IUI '26Human-LLM Collaboration +2

Improving Human Verification of LLM Reasoning through Interactive Explanation Interfaces

The reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) have led to their increasing employment in several critical applications, particularly education, where they support problem-solving, tutoring, and personalized study. While there are a plethora of works showing the effectiveness of LLMs in generating step-by-…

Design Considerations for Human Oversight of AI: Insights from Co-Design Workshops and Work Design Theory

As AI systems become increasingly capable and autonomous, domain experts’ roles are shifting from performing tasks themselves to overseeing AI-generated outputs. Such oversight is critical, as undetected errors can have serious consequences or undermine the benefits of AI. Effective oversight, however, depends not onl…

Mental Models in Human-AI Interaction: Systematic Review of Empirical Methodologies and Guidelines

The notion of mental model has long been used in HCI to capture people's understanding and reasoning about computing systems. Eliciting users' mental models can explain their behaviors and attitudes toward a system—why and how they use, rely on, trust, or reject it. However, its use remains conceptually fragmented and…

No Code, No Cloud: On-Device Mockup-to-Code with Lightweight Vision-Language AI

Bridging the gap between visual design and functional code remains a persistent challenge in modern UI workflows, especially for small teams and non-programmers. Existing solutions, such as Figma-to-code tools and recent vision language models (VLMs), often depend on proprietary cloud APIs or large-scale architectures…

When Help Hurts: Verification Load and Fatigue with AI Coding Assistants

AI coding assistants help, but developers still spend effort verifying model output. We isolate interface effects by holding a single LLM fixed while N=60 participants solve three Python tasks with Inline, Chat, or Structured prompting, plus a no-AI control. AI reduced workload by -18.2 TLX points and time by 22% (25.…

Take the Power Back: Screen-Based Personal Moderation Against Hate Speech on Instagram

Hate speech remains a pressing challenge on social media, where platform moderation often fails to protect targeted users. Personal moderation tools that let users decide how content is filtered can address some of these shortcomings. However, it remains an open question on which screens (e.g., the comments, the reels…

Play/Destroy: A portfolio of sound destruction devices

Digital media operates on a curious boundary between storage and loss. While each new storage format promises a permanent solution to our exponentially expanding media libraries, they inevitably fail or otherwise become unusable. This paper reflects on a long-term design process that attempts to bring a different para…

FlueBricks: A Construction Kit of Flute-like Instruments for Acoustic Reasoning

We present FlueBricks, a construction kit for acoustic reasoning via building and customizing flute-like instruments. By assembling generator, resonator, and connector modules that embody various aeroacoustic properties, users gain deeper understanding of how blowhole, tube length, and tone-hole placement alter onset,…

Privy: Envisioning and Mitigating Privacy Risks for Consumer-facing AI Product Concepts

AI creates and exacerbates privacy risks, yet practitioners lack effective resources to identify and mitigate these risks. We present Privy, a tool that guides practitioners without privacy expertise through structured privacy impact assessments to: (i) identify relevant risks in novel AI product concepts, and (ii) pr…

Laughing Through the Struggles: Understanding ADHD Experience and Community Engagement Through Memes and Comments on Instagram

While public discourse often reduces Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) to stereotypes that overlook the invisible struggles of those who live with it, ADHD people are increasingly using social media to express their experiences on their own terms. On platforms like Instagram, memes have become a powerful…
