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! cs.cmu.edu/~jbigham/pubs/pdf… cs.cmu.edu/~jbigham/pubs/pdf…

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 Queenie’s care, compassion and leadership!

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 dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3…

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

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 webinsight.cs.washington.edu…

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

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: arxiv.org/abs/2404.12500)

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! amazon.com/Robots-Explore-Wo…

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 👇
