Among creative professionals, Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has sparked excitement over its capabilities and fear unanticipated consequences. How does GenAI impact User Experience Design (UXD) practice, are fears warranted? We interviewed 20 UX Designers, with diverse experience across companies (startups to large enterprises). probed them characterize their practices, sample attitudes, concerns, expectations. found that experienced designers confident in originality,...

The COVID-19 global pandemic and resulted lockdown policies have forced education in nearly every country to switch from a traditional co-located paradigm pure online 'distance learning home' paradigm. Lying the center of this shift is emergence wide adoption distance communication tools live streaming platforms for education. Here, we present mixed-methods study on based experience during pandemic. We focus our analysis Chinese higher education, carried out semi-structured interviews 30...

Scientific publishing lays the foundation of science by disseminating research findings, fostering collaboration, encouraging reproducibility, and ensuring that scientific knowledge is accessible, verifiable, built upon over time. Recently, there has been immense speculation about how many people are using large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT in their academic writing, to what extent this tool might have an effect on global practices. However, we lack a precise measure proportion...

Recognizing representative living patterns in population is extremely valuable for urban planning and decision making. Thanks to the growing popularity of location-based applications check-ins on social networking sites, Point Interest (POI) a location quite often available trajectory data, which expresses user semantics. However, adopting semantics pattern recognition an open challenging research problem due three major technical challenges: effective feature representation, suitable...

The prevalence of smartphones has promoted the popularity mobile apps in recent years. Although significant effort been made to understand app usage, existing studies are based primarily on short-term datasets with limited time span, e.g., a few months. Therefore, many basic facts about long-term evolution usage unknown. In this paper, we study how evolves over period. We first introduce an collection platform named carat, from which have gathered records 1,465 users 2012 2017. then conduct...

Many real-world applications of language models (LMs), such as writing assistance and code autocomplete, involve human-LM interaction. However, most benchmarks are non-interactive in that a model produces output without human involvement. To evaluate interaction, we develop new framework, Human-AI Language-based Interaction Evaluation (HALIE), defines the components interactive systems dimensions to consider when designing evaluation metrics. Compared standard, evaluation, HALIE captures (i)...

Expert feedback lays the foundation of rigorous research. However, rapid growth scholarly production and intricate knowledge specialization challenge conventional scientific mechanisms. High-quality peer reviews are increasingly difficult to obtain. Researchers who more junior or from under-resourced settings have especially hard times getting timely feedback. With breakthrough large language models (LLM) such as GPT-4, there is growing interest in using LLMs generate on research...

What conditions enable novel intellectual contributions to diffuse and become integrated into later scientific work? Prior work tends focus on whole cultural products, such as patents articles, emphasizes external social factors important. This article focuses concepts reflections of ideas, we identify the combined influence that internal structures have ideational diffusion. To develop this perspective, use computational techniques nearly 60,000 new ideas introduced over two decades (1993...

The recent advances in large language models (LLMs) attracted significant public and policymaker interest its adoption patterns. In this paper, we systematically analyze LLM-assisted writing across four domains-consumer complaints, corporate communications, job postings, international organization press releases-from January 2022 to September 2024. Our dataset includes 687,241 consumer 537,413 releases, 304.3 million 15,919 United Nations (UN) releases. Using a robust population-level...

With the rapid process of urbanization, revealing underlying mechanisms behind urban mobility has become a crucial research problem. The movements dwellers are often constituted by their daily routines, and exhibit distinct contextual temporal modes, i.e., patterns individuals allocating time across different locations. In this paper, we investigate novel problem detecting popular modes in population-scale unlabelled trajectory data. Our key finding is that detected capture semantic feature...
