Dear all,
Welcome to a new episode of our bi-weekly HCI meeting this winter! The
first meeting is on Tuesday, January 22, 2019, at 12:30 pm at DGP seminar
room. Haijun Xia will lead a brainstorming session for a project that
automatically creates a slide-show style video for travel audio podcasts.
In particular, he would like to brainstorm ideas of transferring
information in textual representation to visual representation. In the
second session, Jiannan Li would like to have a short brainstorming session
on the scenarios for the drone-based video communication project.
Please come join us and take part in the activities. Lunch will be provided.
Regards,
Rifat

Hi dgp hci students,
There are some interesting papers every year submitted to alt.chi. I encourage you to have a look and add a comment if you feel inspired for the ones you read.
See below one such paper whose topic should be of your interest.

> Hey there,

> Happy new year!

> Pierre and I just wrote an alt.chi article entitled The Continued Prevalence of Dichotomous Inferences at CHI <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__drive.google.com_open-…>, and we would like to know whether you would be willing to contribute an open (non-anonymous) review. Your review can be very short.
>
> As you may know, alt.chi <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__chi2019.acm.org_author…> has an invitation-to-review process. It is not unusual from authors to invite people they know to review their article, and it is not against reviewing rules. We think our submission can be of interest to you and we would very much appreciate if you could share your thoughts.
>
> Instructions on how to submit a review are on the alt.chi webpage <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__chi2019.acm.org_author…>. Should you need further instruction on how to use the reviewing system, we have created this list of instructions available here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D0wJ4LQuoiSoRUS9gxkjA5BfRrHpLynjbpxe_FU…>
> Your review can be short and informal. Alt.chi reviews are more discussion-oriented than acceptance/rejection-oriented (though they will help chairs decide on acceptance). You don't need to be exhaustive and you can decide to focus on specific aspects of the submission in order to spark discussions.
>
> The final deadline for reviews is the 21st of January, however, the earlier a review is posted the more discussions it will foster.
>
> Thank you very much,
