Because I took my meds in the wrong order, I am going to start sharing online presentations at #CHI2023 that were neglected due to the structure of the virtual conference.
Understanding Discussions Around Culture Within Courses Covering Topics on Accessibility and Disability at U.S. Universities
Nourish et al. explore how accessibility content in CS courses needs more culturally relevant pedagogy wrt disability.

I saw some amazing talks and met some amazing people at #CHI2023.
I want to thank everyone who was masked: it made it easy to find folks who really care about disability.
And I can confidently say I made some really wonderful friends, finally connecting with so many of you!

It was very funny to hear the exact phrase "Frank from Twitter" so many times!
And while I have loved remote work (seriously, my physical health completely changed for the better when the pandemic started), meeting folks in person has actually been wonderful.

I set out with a goal to meet with as many folks as possible and learn what y'all were up to. I had 16 meetings with 21 people! Our impromptu visualization + accessibility lunch had just over 30 folks show up!
I actually went to a *party* lmao!! (I never do this.)

1. Discriminability:
Differentiating between two properties requires a large enough proportion to be easily distinguished.
Clear patterns that stand out from the background are necessary for detecting the material to be encoded.
We tend to underestimate the size of areas.

2. Perceptual organization:
Organizing elements into groups makes them more memorable.
Elements nearby tend to be grouped together (proximity).
Similar elements are usually grouped together (similarity).
For example, height and width are often organized into a single shape.

1. Use the right documentclass options before submitting your paper to CHI
How it works:
- Comment out this line of code with % \documentclass[sigconf,authordraft]{acmart}
- Then add \documentclass[manuscript,screen,review, anonymous]{acmart}
This is the right review format.

2. Format nicer-looking research questions
How it works:
Load in LaTeX doc header:
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage[shortlabels]{enumitem}
Type in LaTeX doc body:
\begin{enumerate}[label= \textbf{RQ\arabic*:}]
\item x
\end{enumerate}

Meet Just Tech Fellow Rua Williams (@FractalEcho) 🎉, an assistant professor in the User Experience Design program at Purdue University! #JustTechFellowship
Their work illustrates injustice in technology design and highlights practices of resistance and advocacy via adaptive uses and modifications of those same technologies.
The @ColiberationLab had two papers accepted to #CHI2023: “Counterventions: A Reparative Reflection on Interventionist HCI” and “Cyborg Assemblages: How Autistic Adults Construct Sociotechnical Networks to Support Cognitive Function.”
#LLMs are powerful, but can they make existing GUIs interactable with language? Last summer at @GoogleAI, we found that LLMs can perform diverse language-based mobile UI tasks using few-shot prompting. Exciting implications for future interaction design! #chi2023 Thread 🧵
🧠 Key Takeaway: Using LLMs, designers/researchers can quickly implement and test *various* language-based UI interactions. In contrast, traditional ML pipelines require expensive data collection and model training for a *single* interaction capability.

To adapt LLMs to mobile UIs, we designed prompting techniques and an algorithm to convert the view hierarchy data in Android to the HTML syntax, which is well-represented in LLMs’ training data.

For a decade+, grammar-of-graphics approaches (ggplot, Tableau, #d3js, Vega/Altair) have been a leading way to make visualizations. Beyond chart templates & low-level programming, are there compelling alternatives? Or does the future lie in abstractions on top of these grammars?
There's exciting research work on new/extended grammars, including:
- probability expressions 📊 (mjskay.com/papers/chi2020…)
- responsive charts 📲 ()
- animation 🕺 (idl.cs.washington.edu/papers/gemini2, gganimate, and new @vega_vis work coming to VIS'22 from @mitvis)

.@_mcnutt_ has written a valuable survey of JSON-style grammars (arxiv.org/pdf/2207.07998…), concluding there is "No Grammar to Rule Them All". Should we expect a proliferating multiverse of visualization grammar variants? Where might we look beyond (or building on) such grammars?
Every successful CHI author follows these 13 rules of writing.

1. Your credibility comes from using specific numbers and explaining things with specific language.
p = 0.003 not p < .05
Add additional materials/appendix with exact numbers or OSF
NOT: The study had various effect.
INSTEAD: Y increased X under Z conditions.
Be specific.

2. All killer, no filler.
Cut out the fat in your writing, delete these filler words:
Basically
Rather
Just
As a matter of fact
At all times
Write like lettuce, not like whip cream.
