We invite researchers and practitioners to submit a 4--6 page (double-column excluding references) position paper in the CHI Extended Abstract format to participate in the workshop. Submissions should be non-anonymous for review. Submissions can reflect on past work, in-progress projects, present challenges and approaches, identified opportunities, or critical opinions and arguments covering but not limited to the following topics:
Language Models for UIs: We invite explorations into leveraging LLMs and VLMs for enhancing UI-related tasks. Contributions can focus on deriving impactful features using text-based UI data, exploring multi-modal UI data, and discussions surrounding high-quality data acquisition and optimal interaction methods with these models.
UI Interaction Automation: Position papers are welcome on interaction automation enhancing a variety of applications, delving into new directions provided by emerging datasets and models. Contributions could consider how the integration of LLMs and VLMs can revolutionize automatic UI navigation.
UI Design and Development Tools: We call for insights into how computational generation and evaluation techniques can refine existing design tools and boost practitioners' productivity. We are particularly interested in submissions addressing the challenges of automatic UI code generation and offering a profound understanding of user needs and processes.
UI Evaluation: There is a pressing need for innovative qualitative UI evaluation methodologies that align with AI-enabled computational tools. We encourage submissions that offer novel evaluation methodologies to assess LLMs and VLMs performance in UI-related tasks.
Human Behaviors on UIs: We welcome studies and models that simulate human behaviors on UIs. Such contributions will yield deeper insights into user interactions and can guide the development of future UI models that mimic human behaviors with minimal reliance on annotations and user studies.
Mixed Reality User Interfaces: With the rising prominence of mixed reality devices, we invite discussions and contributions focusing on computational approaches for mixed realities. Emphasis on understanding and optimizing connections between physical and virtual interfaces and adapting to user preferences and cognitive load in 3D interfaces would be particularly valued.
Participants should submit the position papers by sending the PDF document to the email user.interface.workshop@gmail.com.
Deadline: Feb 29, 2024
Each submission will be reviewed by the workshop organizers and program committee members, and selection will be based on the paper’s quality, novelty, and fit to the topic while aiming for a balance of different perspectives.
Accepted papers will be optionally made available on the workshop website (with consent from the authors). At least one author of each accepted position paper must register and attend the workshop and register for at least one day of the conference. The workshop will be in a hybrid structure. Authors of each accepted position paper will present their work at the workshop.
