'LLM capabilities', 'Task complexity', 'Output Quality' and 'Writing tasks' ``` **Problem:** Complex AI tasks requiring almost perfect AI performance delivers low quality output instead of delivering high quality outputs **Proposed solution:** To achieve an average quality in writer assistant, an experience is needed as an inspiration. Authors argue LLM experience has has three consideration: LLM Capabilities, task complexity and output quality. Proposing these consideration are complimenting common taxonomy dimensions. These dimensions are derived from human-centered and social-technical perspectives. Such as feasibility, value co-creation, usability and etc. Further arguing that taxonomy of writer assistant capturing these dimensions can create the process of designing experiences. ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SyfONZtUh.png) <i class="fa fa-pencil fa-fw"></i> Frederic Gmeiner and Nur Yildirim <i class="fa fa-university fa-fw"></i> HCI Institute, Carnegie Mellon University <i class="fa fa-file-text"> </i>[ Read referenced paper](https://cdn.glitch.global/d058c114-3406-43be-8a3c-d3afff35eda2/paper27_2023.pdf) ## Beyond Summarization: Designing AI Support for Real-World Expository Writing Tasks **Keywords:** ```! 'AI-Assisted Writing', 'Summarization', 'Expert Writing', 'Augmented Writing' and 'Expository Writing'. ` ``` **Problem:** The article highlights the different scenarios of AI-assisted writting except for Expository writing (Evidence Based Writing/ knowledge generating) that is currently understudied and is intended to be explored in this paper. Expository writing includes summaries of external documents as well as new information or knowledge.Expository writing can be seen as a sensemaking process. **Proposed solution:** Developing AI support tool for expository writing has fruitful research challenges. The interaction between reading and writing brings new challenges for developing AI support tool. It is important to design different types and levels of AI support to maximally help the authors while minimally influencing or shaping their opinions. Expository writing has two unique characteristics: it is evidence-driven and knowledge-generating as illustrated in Figure 1. ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/r17folYL3.png) **Solution challenges:** 1- LLM”s suffer from Hallucination, although strong in understanding and text generation. 2-LLM’s are limited in reasoning. 3- LLM’s are limited in long-form generation capabilities. **[Read complete summary](https://hackmd.io/dlFV0aAXR3yHwoKRXI7rXA)** ## The Model is the Message **Keywords:** ```! `Machine-generated text` `Language control ` `Language Homogenization` ``` **Analysis:** The authors explored different angles around the the new technology application of AI, LLM.Beliving the LLG as text generation medum is instigating and accelerating a cultural shifts.They further explore the language had been under abusive prower and control systematically mainly by corporate. Examples: 1- Politics of Language Control. 2- Historical Corporate Control Over Language. 3- Contemporary Corporate Control Over Language. The authors expressed their belifes to proactively explore concerns of centralized power over language production tools. Such an understanding will allow us to better design and develop tools that meet the human-centered values around language production, rather than defaulting to profit-incentivized commercial decisions. They also explored the language homogenization from different points: 1- Centralized Models and The Writing Processes. 2- Homogenization and the Writer. 3- Homogenization and the Reader. <i class="fa fa-pencil fa-fw"></i> Isabelle Levent and Lila Shroff <i class="fa fa-university fa-fw"></i> Stanford University <i class="fa fa-file-text"> </i>[ Read referenced paper](https://cdn.glitch.global/d058c114-3406-43be-8a3c-d3afff35eda2/paper29_2023.pdf) ## Using Large Generative Models for Storyboarding: Challenges and Goals **Keywords:** ```! `Storyboarding` `Creative tool ` `Large generative models` ``` **Challenge description:** Producing a storyboard can be tedious and time consuming due to several factors. Firstly, writing the script itself is a challenging process, as the writer needs to transfer their high-level comprehension of the story into a structured, concrete, and coherent form. Additionally, the created visual plots has to consistently align with the written script, which requires certain expertise from the producers **Design Challenges:** 1- How to generate consistent characters and scenes in a video script. 2- How to establish the correspondence between the script and visual elements both at a specific moment and throughout the storyboard. 3- How to personalize LGMs to fit a particular creator. **Design goals:** 1-Establishing inter- and intra- modality connections in the storyboard. 2- Enabling effective human-AI interaction for intent clarifying and error handling. 3- Balancing creators’ reliance on AI and their past do- main knowledge and experience in making storyboards. <i class="fa fa-pencil fa-fw"></i> Zheng Ning, , Toby Jia-Jun Li and Dingzeyu Li <i class="fa fa-university fa-fw"></i> University of Notre Dame and Adobe Research <i class="fa fa-file-text"> </i>[ Read referenced paper](https://cdn.glitch.global/d058c114-3406-43be-8a3c-d3afff35eda2/paper30_2023.pdf) ## Decoding the End-to-end Writing Trajectory in Scholarly Manuscripts **Keywords:** ```! `Human-centered computing` `Applied computing ` `Software engineering` ``` **Problem:** LLMs still struggle to provide structural and creative feedback on the document level that is crucial to academic writing **Solution:** the Authors presented a novel taxonomy that categorizes scholarly writing behaviors according to intention, writer actions, and the information types of the written data.

