Sense and Sensability: Exploring Future Immersive Environments for Scholarly Sensemaking

Scholars must often make sense of vast amounts of complex and diverse scholarly information, much of which is not "senseable": crucial information like questions, concepts, or assertions, along with key properties like truthlikeness or evocativeness, are primarily identified through effortful search or reasoning, rath…

"The Diagram is like Guardrails": Structuring GenAI-assisted Hypotheses Exploration with an Interactive Shared Representation

Data analysis encompasses a spectrum of tasks, from high-level conceptual reasoning to lower-level execution. While AI-powered tools increasingly support execution tasks, there remains a need for intelligent assistance in conceptual tasks. This paper investigates the design of an ordered node-link tree interface augme…

Words as Bridges: Exploring Computational Support for Cross-Disciplinary Translation Work

Scholars often explore literature outside of their home community of study. This exploration process is frequently hampered by field-specific jargon. Past computational work often focuses on supporting translation work by removing jargon through simplification and summarization; here, we explore a different approach t…

Patterns of Hypertext-Augmented Sensemaking

The early days of HCI were marked by bold visions of hypertext as a transformative medium for augmented sensemaking, exemplified in systems like Memex, Xanadu, and NoteCards. Today, however, hypertext is often disconnected from discussions of the future of sensemaking. In this paper, we investigate how the recent resu…

Improving Selection of Analogical Inspirations through Chunking and Recombination

Analogies can be a powerful source of new ideas; however, creators often fail to recognize and harness potentially beneficial analogical leads, especially from other problem domains. In this paper, we introduce AnalogiLead, an interactive interface designed to reduce premature dismissal of analogies by facilitating pl…

Formulating or Fixating: Effects of Examples on Problem Solving Vary as a Function of Example Presentation Interface Design

Interactive systems that facilitate exposure to examples can augment problem solving performance. However designers of such systems are often faced with many practical design decisions about how users will interact with examples, with little clear theoretical guidance. To understand how example interaction design choi…

Exploring Challenges to Inclusion in Participatory Design From the Perspectives of Global North Practitioners

Participatory Design (PD) aims to promote inclusivity by involving users throughout the design process. However, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and social computing research have pointed to instances where PD as practiced can, paradoxically, be exclusive. We aim to understand some of the challenges that could lead t…

Fluid Transformers and Creative Analogies: Exploring Large Language Models' Capacity for Augmenting Cross-Domain Analogical Creativity

Cross-domain analogical reasoning is a core creative ability that can be challenging for humans. Recent work has shown some proofs-of-concept of Large language Models’ (LLMs) ability to generate cross-domain analogies. However, the reliability and potential usefulness of this capacity for augmenting human creative wor…

Scaling Creative Inspiration with Fine-Grained Functional Aspects of Product Ideas

Large repositories of products, patents and scientific papers offer an opportunity for building systems that scour millions of ideas and help users discover inspirations. However, idea descriptions are typically in the form of unstructured text, lacking key structure that is required for supporting creative innovation…

Managing Context during Scholarly Knowledge Synthesis: Process Patterns and System Mechanics

Scholarly knowledge synthesis --- the production of a novel conceptual whole such as an effective literature review or theory --- is a critical yet consistently challenging subtask of research. We explore how managing the context of knowledge claims being synthesized, such as their production context or methodology, m…

Understanding Older Adults' Participation in Design Workshops

Design workshops are a popular means of including older adults in technology development. However, there are open questions around how to best scaffold this participation, particularly in supporting older adults to associate their designs with themselves, rather than designing for an "other older adult." By conducting…

SOLVENT: A Mixed Initiative System for Finding Analogies between Research Papers

Scientific discoveries are often driven by finding analogies in distant domains, but the growing number of papers makes it difficult to find relevant ideas in a single discipline, let alone distant analogies in other domains. To provide computational support for finding analogies across domains, we introduce SOLVENT,…
