Bluesky friends, do you know any frameworks of needs and affordances for XAI that feel relevant today? I'm working on a new project with explainability aspects and am looking to catch up on the best ideas of the literature.

Academic friends, what is the advice for rebutting a fatally low review from a PC member that only points to a few minor (fixable) writing issues? Would you message a PC lead about the review? Does a polite rebuttal stand a chance of changing this reviewer's mind?

I'm at #CHI2025! 🇯🇵 🌸 Presenting our LBW "Traceable Texts and Their Effects". We studied how phrase-level links from AI summaries to their sources influence the reading of complex texts. 🕥 April 30 at 10:30a & 3:40p 📍North 1F Interested in text augmentation or improving source transparency? Drop by!

At #chi2025 this year, see our group's latest: a projectional editor for augmenting math formulas, and a study of augmented AI-generated texts. Look out for these faces! Jeff, @hitakam.bsky.social, and I are excited to reconnect with old friends and make new ones.

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care! EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

sreenshot from the new york times reporting that Stanford University’s provost is talking about how the loss of funding from national institutes of health funding will cost the university $160 million. that’s not the way to get this changed — the people think “stanford is rich; no big deal.” leaders need to talk about what this will cost the public

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

It's great to come on to Bluesky and see so many old friends here. A good first post may be to remind everyone that Penn's PhD application deadline this is Dec. 16. We at Penn HCI are recruiting this year! Myself in the areas of HCI/PL and augmented reading. We welcome your application!
