The work that @taewook_cs led got an honorable mention at #CHI2024!
It was also meaningful to me as it was my first corresponding author paper - still, it could not have been possible without Taewook, @hyomiri @eytanadar and @mjskay!

Taewook Kim @taewook_cs Apr 29, 2024

Our #CHI2024 paper - "Authors' Values and Attitudes Towards AI-bridged Scalable Personalization of Creative Language Arts" - received a 🌟Best Paper Honorable Mention🌟

Huge thanks to my collaborators @hyomiri @eytanadar @mjskay @john_jyc and anonymous reviewers!

New #CHI2024 paper - we explored the concept of AI bridging authors and audiences in creative language arts for scalable personalization and investigated authors' thoughts on such a media. More details in Taewook's thread!

What if we use generative AI as an intermediary between authors and audiences of creative language arts (CLA), like raconteurs?🗣 #CHI2024 (1/6)
