Some days I think Rocco is really a Melville scholar who does computer science theory just to pay the bills.

I am hiring research interns for 2023! If you or you know any student with experience with large language models (CLIP or others) and video understanding for authoring, send them my way! Happy to talk to you/them to see if it's a good fit! Please retweet to spread the word!

Our paper on blind accessible explorative navigation is now available on CSCW. doi.org/10.1145/3579496 We highlight spatial information for BLV people to learn an environment and the importance of in-situ social collaboration. Brian A. Smith Gaurav Jain #cscw #hci #accessibility

I’m excited to share our CHI paper about disability representation in avatar platforms! tinyurl.com/avatars-with-d… Please check out our presentation at CHI. Thanks wonderful to my collaborators Rai Hsu Andrés Monroy-Hernández Brian A. Smith and Fannie Liu

I’ve seen a lot of exciting work in VR at #CHI2023 and I take the chance to share our #ieeevr2023 paper on audio feedback in VR for blind people. It’s often an afterthought, but a well thought (from the start) audio design can ensure blind people are included in VR experiences.

All materials from our full-day #CHI2023 Course "Cognitive Modeling: From GOMS to Deep Reinforcement Learning" available here: github.com/howesa/CHI22-C… Slides and Colab/ipynb notebooks. Feel free how you see best. All feedback welcome!

I'm happy to share and discuss two papers at #CSCW2023. "I Want to Figure Things Out" today at Accessibility session. "Social Wormholes" on Wed 9am at Social Connections session. 🌟I'm also actively contemplating PhD opportunities, and would love to learn more from professors!

The Columbia CS department is hiring in all areas of CS this year, for multiple tenure-track and lecturer positions. Please apply if you are interested! 🗽🏙️ cs.columbia.edu/open-positions/
