CHI '26Human-LLM Collaboration +3

Characterizing User-Reported Risks across LLM Chatbots

As Large Language Models (LLMs) become increasingly integral to daily life, users are engaging with multiple LLM chatbots for various needs; however, prior research on LLM risks often remains lab-based or focuses on single LLMs like ChatGPT or singular risks like privacy. To gain a multi-risk, cross-chatbot understand…

CHI '26Agent Personality & Anthropomorphism +2

Negotiating Digital Identities with AI Companions: Motivations, Strategies, and Emotional Outcomes

AI companions enable deep emotional relationships by engaging a user's sense of identity, but they also pose risks like unhealthy emotional dependence. Mitigating these risks requires first understanding the underlying process of identity construction and negotiation with AI companions. Focusing on Character.AI (C.AI)…

CHI '26AR Navigation & Context Awareness +2

"If you are a Star Wars fan, use the force": Exploring Children's Virtual-Object Interaction Preferences in AR Headsets

Children are increasingly using augmented reality (AR) headsets in different contexts, such as education. However, it is unclear how children expect to interact with virtual objects in AR headsets; children's expectations for technology can significantly differ from adults. Therefore, we conducted an elicitation study…

CHI '24Sleep & Stress Monitoring +1

Investigating Contextual Notifications to Drive Self-Monitoring in mHealth Apps for Weight Maintenance

Mobile health applications for weight maintenance offer self-monitoring as a tool to empower users to achieve health goals (e.g., losing weight); yet maintaining consistent self-monitoring over time proves challenging for users. These apps use push notifications to help increase users’ app engagement and reduce long-t…

CHI '24Interactive Data Visualization +1

Do You See What I See? A Qualitative Study Eliciting High-Level Visualization Comprehension

Designers often create visualizations to achieve specific high-level analytical or communication goals. These goals require people to naturally extract complex, contextualized, and interconnected patterns in data. While limited prior work has studied general high-level interpretation, prevailing perceptual studies of…

HRI '24Explainable AI (XAI) +1

Reactive or Proactive? How Robots Should Explain Failures

As robots tackle increasingly complex tasks, the need for explanations becomes essential for gaining trust and acceptance. Explainable robotic systems should not only elucidate failures when they occur but also predict and preemptively explain potential issues. This paper compares explanations from Reactive Systems, w…

HRI '24Hand Gesture Recognition +2

(Gestures Vaguely): The Effects of Robots' Use of Abstract Pointing Gestures in Large-Scale Environments

As robots are deployed into large-scale human environments, they will need to engage in task-oriented dialogues about objects and locations beyond those that can currently be seen. In these contexts, speakers use a wide range of referring gestures beyond those used in the small-scale interaction contexts that HRI rese…

CSCW '21Specialist and Collaborative Work // Algorithmic Fairness

Dakter Bari: Introducing Intermediary to Ensure Healthcare Services to Extremely Impoverished People

Extremely impoverished people (known as Beggars or Homeless, depending on where they live), are a group of vulnerable citizens that are deprived of necessary healthcare support, consequences of which can be minor to severe, and in some cases, fatal. Bangladesh, having a significant number of them, is no different. On…

CSCW '20Honorable MentionData and Social Media for Health

Learning from Tweets: Opportunities and Challenges to Inform Policy Making During Dengue Epidemic

Social media platforms are now prevalent in almost all aspects of our daily lives. Existing work focusing on the intersection between disease surveillance and social media usually puts emphasis on early prediction of diseases. However, there is a dearth of research that explores the utility of social media in public h…

CHI '18Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) & Neurofeedback +1

Brain-Computer Interfaces for Artistic Expression

Artists have been using BCIs for artistic expression since the 1960s. Their interest and creativity is now increasing because of the availability of affordable BCI devices and software that does not require them to invest extensive time in getting the BCI to work or tuning it to their application. Designers of artisti…
