Excited to share our latest work, "Ivie: Lightweight, Anchored Explanations of Just-Generated Code." We developed a tool that pairs with Copilot to provide timely, concise explanations of code suggestions. Read our #CHI2024 paper on arXiv: https://t.co/NvMJRO8Fb6 #Copilot

[Penn @Penn]

Alyssa Hwang, a Ph.D. candidate in @PennEngineers, developed a new framework for evaluating the performance of large language models’ ability to analyze images. Hwang utilized the tool to run a battery of tests on the new ChatGPT-Vision.
