I'm at #CHI24 in Hawaii! DM me if you want to chat or hang out. I'll be around until Friday morning. :)

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.

Ready to kick off #CHI2023 tomorrow after a pleasant weekend in Hamburg! Looking forward to catching up with folks and meeting new people. I am especially interested in exploring potential new collaborations in the areas of (i) design of technology to benefit DHH individuals, (ii) socio-technical challenges related to algorithmic discrimination and transparency in AI systems, and (iii) community health technologies.

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

“AI and the American Smile: How AI misrepresents culture through a facial expression”

Years ago, I had a go at explaining to somebody that AI colourisation inevitably erased variation and minorities out of history. AI-generated images are that x1000. Everything becomes American. https://medium.com/@socialcreature/ai-and-the-american-smile-76d23a0fbfaf
