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.

Live visual descriptions can aid blind people in understanding their surroundings with autonomy and independence. In our #UIST2024 work, we present WorldScribe that generates automated visual descriptions that are adaptive to the users’ contexts in real-time, in the real world.

[Transformer] by Hand ✍️
Make Your Own 🛠️👉 by-hand.ai/sp/tfmr
Over the past few months, I've collaborated with several AI educators to customize my AI by Hand exercises. I am glad that my materials are being used and appreciated in many classrooms around the world!
However, because the customization process is entirely by hand, sometimes my solution contains errors, only to be caught by students, which actually made me happy that students are paying attention. 😅
Lately, I have been thinking about developing a tool to let people create their own AI by Hand exercises, with custom numbers and solutions.
After considering a range of technologies, I decided to use Google Sheets. My goal is to maximize reach and broaden access.
Because this tool is still in the early stage, I would really appreciate your feedback!
What other topics do you want to see next?

Can we trust foundation models to accurately tell us if we have COVID or if someone is pregnant? It turns out that there is still a long way to go before we can trust these models! Check out our recent paper (to be presented at @CVPR DEF-AI-MIA) lead by Stuti Pandey!

We revamped the curriculum to take into account recent advances in LLMs, and we have a new assignment "build-your-own-LLaMa".

Huge amount of awesome new #accessibility features coming to Apple platforms this year. My favorites are a new reader mode added to Magnifier and Hover Typing (a large-text typing experience on iOS). Another great Global Accessibility Awareness Day! apple.com/newsroom/2024/05/a…

Can't wait to present this work at #chi2024! This work built on a 4-year partnership w/ entrepreneurial hub @CommForgePGH - we provide a rich, qualitative account of the overlooked digital skills and supporting tech required for entrepreneurs to derive actual value from genAI
upcoming #chi2024 paper w/ @yasminekotturi -- we designed workshops to onboard local entrepreneurs to genAI for small business, w/ great lessons on scaffolding actionable use and also deconstructing what we call the "veneer of simplicity" w/ genAI

ALT Deconstructing the Veneer of Simplicity: Co-Designing Introductory Generative AI Workshops with Local Entrepreneurs Yasmine Kotturi, Angel Anderson, Glenn Ford, Michael Skirpan, Jeffrey Bigham In this paper, we designed an interactive workshops series aimed to onboard local entrepreneurs to generative AI platforms for small business. We detail the importance of communal and supportive exposure to generative AI tools for local entrepreneurs, scaffolding actionable use (and supporting non-use), demystifying generative AI technologies by emphasizing entrepreneurial power, while simultaneously deconstructing the veneer of simplicity to address the many operational skills needed for successful application.

In light of discussions of HCI's relevance to ML alignment, I wrote up some thoughts.
TLDR: HCI perspective has lots to offer, but pointing to common goals won't have impact. If you really care, invest enough in understanding ML to show how you can help

What does ML model compression have to do with HCI and design?
Over the past few years @Apple we've been working in this intersection, and I’m excited to share 2 new papers on compression in practice and the importance of interactive tools.
Catch them back-to-back at #CHI2024!
