This upcoming #FAccT2025 paper was w/ an amazing duo of undergrads @andreiskiii.bsky.social @andrewshawuw.bsky.social & deeply fuses philosophy with human-AI interaction design. "Unsettling the hegemony of intention" indeed! 😛 It also won the undergrad thesis award at UW 🏅 arxiv.org/abs/2502.15242

Can LLM prompting help social media users create and iterate on their content filters more easily? In our #CHI2025 paper, we compared in an experiment three authoring strategies: 🤖 Prompting LLM 🔎 Labeling examples for ML classifiers 📐 Authoring keyword rules (🧵1/N)

In-context learning can be an effective way to conduct value alignment of LLMs through examples, but when there are multiple pluralistic groups, are the best examples for one group also the ones for another? We explore this in our paper 🌟SPICA🌟 (🧵1/9)

How can we help communities collaboratively shape policies that impact them? In our #CHI2025 paper, we present PolicyCraft, a system that supports ✨collaborative policy design✨ through case-grounded deliberation. (🧵/11)

Next @cqz.bsky.social gave a talk on Wed on targeted interventions to reduce uncertainty in judgments. Paper here: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... He also discussed how it fits into his broader research trajectory and agenda, as he's headed onto the job market this year!

Interested in pursuing a Ph.D. at the intersection of computing, cultural heritage, and the digital humanities? I am recruiting Ph.D. students to join the Lab for Computing Cultural Heritage in the University of Washington's Information School! More information here: bcglee.com/lcch.html

Our lab has three paper talks at CSCW! But I want to highlight this one because @cqz.bsky.social is on the job market this year!! He works in crowdsourcing and human-AI systems. Make sure to check out his presentation on Wednesday. arxiv.org/abs/2305.01615