It is a prominent method for making sense of complex AI reasoning and revealing hidden patterns from text data, to be that interface. **Limitation:** Visualization as an interface between AI and humans is not validated solution. **[Read complete summary](https://hackmd.io/p_IC3eF3SfKczITz2yITSw)** ## Towards Explainable AI Writing Assistants for Non-native English Speakers **Keywords:** ```! `Language variety` `Bais` `NNES` ``` **Problem:** Non-Native English Speakers known as NNES’s face difficulties in assessing paraphrased texts generated by AI writing assistants, largely due to the lack of explanations accompanying the suggested paraphrases. **Propsed solution:** The authors described four potential user interfaces to enhance the writing experience of NNES's using AI writing assistants. The designs focus on incorporating explanations to better support NNESs in understanding and evaluating the AI-generated paraphrasing suggestions. The design is made into four forms: 1- Confidence scores of model outputs. 2- Example sentences from credible sources. 3- Attention score. which is a comparison of usage trends of original and paraphrased suggestions. 4- Textual explanation of the suggestions. ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ByxecK0u83.png) **Limitation:** The design decisions involved in presenting explanations can unintentionally introduce further bias into AI tools. For instance, the manner in which an explanation is visualized or presented to the user could influence their decision-making process. This could lead to a biased text outcome. **[Read complete summary](https://hackmd.io/wU6LvIYlSzaiiQ4oTa2k0A#)** ## Using Writing Assistants to Accelerate the Peer Review Process **Keywords:** ```! `Peer review` `AI ethics` `Quality control` ``` **Problem:** Number of papers submitted is higher than available human reviwers. leading to low-quality reviews and delayed reviews **Proposed solution:** Authors belief fully automating the peer review process is currently not feasible due to design issues. However, here are ideas as to how writing assistants can help reviewers complete review tasks: 1- Easily create a review draft: Transform reviewer bullet points into logically coherent para- graphs. Enabling reviewers to focus solely on their judgments of the manuscripts without having to spend time and energy structuring it themselves. 
 2- Proofreading for reviewers via Grammerly like tool. This will ensure reviews are in good quality. 
 3- Flag emotionally charged words or phrases, and rephrase them so acceptable and helpful feedback.
 4- Judgment guidance: writing assistant can provide prompts to guide them in making notes about the paper and forming a fair judgment. 
 **Limitation:** the autors belive ther are technical limitations and ethical concerns. Human experts are still best placed to assess the quality of academic research papers. potential risks and rigorous regulation to ensure the confidentiality of the review process is upheld and agreed upon by all stakeholders (i.e., authors, reviewers, and editors) <i class="fa fa-pencil fa-fw"></i> Shiping Chen, Duncan P.

The Future of AI-Assisted Academic Writing **Keywords:** ```! 'large language models, AI-powered writing assistants, academic writing' ``` **Discussion:** The article discusses the potential benefits and limitations of using AI-powered writing assistants for academic writing. The authors suggest that writing assistants can help with tasks such as (literature review, writing, and revision) but caution that the accuracy and factuality of the generated text must be carefully monitored. The article also highlights the need for further research to improve the design of writing assistants and ensure that they support, rather than displace, researchers. The article discusses the potential of large language models (LLMs) in supporting academic writing processes. The authors identify five human-AI collaboration paradigms of writing assistants in creative writing: (ideation, continuation, elaboration, rewriting, and revision). They also discuss the potential of LLMs in supporting fact-checking, grammatical fixes, rephrasing text, rewriting passages for clarity, ensuring consistency of jargon, verifying logical soundness, checking for controversial or biased statements, identifying additional supporting references, and more. The authors argue that while these writing assistants may help scaffold or automate rote aspects of academic writing, they are inadequate without their co-creators. <i class="fa fa-pencil fa-fw"></i> Raymond Fok <i class="fa fa-university fa-fw"></i> University of Washington <i class="fa fa-file-text"> </i>[ Read referenced paper](https://cdn.glitch.global/d058c114-3406-43be-8a3c-d3afff35eda2/paper4_2023.pdf) ## Interactive writing systems and why small(er) could be more beautiful **Keywords:** ```! 'writing assistants, data sets, large language models, cocreativity' ``` **Discussion:** The paper proposes the use of smaller and more specialized datasets, known as Small or Specialized Language Models (SLMs), as a way to mitigate the issues related to large data-driven Language Models (LLMs). The paper argues that SLMs could be more accessible, inclusive, and culturally flexible than LLMs, and could enable greater human influence over generative AI systems in creative contexts. The paper also suggests leveraging work within machine learning and bias to design writing assistants for underrepresented languages, types of writers, and writing tasks. Additionally, the paper proposes co-creative systems that cater to multiple support needs and align system capabilities with user expectations. Finally, the paper suggests using popular music, such as rap, as a source of training data for writing assistants, which could represent wider audience concerns, thoughts, and feelings and bring voices from excluded communities into the NLP community. <i class="fa fa-pencil fa-fw"></i> Ibukun Olatunji <i class="fa fa-university fa-fw"></i> swansea university <i class="fa fa-file-text"> </i>[ Read referenced paper](https://cdn.glitch.global/d058c114-3406-43be-8a3c-d3afff35eda2/paper8_2023.pdf) ## Writing Assistants Should Model Social Factors of Language **Keywords:** ```!

