A major challenge for social event organizers (e.g., event planning and marketing companies, venues) is attracting the maximum number of participants, since it has great impact on the success of the event, and, consequently, the expected…
Conversational search systems increasingly provide source citations, yet how citation or source presentation formats influence user engagement remains unclear. We conducted a crowdsourcing user experiment with 394 participants comparing…
Users try to articulate their complex information needs during search sessions by reformulating their queries. To make this process more effective, search engines provide related queries to help users in specifying the information need in…
As a result of the importance of academic collaboration at smart conferences, various researchers have utilized recommender systems to generate effective recommendations for participants. Recent research has shown that the personality…
Our conferences face a growing crisis: an overwhelming flood of submissions, increased reviewing burdens, and diminished opportunities for meaningful engagement. With AI making paper generation easier than ever, we must ask whether the…
Today's video-conferencing tools support a rich range of professional and social activities, but their generic meeting environments cannot be dynamically adapted to align with distributed collaborators' needs. To enable end-user…
Scheduling is a perennial-and often challenging-problem for many groups. Existing tools are mostly static, showing an identical set of choices to everyone, regardless of the current status of attendees' inputs and preferences. In this…
Academic well-being is deeply influenced by peer-support networks, yet they remain informal, inequitable, and unsustainable, often relying on personal connections and social capital rather than structured, inclusive systems. Additionally,…
Video conferencing meetings are more effective when they are inclusive, but inclusion often hinges on meeting leaders' and/or co-facilitators' practices. AI systems can be designed to improve meeting inclusion at scale by moderating…
Big data integration could involve a large number of sources with unpredictable redundancy information between them. The approach of building a central warehousing to integrate big data from all sources then becomes infeasible because of so…
Academic publishing requires solving a collective coordination problem: among thousands of possible publication venues, which deserve a community's attention? A clear consensus helps scholars allocate attention, match submissions to…
Conference paper assignment, i.e., the task of assigning paper submissions to reviewers, presents multi-faceted issues for recommender systems research. Besides the traditional goal of predicting `who likes what?', a conference management…
Embedded computing systems today increasingly feature resource constraints and workload variability, which lead to uncertainty in resource availability. This raises great challenges to software design and programming in multitasking…
Advancements in AI heavily rely on large-scale datasets meticulously curated and annotated for training. However, concerns persist regarding the transparency and context of data collection methodologies, especially when sourced through…
This research addresses recommending presentation sessions at smart conferences to participants. We propose a venue recommendation algorithm, Socially-Aware Recommendation of Venues and Environments (SARVE). SARVE computes correlation and…
Conference and social events provides an opportunity for people to interact and develop formal contacts with various groups of individuals. In this paper, we propose an efficient interaction mechanism in a pervasive computing environment…
The proliferating adoption of platform-based gig work increasingly raises concerns for worker conditions. Past studies documented how platforms leveraged design to exploit labor, withheld information to generate power asymmetries, and left…
Purpose: This study developed a comprehensive database of presentation abstracts from the Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) Annual Conference and examined patterns in research methodology, authorship, collaboration, and…
The HCI field has seen a growing body of qualitative research, making use of a wide range of activities and methods. Interviews and workshops are some of the main techniques used to help understand user needs and to conduct co-design…
The vast majority of scientific contributions in the field of computational systems biology are based on mathematical models. These models can be broadly classified as either dynamic (kinetic) models or steady-state (constraint-based)…
