Happy to see this out at #CHI2025! Another effort to push for a more central role of designer in the development of LLM-powered applciations through designerly adaptation, enabling mutual shaping of UX design and LLM adaptation (prompting). And we made a Figma widget for it👇

Kevin Feng @kjfeng.me · Apr 25

🤖LLMs are being integrated everywhere, but how do we ensure they're delivering meaningful user experiences?

In our #chi2025 paper, we empower designers to think about this via 🎨designerly adaptation🎨 of LLMs and built a Figma widget to help!

Mon April 28: I'll be presenting our 🏅 paper on fostering appropriate reliance on LLMs (w/ @jennwv.bsky.social, @qveraliao.bsky.social, @tanialombrozo.bsky.social, Olga Russakovsky) in the 4:20-5:50pm paper session (G303)

Appropriate reliance is key to safe and successful user interactions with LLMs. But what shapes user reliance on LLMs, and how can we foster appropriate reliance?

In our #CHI2025 paper, we explore these questions through two user studies.

As #AI gains a growing space in creation and art, how are the public discourses on AI in the arts shaping creative work?

Human-centered Evalulation and Auditing of Language models (HEAL) workshop is back for #CHI2025, with this year's special theme: “Mind the Context”! Come join us on this bridge between #HCI and #NLProc!

Workshop submission deadline: Feb 17 AoE
More info at heal-workshop.github.io.

The image includes a shortened call for participation that reads:
"We welcome participants who work on topics related to supporting human-centered evaluation and auditing of language models. Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
- Empirical understanding of stakeholders' needs and goals of LLM evaluation and auditing
- Human-centered evaluation and auditing methods for LLMs
- Tools, processes, and guidelines for LLM evaluation and auditing
- Discussion of regulatory measures and public policies for LLM auditing
- Ethics in LLM evaluation and auditing

Special Theme: Mind the Context. We invite authors to engage with specific contexts in LLM evaluation and auditing. This theme could involve various topics: the usage contexts of LLMs, the context of the evaluation/auditing itself, and more! The term ''context'' is purposefully left open for interpretation!

The image also includes pictures of workshop organizers, who are: Yu Lu Liu, Wesley Hanwen Deng, Michelle S. Lam, Motahhare Eslami, Juho Kim, Q. Vera Liao, Wei Xu, Jekaterina Novikova, and Ziang Xiao.

I’m putting together a starter pack for researchers working on human-centered AI evaluation. Reply or DM me if you’d like to be added, or if you have suggestions! Thank you!

(It looks NLP-centric at the moment, but that’s due to the current limits of my own knowledge 🙈)
