Excited to share our new #UIST2025 paper, "OnGoal: Tracking and Visualizing Conversational Goals in Multi-Turn Dialogue with Large Language Models"! 🎉
We developed a brand new chat UI that helps users better manage their goal progress in long conversations with LLMs 🚀

📢 New paper at #IUI2026 on using AI to support literacy development in children. Given a spelling error, we dynamically generate a pedagogical program and transform it into an interactive learning experience. The experience is grounded inquiry (think Spelling Bee).
1/5 Spell checkers detect and autocorrect, throwing away a learning opportunity every time. We built SPIRE, a spell checker that teaches: it turns each misspelling into a brief, interactive inquiry into how the word actually works. 📄 Appeared at #IUI2026

🖥️ Most GUI agents focus on automation -- but what about understanding the *user*?
In our upcoming #CVPR2026 paper, we introduce GUIDE, a benchmark for understanding & assisting users in open-ended GUI tasks! 🎉

This is a wrong and dangerous take imho.
A Ph.D. is a marathon, not a sprint.
Yes, there will be days of a lot of hard work.
But consistency is much more important than sacrificing your work-life balance over 5 years.
I don’t agree. A PhD student should not prioritize work-life balance.
Getting to do a PhD is a privilege. You are paid to think. There is no pressure for you to be economically useful. It is a unique opportunity to push the boundaries of human knowledge and produce something ground breaking.
And nothing great ever happens without complete devotion. Look at everything that moved and shaped the world. Every single person who created anything meaningful, in science, in arts, in music, in movies, devoted their lives to their craft.
Extraordinary outcomes require extraordinary inputs and some degree of sacrifice. Sure, have work-life balance during your PhD. But be content a mediocre outcome.

Yesterday, I was giving an intro talk to our dept's new PhD students. Technical things aside, my number 1 suggestion has remained the same over the years: Treat your PhD like a job.
- Avoid 1.5h lunch and three tea breaks.
- Avoid gossiping and loitering at work.
- Lab at 9 am and leave at 6 pm. Being productive till 11 pm in the lab is a lie people till themselves when their day starts at 1 PM.
Everything worth doing can be done with high intensity focus during work hours. And having fun in life is the secret to being productive in a marathon.

A conservative vector field has the property that a line integral between any two points has the same value, regardless of the particular path taken.

Recruiting Ph.D. Students for Fall 2026
I joined the @UCF as an Assistant Professor in @UCFComputerSci and started the Designing Interactive & Intelligent Data (DIID) Lab), where we study, design, and develop ways for people to better understand, communicate, and experience data.

New article! A fantastic new tool Exploropleth: exploratory analysis of data binning methods in choropleth maps doi.org/10.1080/15230406.202… #GISchat Check out their website exploropleth.github.io/ and video of the tool in action: youtube.com/watch?v=lNV8VL0o… @GT_Vis @DataVisards
ALT Figure 5. Combine View lets users analyze a) a combination of one or more binning methods by visualizing b) the most consistent Bin, c) the frequency of the most consistent Bin, and d) both together for each U.S. county in separate choropleths. The new, resiliency binning method then utilizes this information to g) determine “resilient” bins (counts, intervals) that are also visualized in a choropleth. Hovering any county on the map shows a tooltip with relevant information about the county, as shown in e) and f).
