My work at #ASSETS2025 (1/3)! 👂 Can AI perceive sound in a way humans prefer and present it clearly? Current tools like Apple Sound Recognition identify labels like “dog barking” or “car honking.” But is that enough for DHH users to understand complex auditory scenes?

Excited to share our work RAVEN, which lets blind blind & low-vision users "talk" to 3D scenes — asking questions or making modifications in real time! 🤯 Xinyun's also seeking AI/XR internships for summer 2026—connect with her!
In #ASSETS25, I will present a Demo of RAVEN 🐦⬛: Realtime Accessibility in Virtual ENvironments for Blind and Low-Vision People! Shoutout to the team @dj_hci, @venkypotluri, @Phylliiiis and @Chenglin791364! Find us at Demo Session C to try it out! Check out this short demo vid😆:

Just out at @PET_Symposium: @yashairavantchi, @PNaeini & @AlansonSample reveal a key gap in IoT privacy research. Their SoK work calls for cross-disciplinary methods + end-to-end evaluation to make privacy both effective and usable. #PETs2025 Read more: https://t.co/7AxIqKmQP0

Again, I think academics have perhaps not quite groked what this sort of wholesale removal of a model means for replication in science. This isn’t versioned or downloadable, and you won’t be able to recreate it
goodbye, GPT-4. you kicked off a revolution. we will proudly keep your weights on a special hard drive to give to some historians in the future.
