Want to learn or better understand backpropagation? Backpropagation powers neural networks and deep learning. I recorded a video where I build intuitively up from linear models: youtube.com/watch?v=Xz3jQq… (1/2)

Unfortunately not going to #CHI2023 but would like to share some pro tips for first-timers --

After a really nice pre-chi demo in Berlin I’ve made it to Hamburg now for the #CHI2023 conference! Really excited to be here and to meet others working in the health and conversational agents space :) (btw the view from the hotel room is amazing 😍)

Excited to attend #CHI2023! 🌼 I’ll be presenting my paper: "Understanding tensions in music accessibility through song signing for and with d/Deaf and Non-d/Deaf persons” in Arts/Creativity and Accessibility session on Wednesday at 5 PM ⭐️ 🔗: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/35…

#CHI2023 Tomorrow afternoon in the Health over a Distance session at 16:30 (room X11-X12), I’ll be presenting our work “Constraints and Workarounds to Support Clinical Consultations in Synchronous Text-based Platforms”. Come join us! dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/35…

It’s been such a great time catching up and meeting new people at #chi2023 this year. I had so much fun! Here are some of my highlights! (Last photo shows the real me when conference world is over :p)

Robots may be able to help us with heavy-lifting work 🦾 in instructional and creative tasks 🧠. Our work on human-robot co-creation of tutorial videos is now on UofT DCS news. Thanks for covering it U of T Department of Computer Science!

Working in a lively HCI community at the vibrant heart of Singapore! SMU HCI is offering multiple fully-funded PhD positions in the fields of accessibility, visualization, human-AI interaction, AR/VR, health, and HRI. 🌐 smuhci.com More info see 🧵. RT appreciated.

We have four awesome research papers that were recently accepted to #CHI2024, the premier international conference on human-computer interaction. Expand this thread to get a preview of what we have in store! 🧵

Aloha and ready for #CHI2024! I’ll be attending the CHI DC this weekend and presenting our full paper in the Health and AI track and our LBW during the poster sessions. Excited to meet new and old friends!

#CHI2024 DC event has been a blast! Thank you to all the mentors and organizers for this amazing event. It’s been a really rewarding experience and I’ve made so many new friends 😊

Can HCI Save Us from AI and Save AI from Itself? Dipping my toe into the content creation waters -- I recorded a "rehearsal" of the talk I will give in 15 minutes (will try to put on YouTube, but here it is on Drive for now) drive.google.com/file/d/12de7-7…

Is the chatbot only telling you what you want to hear? "Our language can be used against us," says JHU Computer Science's Ziang Xiao, who found that chatbots reinforce our biases. Could AI widen the public divide on controversial issues? engineering.jhu.edu/news/chatbots-…
