🚀Our BiAlign Workshop @NeurIPS2026 is out! Call for Papers on Dynamic Alignment in Human-AI Coupled Systems 👫<->🤖!
AI is no longer a one-shot tool — it's a long-term participant in high-stakes domains. AI shapes human trust, values, and behavior; humans reshape AI's objectives in turn. 🔄 Yet mainstream alignment assumes static preferences, missing dynamic and interaction-driven risks: sycophancy, overreliance, value-action gap, and LLM dark patterns.
💡Building on our BiAlign Position Paper (arxiv.org/abs/2406.09264), our NeurIPS 2025 Tutorial (hai-alignment-course.github.…), and prior BiAlign Workshops (ICLR'25, CHI'26), this workshop moves toward Dynamic Alignment: alignment as continual learning, adaptation, and co-evolution in human-AI coupled systems.
🌐 Website: bialign-workshop.github.io/

Congrats all the co-authors on receiving CVPR'2024 best paper award on “Rich Human Feedback for Text-to-Image Generation” computer.org/press-room/cvpr… This work also paves way for how we can automate the eval of user interfaces or visual content in general arxiv.org/abs/2312.10175.
I’m delighted to share our new ICLR paper (arxiv.org/pdf/2311.18296.pdf) on perceptual group tokenizers (PGT), pursuing a novel architecture for vision encoding.
Multiple grouping heads are used to capture various grouping possibilities and each provides a context for feature refinement. The final output contains refined input and group tokens, and group assignments. Our model is competitive compared to SoTA vision architectures.
AI&HCI Workshop (sites.google.com/view/aihci/…) at #ICML2023 had a great turnout, with 5 in-person and 1 recorded keynotes, 60 papers (from 207 authors and 63 institutions), 2/3 of participants from AI/ML and 1/3 from HCI.
Thanks again to the keynote speakers @landay, @ancadianadragan, @merrierm, @QVeraLiao, @nikola_banovic for giving in-person talks and @ChenhaoTan for contributing a recorded talk.
