Supporting User Interactions with Smart Built Environments
… portals does not scale well. Requiring the user to switch between tens or hundreds of mobile apps and web-based portals to interact with different things in different smart spaces may not be feasible. Moreover, it can be tricky for non-domestic users (e.g., visitors) of a given SBE to figure …

Scalable agent-based HPC simulation of cell physics and signalling with real-time user interactions
… be greatly assisted by using built-in real-time user interaction and subsequent visualisation. We explore this approach using a multi-scale model which couples a cancer cell physics model with a cell signalling model. This project describes how optimistic synchronisation can be used as a …

Steering Robots with Inference-Time Interactions
… deployment, there are limited mechanisms for users to correct its behavior. While collecting additional data for finetuning can address such issues, doing so for each downstream use case is inefficient at deployment. My research proposes an alternative: keeping pretrained policies frozen as a …

Graphical Methods for Image Compositing and Completion
… as natural image matting. It aims, using some user interactions, to calculate a map that depicts how much a background color(s) contributes to the color of every other pixel in an image. My contributions to matting increase the accuracy of the map calculation as well as automate the whole …

Towards Ecologically Valid Evaluations of Language Models
… how well these models perform in practical, user-centered applications. To ensure these evaluations are meaningful, it is important that they possess high ecological validity (Brunswik, 1955), such that experimental results generalize to real-world contexts. However, prior evaluations do not …

Multi-Model Semantic Interaction for Scalable Text Analytics
… interaction (MSI) technique, which leverages user interactions to aid in the display layout (as was seen in previous semantic interaction work), forage for new, relevant documents as implied by the interactions, and then place them in context of the user's existing spatial layout. This results …

Collection-Level Subject Access in Aggregations of Digital Collections: Metadata Application and Use
… of metadata, as well as the complexity of user knowledge required for successful subject exploration. While aggregations of digital collections built in the United States and abroad generate collection-level metadata of various levels of granularity and richness, no research has yet focused …

Machine Tweeting
… disclosures. Using hand-collected data on user interactions with corporate earnings announcement (EA) tweets, I find that bot dissemination generates positive short-term returns around EA tweets, which subsequently reverse. Additional evidence suggests that the reversal likely arises …
