Our work shows incredible diversity in methodological approaches, focus on the most timely and pressing societal issues, deep longitudinal engagement with both the local and global communities, and engagement with the university's distinct mission and intellectual traditions.

Do We Need Subsidiarity in Software? #CHI2026 paper led by @louisaconwill. Subsidiarity is a principle where decisions or control should occur at the lowest level possible and the highest level necessary. Think about that for platforms like this one... Read it here: arxiv.org/abs/2509.13466

Friends, join us for this workshop in human-agent collaboration at #chi2026!
Bingsheng 'Arthur' Yao@BingshengY

CFP | CHI 2026 Workshop (Barcelona, in-person): Human-Agent Collaboration LLM agents can sustain open-ended dialogue, reason, plan, and take action. Yet most still struggle to collaborate with humans: shared context, mutual awareness, mixed initiative, and shared accountability. The gap shows up as brittle coordination and trust miscalibration, plus risks like hallucinations, privacy/security failures, misaligned autonomy, and over-anthropomorphization. In this workshop, we propose a concrete design lens: treat LLM agents as remote collaborators. We could draw on decades of CSCW and HCI research to ask what carries over from distributed teamwork, what breaks, and what new interaction patterns we need for mixed-initiative, multi-party, and asynchronous human–agent work. We’ll have keynotes, panel discussions, selected lightning talks, posters, and a hands-on storyboard design session to map open problems and design directions. How to participate: (1) Submit a 2–4 page position paper (accepted papers receive reserved participation slots), or (2) Apply via a participatory form describing what you want to contribute or learn (invitations depend on available capacity). Submission Deadline: Feb 15, 2026 (AoE) Website for Details: …p-human-agent-collaboration.hailab.io @dakuowang @TobyJLi @CharlieCRChen @tongshuangwu @AprilWang95 #CHI2026 #HCI #CSCW #HumanAI #AIAgents #LLM #LLMAgent #GenAI #AI #HumanCenteredAI #HCAI #HumanAIInteraction #HAI #CognitiveSystems #MixedInitiative #Collaboration #Teamwork #UXResearch #UI #ResponsibleAI

If you're are an HCI student navigating the industry job market, here’s my unsolicited take on why you should stop defending 'human-centeredness'. I’m rarely right. Read at your own risk: minsukchang.com/blog/2026-01-1…

Today a total stranger emailed me to ask me to *sign a recommendation letter* for their grad school application. Not someone from my university. Not applying to my university. Not even in my research field. Just a total stranger.

Biggest takeaway from @jeffbigham's talk at the #ICCV2025 CV4A11y Workshop: There are a lot of turtles. But seriously, cool to see great arguments on how advancements on LLMs and VLMs alone don't solve a11y automatically. There are actually more cool work to do enabled by LMs.
