Have you ever worried that no one would respond to your message? Our #CSCW2024 paper proposes a commitment-based design in online groups to address this: https://t.co/YJa5ZULr6I (with @zhangyt0704 and @msbernst )

Our new preprint shows that using chain of thought prompting can result in a significant drop in the performance of AI models on tasks where getting people to express their thoughts reduces human performance

A snippet of the work we did over the summer during my internship with MSR FATE Montreal—we highlight the need for more work investigating the impacts of anthropomorphic AI systems, which is critical to understanding the impact of genAI systems: https://t.co/GPbJ8NKvyK

Thrilled to share that we got the Best Paper Award this year at HCOMP! This paper looks at how users’ identities and experiences might impact their rating of harmful algorithmic biases. See link here for the full paper: https://t.co/VDLRHXK1mM

[Borhane Blili-Hamelin, PhD @Borhane_B_H]

I’ll be at AIES this week, to present our work with @struthious and @andrewthesmart on why imagining future forms of intelligence requires more specific language than ‘AGI’. Ping me if you’d like to chat! https://t.co/XVoQzh48Ow

[Arvind Satyanarayan @arvindsatya1]

HUGE congrats to @domoritz!! It's been such a pleasure and honor to work with you since the early days of @vega_vis. Here's to many more years of conversation and collaboration 🍻

[Yasmine Kotturi, Ph.D. @yasminekotturi]

I’m excited to announce that I'm recruiting a PhD student in Human-Centered Computing (HCC) at @UMBC! If you're passionate about building AI systems, the future of work, or community-engaged research, apply to our HCC PhD program! Why UMBC, you ask? Let me tell you! (1/5)

🤖🧠NOW OUT IN PNAS🧠🤖

Language models show many surprising behaviors. E.g., they can count 30 items more easily than 29

In Embers of Autoregression, we explain such effects by analyzing what LMs are trained to do

Major updates since the preprint!

How accurate & ethical are claims of #ArtificialIntelligence outperforming clinicians?

"Constructive ethical guidance that can benefit authors, journal editors, & peer reviewers when reporting and evaluating findings in studies comparing AI to physician performance" is offered in this commentary from @JojannekeDrogt, @JongsmaKr et al. from @UMCUtrecht.
