    Excited and honored to receive a @GoogleAI PhD Fellowship this year. As a PhD student, I sometimes find it hard to believe in my own research. Luckily, I have the most amazing advisors, mentors, and friends... really the best cheerleaders ever! This is all thanks to them.

    I'm on the job market! I design, build, and evaluate human-AI systems with a focus on human-centered criteria such as understandability, effectiveness, & reliability. I'm interested in both industry and academic positions. Please reach out if you know of relevant opportunities!

    Walter Lasecki is a predator. Read this. Read his "apology" email. If you still don't think that this has been a part of his strategy and manipulation all along, if you can still find it in yourself to give him the benefit of the doubt, then you are a part of the problem.

    I reported the event in detail to AAAI in 2017 via a video call. Unexpectedly, Walter also emailed me an apology. I sent an email confirming both my interview and his apology to AAAI. I hoped he was contrite. I moved on with my life.

    Always great to see posts about all the new awesome work accepted for publication! As a grad student, it can also be terrifying and dejecting to not have similar good news. So, in the interest of normalizing that for anybody else also feeling that way, 4/4 rejections at #cscw2019

    Are you suggesting that the previous allegations weren't serious and urgent concerns? You condemn harassment, and yet 2 known predators continue to be CSE faculty. Is their privacy more important than our safety? Climate surveys won't fix this. Do your job. Protect students.

    We are also concerned about the new information emerging in online conversations that we were not aware of. These new allegations raise serious and urgent concerns, and must be investigated.

    Yesterday was a very normal, average day. 🙃 Can’t believe it’s actually done! Incredibly lucky to have been advised by @eegilbert and @clifflampe! Thank you, also, to my absolutely amazing dissertation committee @iqbal_st @jennwvaughan @eytanadar @answergarden!

    Beyond excited to share our #FAccT2022 paper "Sensible AI: Re-imagining Interpretability and Explainability using Sensemaking Theory" arxiv.org/abs/2205.05057 Building on incredible recent work in this space, this paper is about *who* interpretability and XAI are intended for. 🧵

    Our paper on evaluating interpretability tools via user studies with data scientists was conditionally accepted to #CHI2020! In short: these tools are often misinterpreted by users given their seemingly clear outputs. Huge thanks to @jennwvaughan @hannawallach Rich Caruana + team

    I wanted to say something about this all day but I didn’t. Why? Because I was worried about how saying something against this decision might impact my upcoming visa renewal application. We shouldn’t have to think about these things. It should not have been a consideration.

    JUST IN: President Trump plans to sign an executive order extending to January a pause on issuing “green cards” to new immigrants -- and will also halt temporary work visas for skilled workers, managers and au pairs in the H-1B, H-4, H-2B, L-1 and J categories.

    Affective computing applications increasingly use emotion recognition tech. Can emotion recognition be used reliably? Should it be used at all? Our #chi2022 paper studies emotion labels from this tech and compares them to self-reported affect from people. www-personal.umich.edu/~harmank/Paper…
