CHARM Member Hongjin Lin is giving a talk on her paper "Funding AI for Good: A Call for Meaningful Engagement" on June 4th! You can see what it's all about as well as the link for attending on our website!

I'm hiring again! Please share. I'm recruiting a postdoc research fellow in human-centred AI for scalable decision support. Join us to investigate how to balance scalability and human control in medical decision support. Closing date: 4 October (AEST). uqtmiller.github.io/recruitment/

At @hcde.uw.edu, we are hiring an assistant or associate teaching professor. If you are dedicated to advancing human centered design & engineering education and scholarship, and our interdisciplinary community might be the right next step in your career, I hope you will apply!

@zbucinca.bsky.social's new paper shows that people who receive AI decision recommendations with contrastive explanations (pick A instead of B because...) grow their skills. This important because people do not learn when AI provides conventional explanations. iis.seas.harvard.edu/papers/bucin...

New paper led by Zilin Ma and Weiwei Pan investigates how AI can augment the work of front line humanitarian negotiators & introduces a system that embodies these ideas. Instead of suggesting what to do next, the system helps them identify facts, values, issues & respective bottom lines and & lines.

You can't miss the "Women in AI" event, today at 10am. It's a joint initiative with #WiML ! With @kanarinka.bsky.social and @ivanafeld.bsky.social ! You can also follow it live at khipu.ai/live

Join us in congratulating HCDE Professor Kate Starbird on receiving the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). This prestigious honor recognizes her groundbreaking research on the dynamics of misinformation and disinformation online.

Consider submitting to our upcoming CHI workshop on augmenting human reasoning with AI!

How can we design AI systems that enhance human critical thinking, reasoning, and agency, rather than diminish them? Happy to announce our workshop on "AI Enhanced Reasoning" at #CHI2025 in Yokohama on April 26, 2025. Please join us! aireasoning.media.mit.edu

New paper! I argue we can't address public distrust in science through "virtual diversity" because scientists have trouble understanding the scope and urgency of public frustrations, and devalue non-scientists' contributions. If you can't access I will send! #STS journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Please apply to work with Ken!! He is fantastic! And I'll get to work with you potentially too!

Just deleted my #facebook account. Haven't used it in years. Seemed like the right time. Of course, it wasn't obvious how to do it. Here are instructions: www.facebook.com/help/2245628...

#COVID numbers are high again in #Boston area (www.mwra.com/biobot/biobo...). We had a peaceful (COVID-wise) fall but now the risks are high again. If you have the energy to take precautions for only a couple of weeks a year, now is the time.

Inspired by @wimlds.bsky.social , I looked for a "Women in Machine Learning" starter pack and couldn't find one. So I created one! May have some mistakes. I'll try to do an AI ethics one next. 🤗 go.bsky.app/LT6CwNN

I'm seeking a postdoc to work with me and @kenholstein.bsky.social on evaluating AI/ML decision support for human experts: statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2024/12/10/p... P.S. I'll be at NeurIPS Thurs-Mon. Happy to talk about this position or related mutual interests! Please repost 🙏

Do you feel that your profession or organization urgently needs to adopt #AI? Here's some advice that we often share (as academics working in human-AI interaction and #ML) with professional colleagues who consider the role of modern technology in their professions. (w/ Weiwei Pan and Hongjin Lin)

I'm hiring PhD students at Brown CS! If you're interested in human-robot or AI interaction, human-centered reinforcement learning, and/or AI policy, please apply. Or get your students to apply :). Deadline Dec 15, link: cs.brown.edu/degrees/doct.... Research statement on my website, www.slbooth.com

Great syllabus! Thank you for sharing.

JMP (statistical analysis software that I find very useful for exploratory analyses and visualizations) now has free licensing for faculty and students but only for a "student edition" of the software. Does anyone know what's missing from student edition compared to Pro? #HCI #statistics

Faculty and students have the opportunity to teach, learn, and perform research projects using the full capabilities of JMP.
