BEST panel I ever attended at a conference! Great format and fantastic discussion!
Excited for our #CSCW2024 panel at 2:30 pm today in the Heredia room - "Is Human-AI Interaction CSCW?" This will be presented as a formal debate with me and @msbernst competing against @andresmh and @jeffbigham

somehow I hadn’t noticed that TSA wait times at @PITairport are powered by Zensors! This was originally based on a couple of papers we wrote — great to see how it’s still going! https://t.co/NVNghvOYw9

Queenie officially retired from the @cmuhcii today — as PHD Program Director since the beginning, she has been a part of literally every one of our HCI PhDs journeys, and from the outpouring of thanks it’s clear she is highly appreciated! HCI would be a different field without

this is one of the deepest insights i've gotten from a CHI paper -- not surprised it came from @fabulousQian, @nikola_banovic and @cmuhcii's own JZ if you're creating with GenAI, sit with it for a moment https://t.co/VEXzZXCB6q

pretty good performance for 15 years before LLMs! benchmarks are very different (we didn't try to generate the text to enter into a form field, for instance), but really not that far off ;P

here's a paper by ME from 2009, it used a large corpus of web automation scripts to learn to predict the next action given a description (look familiar??)… we had the user choose which to go forward on to protect agency https://t.co/VKirVH2l6u

there was a lot of stuff back then, one of my favorite is PLOW -- super compelling, it turns out that it's not as hard as you think to do "ok" on agent tasks b/c there's only so many things you can do on a web page This was Best Paper at AAAI in 2007 https://t.co/CCLhmXCIuJ

remember, web/UI agents is a field of AI research that was invented in 2024, and not at all in the early 2000s by AI+HCI people ;P

It was fun chairing #UIST2024 with @lining_yao and @hciprof! And it was great to have @wobbrockjo give the closing talk on his super impactful work. He started his talk with this quote from Scott Hudson.

I brought my two older kids to the #uist2024 demo session last night -- @AmandaL79938988 & @jasonwuishere did a great job presenting our work on user interface design evaluation to them, … but I think they were more excited about the VR demos :)

understanding whether a UI design is good is important for understanding user interfaces & vital for automatic UI generation at #uist2024, we presented a significant step forward in automatic UI evaluation - check out thread below! (paper: https://t.co/7t7ONEOcM8)
When you ask an LLM to generate a UI, how do you know if it's good? It is often easy to recognize a good design but difficult to explain why and reason about/evaluate tradeoffs. UIClip is a data-driven model that assigns numerical scores to represent quality of UI screenshots

another heads up for #UIST2024 folks -- the buses from downtown (westin) to CMU are pretty fast and frequent -- best is the 67 (but it's hourly), the 61s come every 10 minutes or so -- buy a ticket in the Transit app ($2.75) or on board

Queenie has been the foundation of the @cmuhcii program for its whole existence -- amazing impact on HCI as a field through development and support of everyone who has graduated from our program!
Please join us in congratulating longtime staff member, Queenie Kravitz, on her retirement today. She started @CarnegieMellon in 1993 and the HCII in 2004, and as graduate program coordinator certified our very first HCI PhD and master's degrees. Congrats, Queenie! #CMUhcii

I've learned a lot about robotics from @hadmoni -- now you can too! It's kind of a kids book, but I'm learning a lot, great accessible overview! https://t.co/3YCajwc26N

cars do not stop for pedestrians unless the pedestrians put themselves into danger, and then you risk them coming after you mad b/c you made them stop
Police departments run marketing campaigns blaming pedestrians for not being visible enough. But they know visibility doesn't slow down drivers. Here's an SFPD speed trap 👇
