People form ad hoc conventions, by establishing linguistic & gestural abstractions, and shift information across speech and gesture to communicate more efficiently over time.
In our upcoming #CHI2026 paper, we study how these multimodal communications evolve in repeated physical collaboration.
Led by Kiyosu Maeda in close collaboration with @jefan, @rdhawkins, and team: William McCarthy, Ching-Yi Tsai, Jeffrey Mu, and Haoliang Wang.

If you saw @jefan present our poster at #CogSci2025, the full paper will appear at #CHI2026:
“Gesturing Toward Abstraction: Multimodal Convention Formation in Collaborative Physical Tasks”

📄 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.08914
@hci 4/4
🤖 Our findings suggest strategies for future convention-aware multimodal agents that: (1) learn users’ chunked conventions as they emerge, (2) shift to abstract-first instructions over time, (3) adapt modality to evolving user preferences, and (4) use redundancy to highlight changes from prior interactions.

Apparently, there is one person who co-authored 37 papers for #chi2026 😑 This is rather ridiculous, what sort of contribution per paper can you expect here? Probably time for a cap on how many papers you can be author on. /cc @sigchi

Join us for the third iteration of the Post-growth HCI Workshop at ACM CHI 2026! 🐌
This year, we are transforming the classroom into a site of resistance and radical imagination by asking: how can we redesign computing pedagogy to prioritize sufficiency, repair, and collective care over relentless acceleration?
The call for participation is now open.

For the 3rd Post-growth HCI Workshop at #CHI2026, we invite educators, students, and critical practitioners to submit:
- Experimental syllabi challenging tech solutionism
- Pedagogical interventions that center on alternative perspectives
- Critical teaching materials disrupting "innovation" narratives
- Zines, toolkits, and alternative learning resources
- Speculative approaches to computing education
Contributions may take many forms! #Postgrowth #degrowth #HCI

#CHI2026 has a new format for more social based activities called Meetups ! Here's the inaugural list of meetups (accepted from the submissions, stats on that later) that you can participate at during the conference: https://chi2026.acm.org/meet-ups/accepted/ (spread the word!)
#CHI2026 program is shaping up: here's the first glimpse at the list of accepted workshops: https://chi2026.acm.org/workshops/accepted/
This will be a really fun @chi ! (Reminder that there's no added fee this year to attend workshops, they will happen throughout the conference!)
I like that the ACM is opening access to the digital library and probably a lot of smart people crunched a lot of numbers to find a pricing model that might be sustainable.
That said, I find the the new registration fees for #chi2026 quite high, given that publications now have to be paid separately. For me, living in Japan with one potential publication, the participation fee alone would rise from 1000$ to 1350$ within one year. This already includes the reduced price. Next year it'd be 1550$.
Have we lost peer appreciation? 🤔 Not just at #CHI2026 I notice many review-to-reject. All studies have tradeoffs, all papers have limited scope. Sure, reviewing is fast, even with "passing knowledge", if we list what isn't there and conclude it's lacking. But we should review what *has* been done.
Whether you're new or a seasoned reviewer, I highly recommend Ken Hinckley's article on excellence in reviews - and championing papers: https://kenhinckley.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/excellence-in-reviews-mobilehci-2015-web-site.pdf
