Writing an HCI paper about an AI-powered system to a venue like UIST 2026 or CHI 2027? Wondering what reviewers expect you to report, and how to approach paper framing and writing? Check out our reporting guidelines: medium.com/p/7c3ae86341e3…

📢 Looking for current research on #HCI + #AI? Here's a categorised collection of 300+ #CHI2026 preprints, collected via arXiv: dbuschek.medium.com/chi26-preprint…

Our lying Ontario premier has just stolen $50 from every single person in Ontario. The estimated cost of repairing our beloved Science Center was 200 million dollars. The firm that made the estimate was told to multiply it by 1.85 to make it bigger. We were then told it would be better to build a new science center. Now we learn the new center will be smaller and will cost a billon dollars before the cost overruns. The only win is that the extensive parking lots of the old Science Center will be available for his developer friends.

Please RT: Reminder that I'm recruiting MSc and PhD students to join my lab at UAlberta focusing on Human–AI Interaction. Come shape the future of AI-assisted programming tools for better productivity and learning! Apply here: ualberta.ca/en/computing-s… Deadline: December 15

Internship application season is coming up, so I wrote down thoughts on how to land and excel in an HCI research internship, based on questions students often ask me. And yes--Adobe is hiring HCI interns! The application link is at the end of the post. notion.so/A-Guide-to-Lan…

I’ll present our design of CopilotLens at the XLLM-Reason-Plan workshop at #COLM2025 tomorrow (Friday)! Come by to chat about #vibecoding and how you use AI to code! 📍Room 520F, Montreal Convention Centre

@sangho_suh @allen_ai Congrats! 🥳

🎉 Excited to share that I’ll be joining the Allen Institute for AI (@allen_ai) as a 🔬 Research Scientist this 🗓️ September ! 🙏 Many thanks to my mentors, collaborators, and friends for their support and 👋 looking forward to meeting old and new friends in ⛰️ Seattle!

In building AI agents @cline , we've identified three mind viruses Mind Viruses are seductive ideas that sound smart, but don’t work in practice. 1. Multi-Agent Orchestration 2. RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) 3. More Instructions = Better Results Let's explore why!

super cool to compare the outputs from GPT-1 through GPT-5, given the same prompt: progress.openai.com

@Ananyabha 👏👏congrats Dr. Bhattacharjee!

My PhD thesis, “Adaptive Narrative Interventions to Foster Psychosocial Wellbeing”, was formally accepted by the University of Toronto today, marking the completion of all requirements for my PhD in Computer Science. I defended a couple of weeks ago, and I am grateful to my advisor, mentors, and collaborators for their guidance and support throughout this journey. #PhDone

@COLM_conf Work done with my co-advisor @MichaelLiut and are supported by undergraduates Zoey Zhang and Boushra Almazroua ♥️

@COLM_conf We're currently conducting further studies with students and professional developers. If you're interested in the future of Explainable AI for coding, my DMs are open! (or harryye@cs.toronto.edu). See you at COLM #ExplainableAI #DevTools #HCI #SoftwareDevelopment #FutureOfCoding

Love 'vibe coding' but get lost in the code your AI partner writes? 👨‍💻 We built a VS Code Plugin CopilotLens (on top of @Kilo_Code) as a research prototype to address this! It makes AI-generated code transparent and easy to understand, so you're always in control. a thread👇
