Bio

Hi, I'm Xinyue Chen. I am currently a third-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 research focuses on designing and developing interactive systems that enhance active participation and foster common ground in video meetings and hybrid communication settings. In virtual meetings, participants often encounter challenges such as overlapping conversations, restricted feedback mechanisms, and a lack of mutual understanding. My work investigates strategies to support the grounding process and augment social presence using generative AI technologies in video meetings. Building on the experience in designing AI-assisted meeting systems, I explored the nuances of the AI assistance dilemma in AI-assisted communication - to determine the optimal balance and timing for user reliance on AI assistance versus maintaining user agency in human-human communication processes. My research aims to understand when and to what extent users prefer to delegate tasks to AI and when they choose to have direct control.

I'm actively seeking for HCI research internship!
