Congrats to MIT Center for Advanced Virtuality Director Fox Harrell who was named a Lewis Latimer Fellow at the 36th Edison Awards. The Fellowship recognizes & celebrates Black innovators unlocking the potential of exponentially-advancing technologies. bit.ly/42i5OZQ

Kicking off our inaugural UX Design program in Seattle Khoury College of Computer Sciences! #SummerinSeattle

"Our hope is that (players) move away from the experience with an understanding of how xenophobia and other forms of discrimination may play out in everyday life situations," says MIT CSAIL Caglar Yildirim, co-designer of the VR project ‘On The Plane.’ bit.ly/430O9Gq

Thrilled to run into my favorite scientist and celebrity Andrew Huberman Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.! And yes, he's even kinder in person! Grateful for his commitment to bringing science to the masses. Hope to collaborate on some VR projects in the future. 🧠 #HubermanLab #ScienceForAll"

The Access controller for PS5 launches globally on December 6, with preorders going live July 21. Full details: play.st/44MNsRv

Happy to be a part of this!

Excited to share our latest paper with Yusuf Kocyigit for the MP2 Workshop @ NeurIPS 2023 workshop at #NeurIPS2023, focusing on moral justification in LLMs and exploring the moral alignment of various models through different moral approaches! #NeurIPS #AIEthics arxiv.org/abs/2311.07792

Northeastern launches a new MS degree in XR!

Congratulations on the honorable mention, Laura South Amy Pavel Michelle Borkin! Khoury College of Computer Sciences

The world's top HCI conference begins in Hawaii this weekend, and Khoury College’s researchers — along with their CoE, CoS, CAMD, and Bouvé collaborators — are ready. Learn more: bit.ly/3wiyo2x

Exciting opportunity to connect with Eurasian HCI researchers and visit İstanbul!

A huge shout out and congratulations to Laura South whose paper "Design guidelines for photosensitivity warnings in visual media" (with Michelle Borkin, Caglar Yildirim, and Amy Pavel) has been accepted to ASSETS! ✨ #photosensitivity #a11y #epilepsy #design #media #assets

#CHI2025 lottery results are out! 1 rejected; 1 R&R for us.

I am really happy to have this paper out from my internship at AI at Meta. It was great to work with Aaditya Singh supervised by Dieuwke Hupkes .

If you are an NLP researcher, watch out for Ekin's work!

Cool beans!

Our team Reality Labs at Meta has made amazing progress in predicting hand pose from sEMG. Now we're releasing a huge dataset, with code and competitive benchmark models. Excited to see what you can do: github.com/facebookresear…

I thank ARC Prize for organizing and thank my teammates for this prize. I believe multiple solutions will get 100% next year, but the important thing is to find simplest and scalable models that *is not designed for this specialized skill*. Frontier LLMs will solve it combined

Ekin Akyürek (Ekin Akyürek) builds tools for understanding & controlling algorithms that underlie reasoning in language models. You’ve likely seen his work on in-context learning; I'm just as excited about past work on linguistic generalization & future work on test-time scaling.

Good read on data contamination in LLMs!
