Ever wondered if more AI help actually makes us learn or think less?
I’ll be talking about this at #CSCW2025 — AI & Writing Session🗓️ Tue, Oct 21 | 11:00 AM
Paper: dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3…

Sadly I won’t be at UIST (visa issues), but @Phylliiiis will present our paper on Tue, Sep 30 | 1:30–3:00 PM in the Capri room. She’s looking for PhD positions for next fall—please come see her talk!
Excited to share that our work 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗮, a system for visually interpreting and synthesizing feedback for writing revision, has been accepted to #UIST2025! Watch our preview video and stay tuned. Paper is coming soon! w/ @phylliiiis @frankzhuolunhan @gracetfg2 @jeffrzesz

Excited to be presenting at #PyTorchConference 2025 (Oct 22–23, SF)! 🎉
I’ll share TrainCheck — detecting silent bugs in deep learning training via invariant inference & proactive checks across model/optimizer/data states.
Looking forward to connecting with the PyTorch community!

Excited to have worked on Synthia! 🤩 It empowers feedback synthesis by transforming the traditional, linear revision process into a dynamic, evolving exploration where writers can experiment with different feedback combinations.

This project introduced me to the HCI research field and I learned a lot from my peers and mentors. Come and see how we reshape human-AI interaction in learning to balance the efficiency with deep reflection!
🤔 Can human-AI interaction not just speed up writing revision, but deepen reflection too?
🌟 Come see our #CHI2025 presentation:
"Friction: Deciphering Writing Feedback into Writing Revisions through LLM-Assisted Reflection"
🗓️ Wed, Apr 30
🕓 4:20-5:50 PM
📍 Room G416+G417

First formal concert of our REAL A Cappella at Cornell, and we are going to hold a more formal and larger one in April 2023!
Is there anything about A Cappella that you are particularly interested in?