'intelligent writing assistant, creative writing' ``` **Discussion:** The article proposes the concept of "creative struggle" as a framework for considering the role of effort and ownership in creative writing. The authors argue that AI writing assistants should not remove all obstacles and frustrations, but rather enable writers to focus on the creative challenges that are most personally fulfilling to solve. The article discusses the importance of psychological ownership in creative writing and how AI tools can affect it. The authors suggest that the ideal writing assistant strikes a balance between enabling creative momentum and allowing sufficient creative struggle to let the writer feel ownership over the output and engage in effortful self-dialogue that results in deeper self-understanding, authentic expression, and human creativity. The article also proposes future research directions to investigate the role of creative struggle in perceptions of creative ownership and its relationship to AI assistants. <i class="fa fa-pencil fa-fw"></i> David Zhou, Sarah Sterman <i class="fa fa-university fa-fw"></i> University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign <i class="fa fa-file-text"> </i>[ Read referenced paper](https://cdn.glitch.global/d058c114-3406-43be-8a3c-d3afff35eda2/paper11_2023.pdf) ## Repurposing Text-Generating AI into a Thought-Provoking Writing Tutor **Keywords:** ```! 'Text-Generating, Writing Tutor' ``` **Discussion:** The article discusses the potential of text-generating AI technology to revolutionize writing education. The authors propose repurposing AI into a thought-provoking writing tutor with the addition of recursive feedback mechanisms. They developed a prototype AI writing-support tool called Scraft that asks Socratic questions to users and encourages critical thinking. A preliminary study with 15 students in a university writing class showed that Scraft’s recursive feedback is helpful for improving their writing skills. However, participants also noted that Scraft’s feedback is sometimes factually incorrect and lacks context.

'abbreviation strategies, assistive writing, cognitive load' ``` **Discussion:** "The article discusses the challenges of investigating abbreviation strategies for assistive writing technology. The authors argue that studies on abbreviation schemes need to optimize for four goals: minimizing input time, minimizing cognitive load, successfully representing the communicative intent of the message, and accurately portraying the user's tone and stylistic details. The article presents two case studies for two distinct experimental paradigms and discusses the implications of the results. In Case Study 1, participants were given a specific abbreviation scheme to apply to auditory stimuli. The goal was to abbreviate sentences with minimal mistakes and as quickly as possible. The abbreviation scheme involved shortening each word to its initial letter and removing punctuation. Participants listened to spoken sentences of varying lengths and abbreviated the response part. The effectiveness of the scheme was established through error and reaction time analyses, and open comments. The study found that the auditory signal significantly affects how the abbreviation scheme is applied, and what constitutes a word depends on the audio signal. In Case Study 2, participants were not provided with a specific abbreviation scheme but were given a communicative goal that the message needed to achieve. Participants were instructed to abbreviate a message as much as possible while still allowing the receiver of the message to fulfill a task. Participants were allowed to delete characters and words but not add words or rewrite. In each trial, participants were given a message that needed to be shortened as much as possible, together with a communicative goal that their version of the message should still manage to achieve. The results showed that depending on the goal, users employ distinct strategies when it comes to abbreviating content, which posits a new challenge for evaluating the practical usefulness of an abbreviation expansion model." <i class="fa fa-pencil fa-fw"></i> Elisa Kreiss, Subhashini Venugopalan, Shaun Kane, Meredith Ringel Morris <i class="fa fa-university fa-fw"></i> Stanford University <i class="fa fa-file-text"> </i>[ Read referenced paper](https://cdn.glitch.global/d058c114-3406-43be-8a3c-d3afff35eda2/paper17_2023.pdf) ## Parachute: Evaluating Interactive Human-LM Co-writing Systems **Keywords:** ```!
