I was very happy to attend my first CHI conference in my second year of Ph.D. Study. I gave my first CHI presentation in conversational agents and responsible AI session. I am grateful to meet that many amazing people who inspired my thoughts for my research. Thanks #CHI24.

HCI researcher's paradox: step 1: Realize that we shouldn't just use LLMs to solve any problem. Step 2: Go ahead and apply LLMs to some random problem anyway and write a CHI paper about it. P.S. I might be a victim of this paradox too :-)

Invited Talks are the students' favorite part of CSE333 Intro to HCI every year. This year we were lucky to have @hcibabyuran, Hyeon Jeon, and Taejun Kim! Thanks for sharing your exciting HCI research in different time zones and traveling with a suitcase for in-person demo!

Thank you for the invite --- was an exciting and interesting experience to share my research with undergraduates 😃

Apply to be a student volunteer (SV) in IEEE VIS 2024!! Please refer to vissv.org for more details --- see you in Florida!! Form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Today, Donghoon Shin gave a talk entitled "Leveraging Generative AI to Assist Designers in Performing Evidence-based Design Activities" at Seoul National University !! Thanks Donghoon for an insightful and interesting talk 🙃🙃🙃

I think this take is pretty spot on. The HCI community has spent so much energy on flag-planting papers and low-hanging fruit with LLMs. This trend has taken resources and attention away from deeper, more rigorous, and more impactful work. We’re following ML’s race to the bottom.

This evening, members of the core committee, VEC, and IEEE met with the TradeWinds Island Grand Hotel manager for an update on the status of the damages. Unfortunately, the damages are significant enough that we will be unable to hold IEEE VIS 2024 on their property.

🚀Excited to present Diffusion Explainer at the IEEE VIS tomorrow at 1:45pm EST in the AI & LLM session! Try it now: poloclub.github.io/diffusion-expl… #StableDiffusion #GenerativeAI #AI #Visualization #IEEEVIS2024

Please join our IEEE VIS panel "(Yet Another) Evaluation Needed?" via Zoom!! 10:15 AM EDT!! We will discuss how many evaluations are necessary to validate research contributions effectively in the visualization field!! vis-panel-enough-evaluation.github.io

Thrilled to receive the Google PhD Fellowship in Human-Computer Interaction and Visualization!! Special thanks to my advisor, Jinwook, wonderful collaborators, Seoul National University, and IEEE VIS community for providing me unlimited support!! Also appreciate Google AI for the honor!!

Hope every "student" has successfully submitted their papers to IEEE VIS #vis2025!! Now it's time to apply for a student volunteer (SV)! (~Aug 16th) Being an SV helps you connect with fellow students and seniors; it also provides financial support!! vissv.github.io

(1/3) 🚀 Excited to present our work at #CHI2025! Leveraging Multimodal LLM for Inspirational UI Search Session 📍 Innovations in Interaction Design 🗓️ Tue, Apr 29 | 11:10 AM – 12:40 PM | Annex Hall F206

Now is a new application period, during which I received several requests to share my application materials for the Google Ph.D. fellowship. As I benefited from publicly shared resources for my application, I am also making my materials available. hyeonword.com/google_fellows…

The 3rd Korea visualization (K-VIS 2025) workshop will be held at @postech2020 on 11th July (Fri)!! We welcome all those interested in data visualization research (from not only Korea but also other countries) to attend. Visit koreavis.org/2025 to register!

Stop Misusing t-SNE and UMAP! (1) "Verifies" common misuse of t-SNE and UMAP, (2) reveals the causes behind, and (3) guides how to use them properly IEEE VIS review said "I do not agree" 🥲 Still, we will keep our effort to disseminate this message 🤣 arxiv.org/abs/2506.08725
