Videos are fun to watch, but editing them ourselves can be challenging! Next week at ACM IUI 2026 '24, I will be presenting #LAVE, a video editing tool that integrates an LLM agent to collaborate with users, exploring the future of agent-assisted content editing.

(1/9) Robots today are not expressive but have to perform tasks in environments where communicating with humans is critical. We appropriate LLMs which have shown the capability to create task plans and write policy code, to make robots more expressive.

📢📢📢 A pulse of light takes ~3ns to pass through a Coke bottle—100 million times less than it takes you to blink. Our work lets you fly around this 3D scene at the speed of light, revealing propagating wavefronts of light that are invisible to the naked eye—from any viewpoint!

Come check out COGGRAPH this summer (coggraph.github.io)!! It's an awesome workshop that's bringing together an interdisciplinary community of Graphics🫖, CogSci🧠,Visualization📈, and HCI🖥️ researchers🤝!! Super excited for all the vibrant discussions!

📢📢 Wanted to share something I've been working on - an open source library to make it dead simple to run 100s of experiments from a simple Python script / notebook (soon on remote GPUs). You can try it with `pip install haipera` and is open source! github.com/haipera/haipera

I left my job at NVIDIA last year... and now I co-founded @outerbasis and started a position as ceo sararīman!! (also we're part of the current Y Combinator S24 batch 😎) With new tech come new formats, and with new formats come new distribution tech. We've seen this with

DM 1.5 is the best model we have released ! Way better text to video, better text rendering, better prompt following 🥰 So excited for the future!! ❤️❤️❤️ Try out v1.5 at: lumalabs.ai/dream-machine

🌟 I am looking to hire research interns at #Adobe for Summer 2025. If you are a student in HCI/AI and passionate about inventing the future of human-AI co-creation for video or audio (e.g., speech/music), please email me or chat with me at #UIST2024 next week! RT appreciated!

I am on the job market, seeking tenure-track or industry research positions starting in 2025. My research combines human-computer interaction and robotics—please visit karthikmahadevan.ca for updated publications and CV. Feel free to reach out if interested. RT appreciated!

Hi friends, excited to share a new paper on data visualization literacy 🧠📈 w/ Judy Fan, Arnav Verma, hollyhuey, Hannah Lloyd, and Lace Padilla! 📝 preprint: osf.io/preprints/psya… 💻 code: github.com/cogtoolslab/vi… For those on bluesky, join the conversation there!

We’re working on developing those now! Stay tuned for updates from us at Project Nightingale (project-nightingale.stanford.edu)—a new collaborative effort to advance the science of how people reason about data!

Come check out our amazing online and in-person workshop, Minds in the Making, this summer (minds-making.github.io)! We're bringing together an interdisciplinary community of researchers in CogSci 🧠, HCI 🖌️, & Graphics 🫖!

I've recently started my job as an asst professor at NTU, Singapore. If you are ever in town come say hi :)

📣📣📣 Neural Inverse Rendering from Propagating Light 💡 just won Best Student Paper award at #CVPR!!!

Thrilled to join the UMich faculty in 2026! I'll also be recruiting PhD students this upcoming cycle. If you're interested in AI and formal reasoning, consider applying!

How do people reason while still staying coherent – as if they have an internal ‘world model’ for situations they’ve never encountered? A new paper on open-world cognition (preview at the world models workshop at #ICML2025!)

Thrilled to welcome members of CogSci Society to the SF/Bay area for #CogSci2025 this week! Here's a preview of what the Cognitive Tools Lab 🧠🛠️ Stanford University Stanford Psychology will be presenting!

On Wed 07/30, we will be hosting the in-person component of our Minds in the Making (minds-making.github.io) workshop ft. Barbara Tversky, Grace Hawthorne, & many other speakers from our virtual seminars! Also a poster session to highlight work relevant to design+cognition!

Personally I think my scrap paper chart looks better
