Logistics: Internships can last up to a year, depending on starting date. Winter, spring, and summer 2023 internships are all possible (earlier is ideal!). Working with me is in-person @Apple office Pittsburgh, PA (with relocation assistance) 🍎🏢

Our research group @apple is recruiting PhD student interns working in #visualization + #machinelearning. Past interns have published award-winning papers and deployed interactive data tools that impact billions.

DMs open. Come work with me!

I’m really excited to share our work on Improving Human-AI Partnerships in Child Welfare:
Understanding Worker Practices, Challenges, and Desires for Algorithmic Decision Support, which won a Best Paper Honorable Mention Award🏅 at #CHI22! Preprint: https://t.co/XGK53xnKEF🧵]

Come intern with me at 🍎. It’s a healthy fruit. Let’s make usable ML tools for all 🌈✨🧑🏻‍🔬

Just trying to edit my dissertation (on version control) over here, but @googledocs is throwing down a pretty strong argument for Git as the one true version control tool. Like wow.

@barik @jwnichls @jeffbigham @Apple @bennytheshap @domoritz @gierad @leahfindlater @foil 🍎🤩 this is the excellent news!

It's here! Today we launched the #HAXToolkit, practical tools for creating responsible Human-AI eXperiences. https://t.co/iXyTl7kvwP

This was a labor of love, and sometimes sweat and tears, by many @Microsoft. This is the #HAX story. Opinions my own. #AI #ux #responsibleAI

😒 Urgggg do I really have to search the whole bag now to find the close squiggle bracket } ? Raising a baby is hard. @cheerios didn’t have syntax in my day.

“Work by me and my co-author *Animals Against Hope*” 🐄 🐓Um... when authors have way too much faith in autogenerated closed captioning and don’t manually correct it. #CHI2021

[Mary Beth Kery ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ HCI Dr. @mbkery]

Perfectly scheduled 💉2/2 to stay in bed sick for several days afterwards and watch #CHI2021 with the whole family like it’s an old fashioned TV marathon 🐈🐶🐶👶🏻

@mcoblenz Style conventions makes me think commenting, naming, code structure. I want to talk about even bigger style changes that fundamentally warp how the language is used

[Mary Beth Kery ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ HCI Dr. @mbkery]

Help: Are there PL terms to describe an "dialect" of a programming language brought about by the libraries involved? E.g. the grammar and style conventions of a python/pandas code looks super different from python/pyspark code. If python was english I'd say these are two dialects

[Mary Beth Kery ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ HCI Dr. @mbkery]

Perhaps this is a phenomenon of particularly (socially speaking) distributed languages? Python and JS each have thousands of community frameworks and libraries each shaping language usage in different ways

[Mary Beth Kery ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ HCI Dr. @mbkery]

When someone says they don't like JS as a language, I laugh. 🤷‍♀️ That's like saying you don't like the English language because you don't like the sound of a Minnesota accent. How do we capture all the different "dialects" of a programming language based on context?

[Mary Beth Kery ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ HCI Dr. @mbkery]

@ToschEmma Perfect, thank you @ToschEmma! They did a stackoverflow analysis in that paper, and that's pretty much all I needed 😃

[Mary Beth Kery ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ HCI Dr. @mbkery]

HELP: Do you know any data or study to support the claim that Git is hard for novices to learn? I want to express exactly what is said in this xkcd comic. Seriously tho, is it OK to cite xkcd in my phd dissertation as evidence? https://t.co/mrcMfU0if3

[Mary Beth Kery ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ HCI Dr. @mbkery]

I run into this issue about random developer "common knowledge" things all the time. There just isn't a handy academic source to "legitimize" community norms/beliefs that are all over the internet and stackoverflow or whatever. How do you (more mature researchers) handle that?
