CoLyricist: Enhancing Lyric Writing with AI through Workflow-Aligned Support

We propose CoLyricist, an AI-assisted lyric writing tool designed to support the typical workflows of experienced lyricists and enhance their creative efficiency. While lyricists have unique processes, many follow common stages. Tools that fail to accommodate these stages challenge integration into creative practices.…

Behavioral Indicators of Overreliance During Interaction with Conversational Language Models

LLMs are now embedded in a wide range of everyday scenarios. However, their inherent hallucinations risk hiding misinformation in fluent responses, raising concerns about overreliance on AI. Detecting overreliance is challenging, as it often arises in complex, dynamic contexts and cannot be easily captured by post-hoc…

CoSight: Exploring Viewer Contributions to Online Video Accessibility Through Descriptive Commenting

The rapid growth of online video content has outpaced efforts to make visual information accessible to blind and low vision (BLV) audiences. While professional Audio Description (AD) remains the gold standard, it is costly and difficult to scale across the vast volume of online media. In this work, we explore a comple…

The GenUI Study: Exploring the Design of Generative UI Tools to Support UX Practitioners and Beyond

AI can now generate high-fidelity UI mock-up screens from a high-level textual description, promising to support UX practitioners' work. However, it remains unclear how UX practitioners would adopt such Generative UI (GenUI) models in a way that is integral and beneficial to their work. To answer this question, we con…

Empowering Medical Data Labeling for Non-Experts with DANNY: Enhancing Accuracy and Mitigating Over-Reliance on AI

Economic constraints on recruiting experts hinder efforts to build qualified datasets for utilizing AI in professional domains (e.g., medical diagnosis), which could provide societal benefits. To solve this issue, previous studies introduced crowdsourcing and AI to enable non-experts to perform expert-level data label…

HEPHA: A Mixed-Initiative Image Labeling Tool for Specialized Domains

Image labeling is an important task for training computer vision models. In specialized domains, such as healthcare, it is expensive and challenging to recruit specialists for image labeling. We propose HEPHA, a mixed-initiative image labeling tool that elicits human expertise via inductive logic learning to infer and…

Mentigo: An Intelligent Agent for Mentoring Students in the Creative Problem Solving Process

Creative Problem-Solving (CPS) promotes creative and critical thinking while enhancing real-world problem-solving skills, making it essential for middle school education. However, providing personalized mentorship in CPS projects at scale is challenging due to resource constraints and diverse student needs. To address…

Proactive Conversational Agents with Inner Thoughts

One of the long-standing aspirations in conversational AI is to allow them to autonomously take initiatives in conversations, i.e. being proactive. This is especially challenging for multi-party conversations. Prior NLP research focused mainly on predicting the next speaker from contexts like preceding conversations.…

"Pinocchio had a Nose, You have a Network!": On Characterizing Fake News Spreaders on Arabic Social Media

The detection and analysis of fake news and its origins has become a main task associated with the overall objective of social media regulation in recent years. The majority of work was dedicated towards detecting misinformation with some focus on analyzing the flow of fake news over social networks. However, there is…

Human I/O: Towards a Unified Approach to Detecting Situational Impairments

Situationally Induced Impairments and Disabilities (SIIDs) can significantly hinder user experience in contexts such as poor lighting, noise, and multi-tasking. While prior research has introduced algorithms and systems to address these impairments, they predominantly cater to specific tasks or environments and fail t…
