I am part of two papers this year. @calua led a paper on affective captions, which will be presented in the "Supporting Accessibility of Text, Image, and Video B" session at 2 PM on Tuesday. Additionally, I'll be presenting a paper on dance learning at the "Sound, Movement, and Rhythm" session at 4:45 PM on Tuesday. Both of these papers received honorable mentions.
ML model fairness issues are often addressed with ethical frameworks beforehand or metrics, audits, and post-hoc fixes after the fact. Model sketching brings this normative thinking into the development process, grounding it in functional models and realistic data insights.
Thanks so much to my co-authors: awesome undergrad interns Zixian Ma, Anne Li, Ulo Freitas; collaborator Dakuo Wang; and my wonderful advisors @landay, @msbernst!! See the paper at: https://hci.stanford.edu/publications/2023/Lam_ModelSketching_CHI23.pdf
