The Journal of Visualization and Interaction (JoVI) is now open for submissions! We provide a unique venue for the fields of #InfoVis and #HCI, supporting pre-registration of research, open review, novel article formats, and diamond open access (no fees!). journalovi.org

Exciting to see what one of our postdocs, Ian Arawjo, has done in his short time here already at Harvard HCI!

We're looking for participants in the Boston area for a user study of ChainForge, a system for making sense of the outputs of AI text models. The study is *in-person* at Harvard SEC, 75min, $30 in cash. If interested, reply or DM + we'll send a sign-up link. Please retweet!🙂

We are happy that Johannes Knittel joins us as an HDSI PostDoc. He got his PhD from Uni Stuttgart, where he focused on the visual analysis of large text collections. He is interested in new #vis-based methods to explain ML models and utilize AI to extract insights from intricate data

PI Glassman (Elena Glassman) received an Amazon Research Award to work on end-user sensemaking tools for language model outputs, a collaboration with postdoc Katy Gero and Prof. Kummerfeld (USydney)!

Thanks for the shout-out, Geoffrey Litt ! I'm grateful to know you find it compelling. I've continued to iterate on this line of thought (and the diagram components themselves)---you can find the most recent version which I presented at a CHI course here: arxiv.org/abs/2309.02257

ACM #UIST2023 preliminary program is live! We have a very exciting and amazing lineup of works: programs.sigchi.org/uist/2023 Please come and join us at the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco between Oct. 29 – Nov. 1, 2023. Standard registration ends: Oct 20th. uist.acm.org/2023/attending…

Want to research how multi-modal AI will transform programming? I’m recruiting! Prospective PhD students, email me, or apply via DIRO or MILA-DIRO affiliation: diro.umontreal.ca/en/english/pro… Please retweet and share! 🥳

We are so excited to see what Postdoc Ian Arawjo will do next! We're so lucky to have had him here in Cambridge, and soon some lucky folks can join him in Montreal!

Come be my colleague! Happy to chat about why Harvard & Harvard SEAS are a great place to do deep work. Tenure-Track Professor in Computer Science: "all areas of Computer Science.

#chi2024 papers were accepted. Grateful for R&R opportunities; it made our work better. Grateful for reviewers' efforts to re-appraise the more polished re-submissions. Grateful to the author teams who did all that extra work to make documents we're even more proud of.

Excited to share our new #chi2024 paper, "An AI-Resilient Text Rendering Technique for Reading and Skimming Documents", w/ Ian Arawjo Kenneth Li Jonathan K. Kummerfeld Elena Glassman! arxiv.org/abs/2401.10873 (1/11)

Very much looking forward to this! Will be talking about AI-resilient interfaces [arxiv.org/abs/2401.10873], scaling up sensemaking about LLM-generated text [arxiv.org/abs/2401.13726], & chainforge.ai which retrieves all those varying responses [arxiv.org/abs/2309.09128].

We didn't get any paper awards at #CHI2024, but hey our research is important, interesting, and solid. So is yours. See you all at CHI :)

While these numbers don't matter and paper awards are semi-random--- the statistical anomaly that is 3/4 of our #chi2024 papers receiving awards speaks volumes about our PhD students Priyan Vaithilingam Chelse Swoopes Ziwei Gu, our current & former postdocs Ian Arawjo & katy ilonka gero...

Very proud of this great work and great Harvard HCI team! Paper, github, and hosted tool here: chainforge.ai

Ziwei Gu did a terrific job presenting this work this afternoon at #CHI2024! The follow-up work, open-source code, and live demo can all be found here: glassmanlab.seas.harvard.edu

Come check out our Honorable Mention-awarded paper tomorrow (Wed) afternoon at 4:15 in Rm 324! Paper, open-source code, & live demo all available here: glassmanlab.seas.harvard.edu Built on top of one of the other projects in our group last summer: chainforge.ai! #chi2024

Have you developed a system and are now writing about it for submission to a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) venue? Participate in our study and kick-start your manuscript. Participants will be expected to (a) interact with a set of design features while planning, writing (1/n)
