Did my talk and demo at HAI-GAN yesterday. It went well, but I had forgotten my poster! I ad-hoc-ed on with the hotel printer and my slide deck:

Some really interesting talks:

• ExpressEdit: Video Editing with Natural Language and Sketching
  • Neat work on a very hard problem
• Intent Elicitation in Mixed-Initiative Co-Creativity
  • Collaborative storytelling with LLMs and Stable Diffusion at Midjourney.
• Deriving Desirable Artistic Generative Distributions from Individual Identity Statements
  • This one in particular had some really novel work. One idea that she mentioned almost in passing was the idea of latent mode collapse, which is a technique that I think I could use to recognize stampede behavior.
• Teaching Middle Schoolers about the Privacy Threats of Tracking and Pervasive personalization: A Classroom Intervention Using Design-Based Research
• Though no one made a presentation about it, the idea of prompt swarms in some form came up multiple times. Still nothing about maps or even about studying the structures that contain knowledge/narratives in LLMs

Main conference starts today. I’ll post notes here:

• Keynote – pathsto effective AI for diverse real people
  • Stumble forward empirracally
  • Draw from the field of education (e.g learning goals imply associated measures)
  • Add “after actin review” to your AI design – one of the things that seems to help is letting users come up with their own labels for things, which helps building abstractions that help overall understanding
  • Measure inclusiveness, and determine the why (GenderMag survey? Also SocioeconomicMag, AgeMag, InclusiveMag)
    • More inclusive designs of humans+AI ecosystem
    • Persona-based AI debugging

Got to chat with Mauro Martino about maps a bit

Sesssion 1:AI in Personalization, Recommendation and Search

Multimodal Models and Interaction

• Conan’s Bow Tie: A Streaming Voice Conversion for Real-Time VTuber Livestreaming – uses RNN for real-time predictive voice conversions. This could be generalizable? Less lag in video chat, or even remote robotics. Need to reach out possibly.
• ReviewFlow: Intelligent Scaffolding to Support Academic Peer Reviewing
• Accuracy-Time Tradeoffs in AI-Assisted Decision Making under Time Pressure
• Impact of Voice Fidelity on Decision Making: A Potential Dark Pattern? Nice chat. Maybe write a provocation for CUI?
• Slicing, Chatting, and Refining: A Concept-Based Approach for Machine Learning Model Validation with ConceptSlicer – definitely something for AI operators
• VMS: Interactive Visualization to Support the Sensemaking and Selection of Predictive Models – nice visualization for AI Operators. And a demo!

Poster session. Met a bunch of nice folks, and had a longer chat with Mauro. Need to follow up.
