Beyond Clinical Risk: An Experimental Study of Cybersecurity Informed Consent and Patient Choice for Connected Medical Devices

Internet-connected medical devices introduce complex cybersecurity risks that challenge the established practice of informed consent. It remains unclear how patients weigh these abstract, dynamic threats against concrete clinical benefits. We present findings from a large-scale (N=2,666) vignette-based experiment desi…

I Can SE Clearly Now: Investigating the Effectiveness of GUI-based Symbolic Execution for Software Vulnerability Discovery

While symbolic execution (SE) can discover software vulnerabilities, it has received limited practical adoption. A key barrier is that SE requires human expertise to understand the program’s state and prioritize paths to analyze. Traditionally, users controlled SE through programmatic API calls, but recent tooling…

Outfoxed: Design and Evaluation of a Modular Interactive Puzzle for Cognitive Enrichment of Zoo Animals

Cognitively stimulating experiences are fundamental to supporting the welfare of zoo-housed animals. Puzzle-feeders are often initially engaging, but require frequent human intervention and often lack adaptability to support animals’ sustained cognitive engagement. We developed a modular adaptive puzzle-feeder designe…

CHI '25Crowdsourcing Task Design & Quality Control +1

Towards Fair and Equitable Incentives to Motivate Paid and Unpaid Crowd Contributions

Researchers commonly rely on contributions from either unpaid contributors or work done by paid crowdworkers. Rarely are the motivations of these workers and the accuracy of their contributions studied simultaneously in the wild over time. We maintain a public system where anyone can edit an evolving tabular dataset o…

An Investigation of Interaction and Information Needs for Protocol Reverse Engineering Automation

Protocol reverse engineering (ProtocolREing) consists of taking streams of network data and inferring the communication protocol. ProtocolREing is critical task in malware and system security analysis. Several ProtocolREing automation tools have been developed, however, in practice, they are not used because they offe…

AI on My Shoulder: Supporting Emotional Labor in Front-Office Roles with an LLM-based Empathetic Coworker

Client-Service Representatives (CSRs) are vital to organizations. Frequent interactions with disgruntled clients, however, disrupt their mental well-being. To help CSRs regulate their emotions while interacting with uncivil clients, we designed Care-Pilot, an LLM-powered assistant, and evaluated its efficacy, percepti…

BPCoach: Exploring Hero Drafting in Professional MOBA Tournaments via Visual Analytics

Hero drafting for multiplayer online arena (MOBA) games is crucial because drafting directly affects the outcome of a match. Both sides take turns to "ban"/"pick" a hero from a roster of approximately 100 heroes to assemble their drafting. In professional tournaments, the process becomes more complex as teams are not…

Attention is All They Need: Exploring the Media Archaeology of the Computer Vision Research Paper

Research papers, in addition to textual documents, are a designed interface through which researchers communicate. Recently, rapid growth has transformed that interface in many fields of computing. In this work, we examine the effects of this growth from a media archaeology perspective, through the changes to figures…

Empower Real-World BCIs with NIRS-X: An Adaptive Learning Framework that Harnesses Unlabeled Brain Signals

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) hold promise for future interactive user interfaces due to their ease of deployment and declining cost. However, they typically require a separate calibration process for each user and task, which can be burdensome. Machine learning h…

Designing Visual Signals to Support Situation Awareness Recovery in Conditional Automated Driving

Conditionally automated driving systems face two main safety challenges: the inability to autonomously handle all situations the vehicle encounters, and the allowed inattention of drivers during these critical moments. Our study focuses on enhancing drivers’ situation awareness at such times by embedding information a…
