Bio

Hi, I'm Xinyue Chen. I am currently a forth-year PhD candidate at Computer Science and Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, supervised by Prof. Xu Wang. Previously, I received my B.S. in the Department of Information Management from Peking University , advised by Prof. Pengyi Zhang

Research interests

My work investigates strategies to support the grounding process in collaboration, communication, and learning. Specifically, I develop human-AI collaborative techniques to assist people in making sense of information in streaming contexts, e.g., video meetings, and live lectures. Building on my experiences in designing AI-mediated communication systems, I explored the nuances of the AI assistance dilemma in communication and streaming-based learning contexts: to determine the desirable AI assistance levels that can minimize extraneous cognitive load in real-time sensemaking while maintaining user active engagement, and balance their reliance on AI with user agency.
