Towards Insider Summarization for Mediation Instead of Moderation: Examining Wikipedian Views on Key Elements of Discussion Summaries

In Wikipedia, conflict plays a vital role in refining knowledge. Yet some disputes persist without clear resolution or rule violations, resulting in long, circular discussions without moderator intervention. These deter neutral and third-party editors and often end only when one side gives up. In such cases, what is n…

Canvil: Designerly Adaptation for LLM-Powered User Experiences

Advancements in large language models (LLMs) are sparking a proliferation of LLM-powered user experiences (UX). In product teams, designers often craft UX to meet user needs, but it is unclear how they engage with LLMs as a novel design material. Through a formative study with 12 designers, we find that designers seek…

Analyzing Collaborative Challenges and Needs of UX Practitioners when Designing with AI/ML

UX designers and researchers who work with AI/ML face different kinds of challenges throughout the design process. Though close collaborations with AI/ML developers and data scientists could address some of these challenges, such interdisciplinary collaborations are non-routine and hard to realize. In this work, we in…

Mapping the Design Space of Teachable Social Media Feed Experiences

Social media feeds are deeply personal spaces that reflect individual values and preferences. However, top-down, platform-wide content algorithms can reduce users' sense of agency and fail to account for nuanced experiences and values. Drawing on the paradigm of interactive machine teaching (IMT), an interaction frame…

Conflicts of Control: Continuous Blood Glucose Monitoring and Coordinated Caregiving for Teenagers with Type 1 Diabetes

Continuous blood glucose monitoring (CGM) is a bio-sensing technology designed to help individuals with diabetes understand and manage their blood sugar levels. Better control and management have the promise of extending and improving the quality of life with diabetes. For teenagers with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), CGM has…

"Why do you need 400 photographs of 400 different Lockheed Constellation?": Value Expressions by Contributors and Users of Wikimedia Commons

Understanding the values that collaborators bring to a collaboration is important for the design of new systems. In collaborative systems understanding differing values could help design solutions to mitigate conflicts and more effectively coordinate collaboration. We review prior studies of Commons-Based Peer Product…

How Do UX Practitioners Communicate AI as a Design Material? Artifacts, Conceptions, and Propositions

UX practitioners (UXPs) face novel challenges when working with and communicating artificial intelligence (AI) as a design material. We explore how UXPs communicate AI concepts when given hands-on experience training and experimenting with AI models. To do so, we conducted a task-based design study with 27 UXPs in whi…

Unpacking Stitching between Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons: Barriers to Cross-Platform Collaboration

The study of work practices across two or more collaborative platforms is relatively rare. Participants and researchers have to be competent, or even experts, in both just to begin to make sense of what is happening. With the growing popularity of peer-production systems, the integration of resources across various pl…

Wikipedia Beyond the English Language Edition: How do Editors Collaborate in the Farsi and Chinese Wikipedias?

Do models of collaboration among contributors of Wikipedia generalize beyond the larger, western editions of the encyclopedia? In this study, we expanded upon the known collaborative mechanisms on the English Wikipedia and demonstrated that the collaboration model is best captured through the interplay of these mechan…

Designing Telepresence Drones to Support Synchronous, Mid-air, Remote Collaboration: An Exploratory Study

Drones are increasingly used to support humanitarian crises and events that involve dangerous or costly tasks. While drones have great potential for remote collaborative work and aerial telepresence, existing drone technology is limited in its support for synchronous collaboration among multiple remote users. Through…
