CHI 2022
The international ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (also known as CHI) begins this week. CHI, the premier international conference on Human-Computer Interaction, will take place from April 30 to May 5, 2022, in New Orleans, LA.
"CHI is an important conference because researchers from so many areas of HCI come together. It's a place where ideas can cross-pollinate and researchers from different subfields can connect. With this year's hybrid conference, we're looking forward to the resumption of old relationships and the development of new collaborations," said Jessica Hammer, Thomas and Lydia Moran Associate Professor of Learning Science and Interim Associate Director of the HCI Institute.
More than one hundred researchers from Carnegie Mellon have registered to attend this year's hybrid CHI event.
We celebrate the following awards and research affiliated with Carnegie Mellon University authors at CHI 2022:
CHI Academy Award
Professor Niki Kittur was named to the 2022 CHI Academy, an honorary group of individuals who have made substantial contributions to the field of human-computer interaction (HCI).
Accepted Papers and Journals
Carnegie Mellon University authors contributed to more than 40 accepted papers this year, including three Best Paper and six Honorable Mention awards. A list of papers with CMU contributing authors is available below.

- "'It's Kind of Like Code-Switching': Black Older Adults' Experiences with a Voice Assistant for Health Information Seeking" -- Best Paper Award

Abstract:Black older adults from lower socioeconomic environments are often neglected in health technology interventions. Voice assistants have a potential to make healthcare more accessible to older adults, yet, little is known about their experiences with this type of health information seeking, especially Black older adults. Through a three-phase exploratory study, we explored health information seeking with 30 Black older adults in lower-income environments to understand how they ask health-related questions, and their perceptions of the Google Home being used for that purpose. Through our analysis, we identified the health information needs and common search topics, and discussed the communication breakdowns and types of repair performed. We contribute an understanding of cultural code-switching that has to be done by these older adults when interacting with voice assistants, and the importance of such phenomenon when designing for historically excluded groups.
