Honored to be named a Sloan Fellow! So much gratitude for all of my collaborators and others who have supported me! And, of course, a very special thanks to my amazing research group! I am so fortunate to work with such awesome students! #SloanFellow

This research is very impressive and valuable. Taking both adopters and non-adopters into consideration is also a very important human-AI interaction problem. HCI researchers should also take responsibility to tackle this challenge.

Taking this time to uplift our qualitative research on LLM adopters and non-adopters! We conduct hour-long qualitative interviews and follow up with an online survey. Those who naturally gravitate towards a tool are distinct from those who are slow or non-adopting. The future of LLM design requires consideration to both!

I passed my PhD qualifying exam, and I am now a PhD candidate! 😁🙌 Thanks to everyone who joined my journey on feminist HCI and women’s empowerment.

Wow! That's really impressive, and it looks really useful!

Ever gotten lost in a large conference? me... constantly 😅 That's why I built PapersClaw.fun — starting with CHI'26. What it does: 📅 Build a conflict-free schedule in 3 clicks — auto-detects time overlaps across your papers, sessions, and topics you care about. Your schedule lives in your local browser only. No server. No tracking. 🐢 Meet Turtle, your personal scheduling agent. It finds the real gaps in your schedule and suggests: "You've got 30 minutes after this talk. Want to signal you're up for coffee?" One tap drops a pin on the floor map. No calendar invite. No LinkedIn DM. Visible only to people signed in with work or school accounts. 🔍 More agents to help you find collaborators and discover work from unexpected corners of the field. These features I use all these features myself! 😃 🚀🚀🚀 Early launch is live now! 🔜Coming soon: 🪝 PapersClaw APIs — raise your own "claw fish" (OpenClaw #OpenClaw bots 🦞🦞) in the vast ocean of literature. Request access in the app, first come first served. 📱 Mobile-friendly version before conference day! Huge thanks to ACM and the CHI'26 organizing committee for putting together such an exciting program! @acm_chi #CHI2026 #HCI #SIGCHI

Spatial reconstruction is a long-context problem: real scenes come with hundreds of images. But O(N²) transformer-based models don’t scale efficiently.
Introducing: 🤐ZipMap (CVPR ’26): Linear-Time, Stateful 3D Reconstruction via Test-Time Training (TTT).
ZipMap “zips” a large image collection into an implicit TTT scene state in a single linear-time operation. The state will then be decoded into spatial outputs, and can be queried efficiently for novel-view geometry and appearance (~100 FPS)
ZipMap is not only much faster (>20× faster than VGGT), but also matches or surpasses the accuracy of all SOTA models.

去年初参加新人培训，有拿荣誉的清华算法应届生主动分享和QA，我提问对MCP应用前景的看法，也是想互动凑积分换礼品。他坦言不知道是什么。我没预料到，现场也确实是尬住了。可能ai phd有些是埋头研究基模的

Introducing Simile.
Simulating human behavior is one of the most consequential and technically difficult problems of our time.
We raised $100M from Index, Hanabi, A* BCV, @karpathy @drfeifei @adamdangelo @rauchg @scottbelsky among others.

My student @LanjingLiu and I wrote an article for @CACMmag in which we discussed our vision of how families, schools, and communities can work together to carry out privacy education for young children. Check it out! @JHUCompSci cacm.acm.org/opinion/it-tak…

I'm giving an online talk on our recent paper on LLMs' impact on scientific production next Monday (Jan 27, 7pm EST) / Tuesday (Jan 28, 9am KST/JST). Free registration from sites.google.com/view/cxrex !

LLM-assisted manuscripts exhibit more complexity of the written word but are lower in research quality, according to a new #SciencePolicyArticle that sought to evaluate the impacts of widespread use of generative #AI technologies on scientific production. scim.ag/3YzO8bE

We're partnering with @KhanAcademy to bring a suite of Gemini-powered learning and literacy tools to students, starting with the Writing Coach tool.
Writing Coach doesn’t generate answers or deliver a finished product — it walks students through the process of outlining, drafting and refining their own ideas. #BettUK2026

We’re launching full-length, on demand practice exams for standardized tests in @GeminiApp, starting with the SAT, available now at no cost.
Practice SATs are grounded in rigorously vetted content in partnership with @ThePrincetonRev, and Gemini will provide immediate feedback highlighting where you excelled and where you might need to study more.
To try it out, tell Gemini, “I want to take a practice SAT test.”

.@ISTatPENNSTATE recognized me w/ Faculty Excellence in Research Award. Don't feel right to celebrate, but I was told to celeb when we can, since rejs are so frequent.
THANK YOU to @PSUCrowdAILab students, collabs, & family. Couldn't do this without you.
