Wait, what? Why? Not sure if that's a good idea. I like 2-column submissions but page limits instead of word limits penalize using well-designed, reasonably sized figures and tables.\vspace{-.1em}
π’ Looking for current research on #HCI + #AI? Here's a categorised collection of 300+ #CHI2026 preprints, collected via arXiv:
dbuschek.medium.com/chi26-prepri...
This is a unique project in several ways: Specialists working with an actual AI writing tool product (not the latest chatbot or own prototype) as part of their actual job, in an important yet overlooked writing domain (German "easy and plain language" for accessibility).
Reminder for #CHI2026 ACs: You can still click "excellent review" (for your 1AC papers) to award specific reviewers for great work!
Was just thinking about it this morning, could we maybe change a PCS setting to send these out to all authors? π
Finalising your #CHI2026 revision? Or suffering from not being allowed to do so? I've "reviewed-to-reject" one of our papers with ChatGPT, to show how this leads to bad reviews - and give ideas for responding to this: dbuschek.medium.com/dont-review-...
I highly recommend Ken Hinckley's article on excellence in reviews - and championing papers: kenhinckley.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...
Have we lost peer appreciation? Not just at #CHI2026 I notice many review-to-reject. All studies have tradeoffs, all papers have limited scope. Sure, reviewing is fast, even with "passing knowledge", if we list what isn't there and conclude it's lacking. But we should review what *has* been done.
Fortunately, I did not get obviously LLM-generated reviews in my CHI AC stack of papers but my sample size is much smaller than with your role.
Three weeks ago, my feed filled with Grammarly ads - and I wondered: What if we took their messages seriously? My anecdotal "ad-vestigation" connects them to Human-AI interaction concepts, leading to counterfactual questions for alternative design directions. medium.com/p/1bab97d0fa98
For me, these issues have never shown up before in such density. And LLMs make it easier to get summaries of results and related work.
While reviewing for #CHI2026, I've noticed four new writing issues in #HCI papers, likely due to an increased use of #LLMs / #AI. I describe them here - and how to fix them: dbuschek.medium.com/when-llms-wr...
Sieht super aus! π π€©
Good luck! From a review we got a while ago (paraphrased): "This tool clearly helps HCI researchers [...] I don't see how this contributes to research."
Finish your discussions today - you got this! πͺπ#CHI2026
It's really good!

Is this average based on data or a nudge? π #CHI2026

Our article on the AI Ghostwriter Effect is the top editor's pick in today's email by #ACM on the rising impact factor of #TOCHI - cool! π€©

Looks great! I like card + map mechanics! π€©
Well, guess what happened? Despite appreciating the changes, it is difficult to envision what the revised paper would look like, so a fresh round of reviewing is required. π I think we should get rid of rebuttals without resubmissions. #UIST2025
Great start! π It looks like you're building a stacking mechanic (that's not the deck)? Interesting!
Do you find yourself coding similar stuff again & again to "just run this quick user study"? Florian has invested a lot of time and effort into engineering reusable components for (online) studies in #HCI. We've used & tested it across several recent projects. Now you can, too!π #EICS2025
For #CHI we can submit a revised version after initial reviews. In contrast, it now feels bad to write a #UIST rebuttal without being able to directly show changes. I wonder if reviewers will feel the same way and if that reduces the chances of seriously engaging with rebuttals. π€
Help me improve my lecture: What's one idea/concept/paper/system I should include in a session on interaction/UIs for human-AI co-creation? (Feel free to self-promote your own work!) π€© #HCI #AI #IUI
πI'm looking for recommendations on recommendation systems work from an HCI perspective! (for a lecture) E.g. on aspects related to the UI/interaction design of recommendations, user control, explanations, ... Thank you for any pointers! π
