CHI '26Honorable MentionSmartphone Addiction & Digital Wellbeing +2

What is Digital Wellbeing? A Leverage Points Framework to Guide Research and Action

While research on digital wellbeing has often focused on mitigating the harms of technology (over)use-especially around screen time-the concept itself remains inconsistently defined. In this paper, we first propose a layered taxonomy that characterizes digital wellbeing across three dimensions: technology scope and us…

CHI '26Participatory Design +3

Participatory AI Justice in HCI: A Scoping Review

Participatory design is increasingly used to address the negative social impacts of artificial intelligence (AI), aiming for more inclusive and equitable innovation. However, it can inadvertently reproduce injustice and reinforce power imbalances, even with good intentions. While the HCI community is critical of these…

CHI '26Generative AI (Text, Image, Music, Video) +2

When Designers Sweat: Behavioral Traces of GenAI Co-Creation

The integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into design processes raises fundamental questions about behavioral patterns in human-GenAI interaction. This study examines how 16 professional designers interact with GenAI tools during concept development through a mixed-methods approach including pre/po…

When Handwriting Goes Social: Creativity, Anonymity, and Communication in Graphonymous Online Spaces

While most digital communication platforms rely on text, relatively little research has examined how users engage through handwriting and drawing in anonymous, collaborative environments. We introduce Graphonymous Interaction, a form of communication where users interact anonymously via handwriting and drawing. Our st…

IUI '25Automated Driving Interface & Takeover Design +1

Crying Jaywalker! Notifying Take-Over-Requests and Critical Events in Operational Driving Domain of Autonomous Vehicles via Multimodal Interfaces

The advent of self-driving cars promises to enable occupants to repurpose commuting time. However, although in conditional automation (SAE Level 3) drivers can engage in non-driving related tasks (NDRTs), they must be ready to intervene when prompted by the system with a take-over request (TOR). The vehicle may also n…

IUI '25Interactive Data Visualization +1

DeepFlow: A Flow-Based Visual Programming Tool for Deep Learning Development

Visual programming tools have recently been introduced to enable Deep Learning (DL) development without the need for expertise in traditional programming languages and frameworks. However, these tools often exhibit limitations in scalability for complex architectures and lack real-time debugging capabilities. This pap…

CHI '25Honorable MentionContext-Aware Computing +2

Dramatic Things: Investigating Value Conflicts in Smart Home through Enactment and Co-speculation

Smart home technologies embed values such as sustainability, comfort, privacy, and security, which can sometimes conflict with one another, considering the complexities of domestic environments. This paper investigates the potential implications of these value conflicts and the corresponding design challenges. Through…

CHI '25Human-LLM Collaboration +1

Investigating How Computer Science Researchers Design Their Co-Writing Experiences With AI

Recent advancements in AI have significantly enhanced collaboration between humans and writing assistants. However, empirical evidence is still lacking on how this collaboration unfolds in scientific writing, especially considering the variety of tools researchers can use nowadays. We conducted observations and retros…

CSCW '24Session 3c: Evolving Approaches to Privacy

NLPGuard: A Framework for Mitigating the Use of Protected Attributes by NLP Classifiers

AI regulations are expected to prohibit machine learning models from using sensitive attributes during training. However, the latest Natural Language Processing (NLP) classifiers, which rely on deep learning, operate as black-box systems, complicating the detection and remediation of such misuse. Traditional bias miti…

CHI '23Dark Patterns Recognition

Defining and Identifying Attention Capture Deceptive Designs in Digital Interfaces

Many tech companies exploit psychological vulnerabilities to design digital interfaces that maximize the frequency and duration of user visits. Consequently, users often report feeling dissatisfied with time spent on such services. Prior work has developed typologies of damaging design patterns (or dark patterns) that…
