PhD Student Haotian LI Won the Best Paper Honorable Mention Award from the ACM CHI 2024 Conference

PhD Student Haotian LI, together with Dr. Yun Wang from Microsoft Research and his supervisor Prof. Huamin Qu, has obtained the Best Paper Honorable Mention Award from the ACM CHI 2024 conference, which is the top conference in human-computer interaction.

About the Award-winning Paper

The title of this paper is "Where Are We So Far? Understanding Data Storytelling Tools from the Perspective of Human-AI Collaboration". The authors investigated how humans and AI collaborate in existing data storytelling tools with a framework from two perspectives: the stages in the storytelling workflow where a tool serves, including analysis, planning, implementation, and communication, and the roles of humans and AI in each stage, such as creators, assistants, optimizers, and reviewers. Through their analysis, they recognize the common collaboration patterns in existing tools, summarize lessons learned from these patterns, and further illustrate research opportunities for human-AI collaboration in data storytelling.
