The decision to bring back the 10 page limit for @ACMUIST #UIST2026 was a genius move—it is much more enjoyable now to review papers, at scale, than it was before. (And, fitting figures in isn't so bad as long as usage of the Appendix isn't frowned upon.) Thank you, PC chairs.

I’m not attending #CHI2026, but I’ll be part of this lecture series. In the coming weeks, I’ll be giving two talks: “🫂 Research community,” on joining a research community, and “🛠️ DevOps for research,” on using tools to support research.
The lecture "Non-Research Tips for Information Science Researchers" will be held tomorrow during the 2nd period 👏 We will systematically explain "non-research skills" essential for advancing research. w/ @bravery_ @koya_narumi @arcatdmz #non_research_tips non-research-tips.github.io/…

Writing an HCI paper about an AI-powered system to a venue like UIST 2026 or CHI 2027? Wondering what reviewers expect you to report, and how to approach paper framing and writing? Check out our reporting guidelines: medium.com/p/7c3ae86341e3?po…

To date, HCI researchers have had no support on signaling their paper's relevance to AI, esp. when that connection is tenuous at best. We introduce a systematic framework to ensure LLMs are mentioned at every stage of paper reporting—from framing, to evaluation, to implications.

Featuring Jingyi, Jane, Shm, Kumiyo, and myself, the seminar went beyond technical CSTs to discuss creative processes, expertise, and cultures.

“[S]ystem building efforts were a lot more exciting and had greater impact—in no small part because we thought long and hard about how the systems ended up getting adopted and used!” 👏

Blog Post: Looking back on the first decade as faculty (2014-2024).
I list my favorite papers from the decade, why I enjoyed working on them, and provide backstory and reflection.

Just wrapped up my very first international conference (I've never even written a paper before, so started from learning LaTeX actually) As an creative practitioner in the wild, being welcomed here was such a rare and rewarding experience. #UIST2025

Good morning #UIST2025! Right after the keynote, head to “Sydney” to see a new set of GUI widgets designed by/for creative professionals. No AI, but/and I’d promise it’s very good.
Program: programs.sigchi.org/uist/202…
Paper: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/37460…
Code/demo: baku89.github.io/tweeq/
Super excited that our paper, co-authored with @junkato, on parameter-tuning widgets for creative software has been accepted to #UIST2025. It’s my first academic paper ever, which makes it way more special. #tweeqjs

We miss you @IanArawjo in this workshop! (but glad that @roboticwrestler makes it…)

Join our #UIST2025 workshop in Busan! 🇰🇷
📅 longitudinal-workshop.github…
we, HCI people, build systems to address user challenges
but beyond that “1-hr single-session” testing, how can we truly show tools’ novelty, UX, impact? how users learn, adapt?
🧩 long-term eval helps 🌱

Interested? I’ll be at UIST 2025 with @_baku89, co-authoring a paper on GUI widget design by/for creative professionals: programs.sigchi.org/uist/202…
I also plan to join the workshop on longitudinal interaction studies: longitudinal-workshop.github…
See you there!
