Catch Marco Raglianti's talk on "Manipulating VR-Native User Interfaces for Software Visualization Customization" at #VISSOFT2024. A deep dive into how to use #VirtualReality for software visualization!

As the author of this PDF, it's been interesting seeing people guess at the rationale behind its design. However, the rationale had nothing to do with theory vs practice, and everything to do with pragmatically coping with an unaccommodated disability in academia. (1/16)

This is so amazing and will do a million times more for propagating kannada than those goons who go around breaking boards and bones.

We hope to see scholars identifying with a global south at our Special Interest Group meeting at #CSCW2024. We hope a collective discussion helps surface individual insights about our positionality, that reflects in our scholarship. Details: sites.google.com/umd.edu/positi…

Open-source is ubiquitous in software development, but how about designing physical products? Our #CSCW2024 talk explored open-source collaboration in a hardware context, finding unique challenges and best practices. If you’re interested in design collaboration, let’s chat!

Hey all! I am teaching a new course this coming Winter Université de Montréal, Engineering AI-integrated systems (IFT 6085). Topics covered include: prompt engineering, evaluations, chaining, RAG, task decomposition, tool use, and AI agent systems. Montreal students, sign up + spread word!✨

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve finished my Ph.D. at Mila - Institut québécois d'IA. For the last 4.5 years, I have worked on creating new faithfulness-centric paradigms for NLP Interpretability. Read my vision for the future of interpretability in our newposition paper: arxiv.org/abs/2405.05386

At UIST 2022, I asked Ted Chiang for advice on how to finish my novel. He said something like: “What are you asking me for advice for? I’ve never finished a novel. Too hard. That’s why I write short stories.” 😂😭

The always-amazing #In2Writng workshop will be at #NAACL2025 NAACL HLT 2025 this time! #NLProc #HCI Paper deadline: Feb 28, 2025, AoE (no extensions!) Come submit your cool work! More: in2writing.glitch.me

much of interpretability are hci problems. a lot of it is to help humans understand what this black box algorithm is. at a meta level, mech interp researchers deal with hci problems every day. visualization, direct manipulation, mental model, etc. are all classic hci things!

I just watched my students present their "explorable explanations" for learning, so impressive! I’m truly inspired by the future of education and how AI can help teachers create interactive, culturally responsive learning experiences. Stanford Graduate School of Education #AIinEducation

One of my most meaningful papers began with a participant laughing at Alexa and saying, “It’s like a silly child.” That metaphor led to years of research, multiple rejections, and a long relationship with uncertainty. I wrote about that journey here: smitdesai.net/chailab/2025/4…

#In2Writing workshop is beginning now! #NAACL2025 NAACL HLT 2025

Excited to give an invited talk at SEMLA 2025 on June 18 at Polytechnique Montréal! I'll share how I use LLMs to design interventions that support collaboration among practitioners developing machine learning products. More info: semla.polymtl.ca #SEMLA2025 #LLM #SE4ML

BREAKING NEWS! Most people aren’t prompting models with IMO problems :) They’re prompting with tasks that need more context, like “plz make talk slides.” In an ACL oral, I’ll cover challenges in human-LM grounding (in 60K+ real interactions) & introduce a benchmark: RIFTS. 🧵
