Feature in the Chronicle about our work on Interactive Explainable Ranking, which won a Best Paper Award at #CHI2026! We use optimization, AI, and interaction design to help people make more explainable and consistent decisions. Huge congrats to first author @zhangchaodesign!
A new AI tool, Interactive Explainable Ranking, developed at @Cornell_Bowers, is designed to help users rank a set of choices – job applicants, graduate schools, even Oscar candidates. VIDEO @acm_chi @AbeDavis @CornellGrad news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

AI is powerful, but its biggest impact so far has been to erase *useful* friction: proof-of-work we used to assess candidates, curate content, confirm (human) learning, and make fraud harder to scale. "AI slop" is a cute term for something with potentially terrifying consequences

Excited to share our ACM TOG/ SIGGRAPH '25 work on Noise-Coded Illumination (NCI)! We use coded noise to add an invisible watermark to lighting that helps detect fake or manipulated video. With @gfxptr and collaborators @zekun_hao and @SergeBelongie. url: peterfmichael.com/nci/

Really nice of the authors to highlight a change like this on social media. In the age of Arxiv and Twitter where review often follows exposure I hope we can normalize follow-ups like this. Also, for the curious, here's a fun video from the older work:

We posted an updated version of Generative Image Dynamics to arXiv---the biggest change is to better contextualize our method with respect to prior work in image space motion analysis, especially the great work of @AbeDavis

Thank you @_akhaliq for sharing!
At #ICCV2023, we will present a light-field-inspired method for viewpoint control over generative image models!
Come visit our poster on Friday!
