PhD student @CIS_Penn @PennHCI advised by @drewmikehead. Working on #HCI & #LLMs for better programming experience.
Excited to share our latest work, "Ivie: Lightweight, Anchored Explanations of Just-Generated Code." We developed a tool that pairs with Copilot to provide timely, concise explanations of code suggestions. Read our #CHI2024 paper on arXiv: bit.ly/ivie-chi24 #Copilot

Are you a professional Java developer? We at @PennHCI are running a study on how devs answer tricky questions about their code. Join us for a 1-hour Zoom session and earn a $75 gift card! Interested? Sign up here: bit.ly/3W8r0PV

🌟Excited to present our Ivie project at #CHI2024 in Honolulu! Join me on Tuesday at 2:30 PM in Room 324 as I delve into Ivie and its impact on AI-driven code explanations: rb.gy/h24r69. Looking forward to sharing insights and connecting with researchers! 🚀
@PennHCI is coming to #CHI2024! With not one but two talks about augmented reading 📖✨ Look out for these faces — Hita, @litao_yan, and I will be there and excited to catch up with you all :-)
However, we wanted to understand the interactions between domain experts, decision aid, and the resulting annotations. This became a #CHI2021 paper, presented today at 11AM EDT. Joint with @david_sontag and @arvindsatya1 dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/34…
This tweet crosses the line. Critiquing the substance of a piece of research is one thing. But, it is absolutely unacceptable to target a PhD student in this way. Shame.
Senior scientist work hard & write hundreds of papers to earn recognition. Social media & preprint servers are turning a model successful for hundreds of years up-side-down. Compare data reported by Google Scholar before dismissing giants like John Ioannidis. Shame on MIT.
🏅 #CHI2021 Honorable Mention "Visualizing Examples of Deep Neural Networks at Scale" by Litao Yan, Elena L. Glassman, Tianyi Zhang from Harvard University @litao_yan @roboticwrestler @tian_yi_zhang
It may be a bit early but the first author, Litao Yan, is applying for PhD in the coming year! He is interested in HCI & Data Visualization!
Came home to a wonderful surprise---our "Examplore 2.0" project (generalizing the principles in Examplore from API calls to entire neural network structures) got a #chi2021 Honorable Mention Award! Big 🎉 to Litao Yan (his 1st paper) & @tian_yi_zhang, excellent project advisor!
