✏️ CodeShaping is a sketch-based code editing approach where programmers annotate on and around code to guide AI in shaping the code structure, flow, and syntax #CHI2025 paper preprint here: arxiv.org/abs/2502.03719 video here: youtube.com/watch?v=QeI61Y…

My 2nd CHI has been a mixed experience. It's interesting to see how LLM research took off at CHI23, and is now facing some fatigue by CHI24. As junior researchers in HAI, it's probably time we pondered what makes interacting with AI truly unique, rather than just using it #CHI24

How do programmers decide whether to use generative AI 🤖 or web search 🔍 when faced with a problem? Check out our #CHI2024 LBW, "To Search or To Gen? Exploring the Synergy between Generative AI and Web Search in Programming" to find out!

I was lucky to join the lab when Damian was sitting right behind me! His dedication and passion for research is incredible. The way he thinks about user interfaces and interactions has also deeply influenced my research tastes!
