CSCW folks, I wanted to highlight how excited and proud I am to see work from our community (dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/..., CSCW '24 best paper winner led by @jiachenyan.bsky.social and @mlam.bsky.social) grow and expand ambition into this Science paper. CSCW has a ton to offer the world.

Our new article in @science.org enables social media reranking outside of platforms' walled gardens. We add an LLM-powered reranking of highly polarizing political content into N=1256 participants' feeds. Downranking cools tensions with the opposite party—but upranking inflames them.

LLM safety work often reasons over high-level policies (be helpful & polite), but must tackle on-the-ground cases (unsolicited money advice when stocks are mentioned). This can feel like driving on an unfamiliar road guided by a generic driver’s manual instead of a map. We introduce: Policy Maps 🗺️

We're excited to host a second iteration of the HEAL workshop! Join us at CHI 2025 :) → Deadline: Feb 17, more info at heal-workshop.github.io

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 More info at heal-workshop.github.io.

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.
