This is such a great paper and really helps to emphasize how data under specification in ML systems bias our understanding and decision making. Especially in inequitable resource scarce settings. Thanks for sharing @emmharv.bsky.social !

Emma has such good research taste :) Given the sheer scale of these events, its really helpful to see what caught people's eye at these conferences...

Check out our work at @ic2s2.bsky.social this afternoon during the Communication & Cooperation II session!

This is a fantastic thread and summary of several exciting new research papers! These were among my favorites, too. Check it out, and don't forget to read @emmharv.bsky.social's award-winning FAccT paper with @allisonkoe.bsky.social and @kizilcec.bsky.social: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

After having such a great time at #CHI2025 and #FAccT2025, I wanted to share some of my favorite recent papers here! I'll aim to post new ones throughout the summer and will tag all the authors I can find on Bsky. Please feel welcome to chime in with thoughts / paper recs / etc.!! 🧵⬇️:

If you run conjoint experiments, you need to read this. Most conjoints estimate average effects for each attribute. But what if the effect of one attribute depends on the others? This paper has got you covered!

Due to travel restrictions, I cannot attend DIS in Madeira, Portugal. 🇵🇹🏝️ I recorded my presentation on how Technology Design Students use GenAI in class projects, accelerating design iteration but causing negative sentiment about learning and reflection skills. supercut.ai/share/cornel...
