We're back! The MIT HCI group has grown, and we couldn't be more excited. A huge welcome to our newest faculty (@mitchellgordon, @huangcza, @ZanaBucinca & @jas_x_flowers) & students joining @arvindsatya1, @karger, Stefanie Mueller, Rob Miller & Daniel Jackson. Give us a follow!

i wanted to understand openai’s math release, so i built a visual explorer

my favorite part is changing how similarity is measured and seeing what families are neighbors. spin glasses and random SAT connect through their references!

new preprint: language models are “insecure” reporters.

researchers and engineers have become increasingly reliant on LLM-written reports---second-hand accounts of code and experiments---to understand agent-generated work.

in this study, we ask: “how transparent are these LLM-generated reports?” 🔍

What questions should we be asking to make pluralistic alignment a reality? Important read ‼️

[Elinor @elinorpd_]

Pluralistic alignment is thriving as a research agenda yet failing at its goal: making the AI systems people actually use more pluralistic🌈

🚨New position paper: we argue adoption in deployed models should be the fields main goal & we provide a roadmap of how to get there

Let’s go Angie!!!

I defended! 🎉

For the past six years, I have studied whether AI models see the world the same way as their users. My dissertation, "Reconciling AI Representations and User Mental Models," gives people the agency to define, measure, and adjust human-AI alignment in their domain.

Fun visit and talk at @MIT_CSAIL yesterday. Great to see the interesting HCI work there. @MITHCI. Here are my talk slides: https://t.co/Am1E6jNAA3. But I forgot to take any pictures.
