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
A code editor, containing a function named “create_window.” Below the function name, Copilot has generated a 15-line code suggestion. The suggestion is accompanied by automatically-generated explanations, which are shown in overlays next to the code. Explanations are shown for both multi-line segments of code, and for individual expressions (e.g., describing the function and and arguments involved in an API call that the user is hovering their mouse over).

Alyssa Hwang, a Ph.D. candidate in @PennEngineers, developed a new framework for evaluating the performance of large language models’ ability to analyze images. Hwang utilized the tool to run a battery of tests on the new ChatGPT-Vision. bit.ly/3R3R4KK

Just in time for graduate school applications, we created gradschool.chat/ an experimental LLM-powered assistant to learn about topics of interest to potential advisors, find your fit & "brainstorm" ideas. Would love to hear how you use it, and of course your feedback!

Hiya! I'm a #CIFellow postdoc at UPenn, and I'm on the faculty job market this year! I do human-centered #AI with a focus on language technologies/#NLProc. I've worked on automated story generation (think AI #DnD dungeon master), speech processing, and improving #AAC apps.
