Gesturing Toward Abstraction: Multimodal Convention Formation in Collaborative Physical Tasks

A quintessential feature of human intelligence is the ability to create ad hoc conventions over time to achieve shared goals efficiently. We investigate how communication strategies evolve through repeated collaboration as people coordinate on shared procedural abstractions. To this end, we conducted an online unimoda…

A Personalized and Adaptable User Interface for a Speech and Cursor Brain-Computer Interface

Communication and computer interaction are important for autonomy in modern life. Unfortunately, these capabilities can be limited or inaccessible for the millions of people living with paralysis. While implantable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) show promise for restoring these capabilities, little has been explored…

Reimagining Data Work: Participatory Annotation Workshops as Feminist Practice

AI systems depend on the invisible and undervalued labor of data workers, who are often treated as interchangeable units rather than collaborators with meaningful expertise. Critical scholars and practitioners have proposed alternative principles for data work, but few empirical studies examine how to enact them in pr…

CSCW '25Supporting Youth

Help-seeking and coping strategies for technology-facilitated abuse experienced by youth

Technology provides youth (ages 10--17) with near-constant opportunities for learning, communication, and self-expression. It can also expose them to technology-facilitated abuse: harassment, coercion, fraud, and more. The ability of youth to navigate such abuse is crucial for their well-being and development. A recen…

Tone Indicators: Designing Accessible CMC Cues for Neurodiverse Users

As messaging becomes increasingly salient to social connection and well-being, there exists a gap in understanding and support for neurodivergent users who may struggle with interpreting tone in computer-mediated communication (CMC). We look to existing accessibility practices among neurodivergent communities to thus…

L.ink: Procedural Ink Growth for Controllable Surprise

Control, a common principle in interface design, helps artists achieve desired outcomes when using creativity support tools. However, surprise also plays a role in creative practice by facilitating introspection and adaptation. Consequently, creativity support tools face the challenge of balancing these two properties…

NeuroChat: A Neuroadaptive AI Chatbot for Customizing Learning Experiences

Generative AI is reshaping education by enabling personalized, on-demand learning experiences. However, current AI systems lack awareness of the learner’s cognitive state, limiting their adaptability. In parallel, electroencephalography (EEG)-based neuroadaptive systems have shown promise in enhancing engagement throu…

Copyrighting Generative AI Co-Creations

While different countries vary in their determination of copyrightability, jurisdictions like the United States currently do not allow an artist to copyright AI-generated content when they do not have creative control. One avenue for an author to support their case for copyright protections over work created with AI m…

Towards AI Accountability Infrastructure: Gaps and Opportunities in AI Audit Tooling

Audits are critical mechanisms for identifying the risks and limitations of deployed artificial intelligence (AI) systems. However, the effective execution of AI audits remains incredibly difficult, and practitioners often need to make use of various tools to support their efforts. Drawing on interviews with 35 AI aud…

VidSTR: Automatic Spatiotemporal Retargeting of Speech-Driven Video Compositions

Video editors often record multiple versions of a performance with minor differences. When they add graphics atop one video, they may wish to transfer those assets to another recording, but differences in performance, wordings, and timings can cause assets to no longer be aligned with the video content. Fixing this is…
