Excited to share the preprint of our #CHI2021 paper “I Choose Assistive Devices That Save My Face” A Study on Perceptions of Accessibility and Assistive Technology Use Conducted in China.
Here is the paper link: franklin-li.com/ChineseATs.p…

Excited to feature our recent work ChartSeer in #Nightingale #DVS on exploratory visual analysis and vis recommendations @mingming_fan @mia_mifeng
It's easy to get lost when working with an unfamiliar dataset or problem for which you have no goals or only vague hypotheses. @jeffjianzhao introduces ChartSeer & other major solutions that assist with the exploratory visual analysis of #data buff.ly/2KxFrvE #dataviz

here's our schedule, we are just passing halfway of our "smell, taste and temperature" symposium of #CHI2020 papers. Up next one more paper on temperature #haptics session, followed by a panel and then later today the "taste" session! Schedule also at stt20.lab.plopes.org/ 21/N

Roshan Peiris chairs the Temperature session (1:30pm CDT) w/ presentations on a display only felt by certain body parts (Arinobu Niijima), wetness illusions for VR @mingming_fan, 3a/5
ALT A hand presents the ThermalBitDisplay, which is a pinky ring with 3 tiny peltier elements and a bracelet for the battery. The user can then touch the ring with another finger or press it against their lips, and the display can be adjusted so only one of the body parts feels the feedback.
ALT A hand reaches out for a controller that can simulate a wet surface when touched.

.@rochci meeting in a VR space hosting @mingming_fan. Nice to go around the table and 'relive' the experience of being in close proximity to each other. Audio-visual mechanisms need improvement. Thank you Dr. Fan for braving the presentation w/ your exciting work.

The dangers of data-driven AI are real, but “AI ethics” is a category error. When ur tech helps police target ethnic minorities, ethical problems don't start or end w/ facial recognition. If u ask, “Can AI detect people’s sexuality?,” ethical challenges are not just about AI.

Excited to share our e-SNLI dataset of human-provided natural language explanations for SNLI: github.com/OanaMariaCamburu/…

A terrible policy idea, that displays little understanding of disability or the performative ways in which people use social media. A slippery slope of people in government (or, worse, "AI" algorithms) monitoring online presence to impact govt benefits: forbes.com/sites/imanibarbar…

What happens when prewriting meets pen-and-touch interaction and intelligent visual diagramming? We designed a tool to better support prewriting:

Very excited to announce InkPlanner, a tool to support prewriting via intelligent visual diagramming, has been accepted to IEEE VAST 2018. My greatest thanks to my co-authors @mingming_fan @wyunnn @JianJZhao @mkannett and Daniel Wigdor for their support. More info coming soon.
