Workshop Reviews
2025-09-15
I joined two workshops so far this year: GAI and A11y Workshop at CHI 2025 and Speech and Audio Foundation Models at TTIC Summer Workshop on Foundations 2025.
GAI and A11y Workshop
In the workshop, we discussed four themes in applying generative AI to enhance accessibility:
- How can we design GAI tools that foster opportunities for accessibility?
- How can we identify risks in earlier stages by engaging broad end users?
- How can we create sustainable frameworks for continuous feedback and iteration?
- How can we empower users through inclusive design that promotes agency without patronizing?
Speech and Audio Foundation Models
Dr. Wei-Ning Hsu shared three traits of the person he is looking for in a job interview:
- The reasons behind all the decisions
- Critical on the purpose of research
- Generalization to similar fields
