corso, and Joyce Chai (Michigan SLED Lab MichiganAI Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan) dives into this! arxiv.org/pdf/2412.11927
Now accepted to #chi2025 ACM CHI Conference . Super stoked for Japan 🇯🇵
New Ai2 paper accepted to #NAACL2025! We worked with Teaching Lab and ASSISTments to create a new dataset for evaluating VLMs. DrawEduMath includes 2,030 teacher-annotated images of students’ handwritten responses to math problems. Website: drawedumath.org
First CfP for #EMNLP2025 is live now. Submission deadline to May ARR cycle! Excited to be part of organizing the conference as publicity chair w/ Aaron Mueller Dallas Card so watch out for more updates esp by following the official conf account EMNLP 2025
New preprint out! GenAI is changing how we think 🧠 This work reviews its cognitive impacts. Using Bloom’s Taxonomy & Dewey’s theory of reflective thinking, it unpacks *how* it affects human cognition. arxiv.org/abs/2502.12447 With Karan Taneja Klara Guan Avijit Ghosh 🧵
😓 #AI co-pilots excel in information work, but what about emotional ones? Working with angry clients harms #MentalHealth 🫂 Our #CHI2025 paper w/ Microsoft Research introduces Care-Pilot, an AI-agent to empathetically support workers. #FutureOfWork bit.ly/carepilot2 [1/7]
