Wonderful talk by @qveraliao.bsky.social on bridging the socio-technical gap in AI.

I am presenting tomorrow (Wednesday) my TOCHI Microsoft work “Generation Probabilities Are Not Enough: Uncertainty Highlighting in AI Code Completions” at ~11:55am in G301 :) should be fun 🥳

work done w/ @jennwv.bsky.social @qveraliao.bsky.social @adamfourney.bsky.social @gaganbansal.bsky.social 🤩

Happy to see this out at #CHI2025! Another effort to push for a more central role of designer in the development of LLM-powered applciations through designerly adaptation, enabling mutual shaping of UX design and LLM adaptation (prompting). And we made a Figma widget for it👇

Mon April 28: I'll be presenting our 🏅 paper on fostering appropriate reliance on LLMs (w/ @jennwv.bsky.social, @qveraliao.bsky.social, @tanialombrozo.bsky.social, Olga Russakovsky) in the 4:20-5:50pm paper session (G303)

As #AI gains a growing space in creation and art, how are the public discourses on AI in the arts shaping creative work?

It what we investigate in a new paper with @katecrawford.bsky.social , @qveraliao.bsky.social, Gonzalo Ramos and Jenny Williams : arxiv.org/abs/2502.03940

Bumping this up 🔉 If interested in interning with me or my colleagues apply by Friday, Jan 10 for full consideration! We are especially looking for candidates interested responsible and ethical AI considerations related to human agency, human control, anthropomorphic AI systems, and measurement

The image includes a shortened call for participation that reads: "We welcome participants who work on topics related to supporting human-centered evaluation and auditing of language models. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: - Empirical understanding of stakeholders' needs and goals of LLM evaluation and auditing - Human-centered evaluation and auditing methods for LLMs - Tools, processes, and guidelines for LLM evaluation and auditing - Discussion of regulatory measures and public policies for LLM auditing - Ethics in LLM evaluation and auditing Special Theme: Mind the Context. We invite authors to engage with specific contexts in LLM evaluation and auditing. This theme could involve various topics: the usage contexts of LLMs, the context of the evaluation/auditing itself, and more! The term ''context'' is purposefully left open for interpretation! The image also includes pictures of workshop organizers, who are: Yu Lu Liu, Wesley Hanwen Deng, Michelle S. Lam, Motahhare Eslami, Juho Kim, Q. Vera Liao, Wei Xu, Jekaterina Novikova, and Ziang Xiao.

Human-centered Evalulation and Auditing of Language models (HEAL) workshop is back for #CHI2025, with this year's special theme: “Mind the Context”! Come join us on this bridge between #HCI and #NLProc!

Workshop submission deadline: Feb 17 AoE

Had a lot of fun teaching a tutorial on Human-Centered Evaluation of Language Technologies at #EMNLP2024, w/ @ziangxiao.bsky.social, Su Lin Blodgett, and Jackie Cheung

We just posted the slides on our tutorial website: human-centered-eval.github.io

Join us for another Regaining Power of AI Salon with Linda Dounia Rebeiz on December 4 👇

I’m putting together a starter pack for researchers working on human-centered AI evaluation. Reply or DM me if you’d like to be added, or if you have suggestions! Thank you!

(It looks NLP-centric at the moment, but that’s due to the current limits of my own knowledge 🙈)
